Originally Posted By crawtaterfamily Thanks very much for responding, SuzieQ and MickeyMommy.

I told her I had the offer in front of me and it says it's valid for all the Disney property hotels. She put me on hold and then said it's not available for the dates I picked at the GCH (Oct 9-14). I asked to change my reservation for any date in October and she said the offer is not valid for the entire month of October. The advertisement I have states that the offer begins Oct. 1 so I don't know what's going on. It's frustrating because I waited a long time to make my reservation because I knew they would have the 4th night free offer. When I kept calling, one of the CMs told me they could apply the offer to an existing reservation if they had the 4th night free offer this year. But now they are saying October isn't available. Anyway thanks again for your help!

Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 So if you already have an exsisting reservation then they can apply the offer?? I have a reservation for Dec. I wonder if it could be applied to that? DId you make your reservations throug the Walt Disney Travel CO? or directly through the hotel?
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy That is a bummer, crawtaterfamily. Did you call Walt Disney Travel at 1-800-824-1146? I've heard the Grand is just about filled for October already. Any way you can bump your trip to November? We stayed there last November, and it is so nice with all the holiday decorations up. Good Luck!
Originally Posted By SuzieQ tinkerbell77, I am in the same position. I called Disney and they are sold out for my dates, so the 4th night free can not be had. The only way to find out if you can get the deal applied is to call Disney Travel.
Originally Posted By crawtaterfamily Thanks for the advice everyone. I have learned so much great Disney info. from this board. Tinkerbell77, it's worth a try to call and see if they can apply the offer...I made my reservation through the Disney Travel Co, not the hotel directly. At first, the CM I spoke with today, Gina, told me the offer could only be applied to brand new reservations but that's not what the last CM told me so that's when she told me to speak with her supervisor, Ellie, who said it can be done in some instances. It feels like I'm trying to use frequent flyer miles...the Fall offer only recently came out and yet all the available rooms/suites at the discounted offer have already been taken. If we can't get the deal that's fine but I guess what bugs me is being told completely different things, depending on who I'm talking to at the Disney Travel Co. MickeyMommy, I'm surprised to hear the Grand is nearly full for October. I thought we picked a low-crowd week but now am not so sure. Oh well, it will be fun no matter what!
Originally Posted By tinkerbell77 I will have to call them and see if I can have it applied to my reservation in Dec. But if not then oh well, I will be there for the holiday decorations. Thats all I care about!!! Great info though thanks

Expedia does offer the 4th night free as well as Get Away Today and Costco. You might want to try one of them - if that's an option for you!
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy I also think October is a big convention month, so alot of rooms are blocked off far in advance. I am often surprised how slow the park is on peak days, and how busy it is during off season. You just never know...
Originally Posted By mamacita Costco is offering the 4th nigth free as well so try checking with them. My friend just booked a room with concierge and got the 4th night free through Costco. Good luck!
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thanks for the tip about Costco. I checked there and I think we'd save $$ over the reservations we already have Off to do more research..............
