Still hoping...
I tried something that I hope will help, or else it will put me on their itshay list.
I booked a full package ressie on the phone this afternoon.
I called back just before CRO closed tonight and cancelled - the reason I gave was that I had forgotten that since I am a CAA member, I can at least get the 20% room discount (value season, value resort) applied to a full package with dining, but only if I book directly through them and not Disney.
However, I also said that I'm really hoping for free dining again, and since I can book that through CAA too, the only way I would wind up going direct to Disney's reservations in the near future would be if they sent any Canadians (well, me anyway) the current 40% code that's going around the U.S. - since for the package we want, a 40% discount but paying for dining is only $50 more than the same package with Free Dining. So, I'll be happy to use either, but the only one that would make me call Disney directly is the 40%. I was very clear about that.
The CM said he had heard of that code, but that it wasn't showing up under my account. I said that's fine - I'll keep hoping and just hold off booking the vacation until I get either free dining or 40% - and if it gets to be late April and I get neither, we'll either book a CAA package or wait a year as originally planned.
Hope this helps!
