If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.
PM shimino1

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

No reason why you cant order a taxi for any restaurant. I think Sheyan offers delivery (I forget the hechsher) but be warned it could take a good hour and a half. Others such as Rosa, Pappagai dont formally but im sure they would send in a taxi.

Yes. I was just in WAJ and i used Caterclick.com (Eida Hachreides). It was delicious food and great customer service.

(the website is just for Shabbos food but they deliver weekdays too)
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

I stand corrected.
I thought it was a "resort". Post deleted.

Does anyone know how strict they are on occupancy? The rooms are huge, but they claim only 3 people per room when I called in.

It's amazing to me how the kallah who gave this wedding away was able to take part and truly be happy in the other kallah's simcha.

Is the standby upgrade feature new? I see you can request an upgrade on standby for half the cost and they count award/cert bookings at the base room rate, so I can request an upgrade from a Superior room booked with a cert, to the David Tower suite for just $395 when it would be $1386 to book outright.

It's always been a feature on the hilton website but they don't always offer it after each booking.  Sometimes they are great deals and sometimes not at all.  They are space available but $395 is a great price for that upgrade and you can have the receipt and hold them to that offer, when you arrive.
