Free Dining Discussion (And a Whole Lot More) - Part 4

[practicallyperfect77]

Hello!

I'm getting ready for tomorrows FD release, and I have a question.. If FD starts on a Sunday, can I make a 'room only' reservation for Saturday, then book the FD 'package' starting on Sunday and receive Free Dining for Sunday forward? (At the same resort)

Thanks!

Yup...that's my plan.

 

[JayT]

Yup...that's my plan.

Great! Thanks

 

[practicallyperfect77]

Great! Thanks

I should put a caveat in there that this is how it worked before and my TA knows nothing different.

What's the best phone number to use for tomorrow?? I have a few numbers.....Central Reservations 407-934-7639, WDW Vacation Package Booking 407-939-7675, and 407-939-5277. Is there another one which is better to use or another number. So confusing. Good luck to all.

All of the numbers go to the same place. The Disney phone system is on a to rotary system and all Disney numbers ring into the next available CM. so just pick one and go for it

So do we all just call in the morning assuming it was released or will it be posted somewhere??

I'm just planning to check back here and/or the Disney Visa site....although I'm sure the Dis will explode with threads around 7 am. :$

I was told that it should start tomorrow. Have to call back at 7am. But I was also told that CB and CS are the only mods that will be included.

Sweet - what's one more day?

 

[Mbuksa]

Did Visa tell you which dates would be included. Still hoping that The offer extends into November

 

[Lisabish]

They told me the dates but I didn't write them down I know that my date of November 14 to the 23rd was in there and that's all I really needed to know. Which answers your question it's going into November yes unless visa And the CM were misinformed

Okay, here's the deal: I just called Chase Disney Visa. The rep read the following from her screen, which had come directly from Disney.

1) FD dates confirmed. They are Aug 31-Oct 3, Oct 26-Nov 1, Nov 9-20 and Dec 12-23.

2) FD will be released on May 7 to the general public.

3) She gave me a code and a special number to call at Disney (because I'm a Disney Visa cardholder) to book FD BEFORE May 7 but she couldn't tell me when I could call. They didn't give her a date before May 7.

4) To get FD, you must book a 6-night, 7 day package. She did not say anything about which resorts are excluded, if any.

I'll report back if it works but based on what others are saying tomorrow is the day.

They have never required 6 nights before. Only used that as part if the advertisement. Maybe she was just reading the ad?

Anyone know if the 6 night 7 day package stipulation is new? Puts a wrinkle in my plans!
