From: Tina at TMFL on 8 Jul 2010 21:53 Can't you just call Disney and have them change the dates of your current reservation? Then ask what it would cost to change to the POR? You should be able to change and not have to cancel and rebook. Just make sure to tell them you are changing dates to get the free dining special! -- Tina C.

I don't think they will do it that way. My understanding is that I would have to cancel my reservation and then make another for the new dates and resort along with a new deposit and wait 4 to 8 weeks for a refund. Also the tour and Hoop-De-Do that I have already paid for. I hate to say it but I am tired of playing the game. At some point you just have to give up and let them win. Too bad. Bill

Both the spare and babyback ribs are excellent. (I prefer the babybacks.) The brisket is literally the best I've had. You don't need the sauce with any of it, but the sauce is really, really good. (They put it on the side. Use it as a dip for your fries.) The chicken, not so much. The time I tried it, it was over-cooked and dry. Haven't tried the sausage or the salad. The fries are hand cut and worth the 15 days they'll take off your life. The mac and cheese, I can take or leave, but others rave about it. The beans are also really good, they use the brisket they didn't sell the day before to make it. The cole slaw is great with the meal, 'cause it's one of the only things that don't have meat in it. Save room for the peach cobbler. I mean that. (More likely, you'll take it with you and eat it later.) I'm getting hungry again. Don't go late. They sometimes run out of things. The seating is really limited, but there usually isn't a problem getting a seat, but it might be tight. The line can back up to the door, but the line moves pretty quick. Know what you want, and be ready to pay for it. All the other people behind you will thank you. Oh, don't park where you're not supposed to. Don't be afraid of the place. It was on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and it's not a diner, and it's not a drive-in. Got it? But you won't be disappointed. They aren't open on Mondays. If you don't know how to get around Chicago, let me know, I'll send directions.
