2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[nae26]

Ok so is everyone ready for the next round of rumors?

No?

Are they releasing dates for early November?

 

[black562]

Even though I know you might say "TEST" my eyes are still glued to the screen

Oh no, I didn't think you guys were ready yet. I figured everyone would scream "NO MORE!!!"

I think we have a break for a while, and everyone can get the free dining reservations they're looking for.

For the Disney Visa free dining, does that have different availability besides different dates in August? And is this a call in only promotion? I cant find it online even though my visa is linked to my account.

 

[black562]

That was a silly question @black562. I'm guess it has to do with MNSSHP? At least I hope so!

What are you looking for? Ticket prices, release date?

 

[Iowamomof4]

What are you looking for? Ticket prices, release date?

Yes and yes. But mostly ticket prices!

No?

Yes!!!

What are you looking for? Ticket prices, release date?

Both!

So, I have a question. All of my trip dates don't work with free dining. They would be good for days 3-10 but what do I do for days 1-3 that wouldn't be covered under the free dining? Can I buy 10 day tickets on the Rd package and book a room only for days 1-3 and activate the tickets when I arrive or am I just going to have to hang by the pool, hotel hop and do Disney Springs for the first three days? I can't justify buying 3 day tickets for the four of us. It is so expensive. My head is spinning right now.

Will you be here for moral support when we all reach our 180th day?!?!? PLEASE!!!

 

[Landslide305]

I have my original trip that was booked months ago and yesterday I booked the FD one for the following week. How long will Disney give me to decide which one to go with? The dates overlap by three days. I don't want them to cancel both.

 

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

Exactly! I ask my boyfriend and he says, "I don't care, whatever you want" haha! I'm not a fan of the idea of a split stay only because I want to relax and not have to deal with packing and then switching resorts- but

We booked 7 Nights at WL standard room with FD for August 26-September 2 and 2 day PH for $3084.

Question abou the park hopper:
How did you get it for only 2 out of your 7 days? I thought I'd you select the park hopper option on the website it is good for the length of your stay. Meaning, in your case, it was a seven day PH.

Or did you choose to only get a 2-day ticket package. Therefore only 2-day PH

Woo hoo I did it!!!! My obsessive checking just scored me a standard room at CBR 8/27-9/1!!! I'm a little sad to give up my 3rd choice WL but Ill be saving $591 by switching standard WL to standard CBR and that's a lot of Margaritas!!! Keep checking!!!!!!

As soon as I hit post, I got someone. We are now all set for CSR for Labor Day weekend... and I'm celebrating tonight with a nice strong drink!

Hey we are going to be at CSR for Labor day also--can't wait!!

I keep looking for a Nemo suite for our trip (11/28-12/6) but it's not happenin'. My TA got us booked super early Monday morning so I suspect the rooms were either extremely limited (as they ALL were) or completely non-existent.

yes, you buy 10 day tickets and pick them up 3 days early. you need to go to Guest Relations to activate the tickets. You will not be able to make FP+ 60 days in advance for the first 3 days of the trip.

 

[Mom2Stitch]

We were their in September and we were able to get a bounce back for free dining in June. It was only offered for a week at the end of may beginning of June.

I thought I had heard that somewhere. I'm going to hope for that BB offer for this September--want to take DS, but with a busy college schedule it's hard for him to miss class. Those dates would be perfect for next year, fingers crossed.

Thank you!
