I suspect the blackout dates are because that week is well-booked with Pop Warner resort guests, and they don't want to give them free dining. Can you imagine how pissed all those Pop Warner people will be? ~Amanda

The question is if I cancel PC and reserve PO will they transfer my deposit to the new booking? I assume the dining reservations I have already made will not be affected. I really hate to cancel altogether because my "first time" friend is really looking forward to the trip. Airfare for Friday departure is much more than a Wednesday. Might even consider leaving on Thursday and driving down, stopping for the night somewhere like Ocala. Keane, you know everything so what is you opinion? Someone said the week before is Pop Warner. Don't like being there at that time. Need to decide soon before the hoards decend. When did planning become such a chore? Bill

Is that making a difference possibly? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (That was my best Darth Vader.) So, the week before *and* after RADP 15... Doesn't Disney like us? (<-- rhetorical question.)

Everytime I've had to cancel, the new reservation was another deposit. A credit for the cancelled res would appear about a week later. Maybe they changed it, but my latest trial at this was last December. >I assume the dining reservations I have already made will not be >affected. I don't think so. If you tied it to your current reservation number, you might want to call Disney to make sure. >I really hate to cancel altogether because my "first time" friend is >really looking forward to the trip. >Airfare for Friday departure is much more than a Wednesday. >Might even consider leaving on Thursday and driving down, stopping for >the night somewhere like Ocala. Where are you coming from? (I might have known this at one time, but you know those brain cells... :-)) >Keane, you know everything so what is you opinion? Right. I wish. If I'm so smart, how come I ain't rich? >Someone said the week before is Pop Warner. Don't like being there at >that time. Just don't stay at ASR, and if there are millions of kids at the park you're at, change parks. (Which is why I don't make reservations at the parks until the day I'm heading into a park.) >Need to decide soon before the hoards decend. >When did planning become such a chore? I never used to plan. Seems I've had to in my last few trips. At least a little...
