******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[Meeko5]

My head is spinning over this! I don't have a reservation at all in December cause I subscribe to the old school fd mentality of don't book it, or they won't offer it. But now, if I'm waiting in a queue will this Make a difference?

Or I'm wondering if there are two separate queues. A modify queue and a new reservation queue? Ack!! What to do!

I'm in the same boat here. And I'm wanting to stay at pop, which I'm betting will fill up quick with the QSDP for mods.

I'm just holding off and keeping my fingers crossed!

Anyone know if you will be able to book FD at midnight or will it be 6:00 am like dining adrs

We don't know at all.

I just tried to modify my CBR September reservation and got the Sit tight message with a 30 second countdown. Good news is after 30 seconds it loaded the modify page, but not looking forward to a virtual waiting room like when buying baseball tickets in the spring!

It could be anytime after midnight. Last 2 years it appeared around 4am EST. it's all a guessing game!

Never did akershus breakfast but we didn't like dinner. We were going to do it this trip but when I read the menu it Said it only served eggs and two of my kids don't eat eggs.

Well my fav meal there used to be lunch but now it seems they have changed the lunch to be the same food as dinner. Blech. My littlest will be 9 this time so we aren't doing as many character meals. Yay!! We will meet most of them though but have the luxury of 10 days.

So these are the kind of reports we need the night of. Everyone make sure you have access to *******. The masses have been let in on most of the details this year. Don't get me wrong I hope everyone gets their FD wishes. I just want my DIS friends to get them a little bit more. Hehe.

Stroller Question:
DD 4. DS turns 7 there.
Does anyone know of a good lightweight double stroller with a high weight capacity. We don't even own one now, but I know we will need one. I figured if I have to push something, it might as well be one that can hold all of our stuff (not sure the park ones have an storage) DD son will probably be the one that wants a break more even though he is older. I know they are to old in normal circumstances, but I am really worried about the amount of walking, and crankiness= no fun.

I had this same scenario in November. We rented a double from Orlando Stroller Rentals and it worked out great! I just asked them which was biggest / highest weight and they recommended one. Delivered and retrieved from the hotel - could not have been easier. It was still easy to push with both kids and I could care less when people said my 7 year old was too "old". He wasn't cranky. I win. .

Yes! And they are WAY more comfortable than the plastic park ones. The sun shades are huge, and storage rocks. My 7 year old sat in it more often then not last year, but mostly because between rides he was playing Pokémon go haha.

Was it the citimini?

You need to GT version. The regular Citi Mini is smaller.

Ditto that my 7yo was 48" last trip and fit fine in it, had to hunch to pull the sun shade over his head though. The GT is taller.

 

[notrub98]

I'm warning dh about the double. A double is 6" less wide and 6" less tall than a queen.

So how hard are they?

Like sleeping on a brick. I always bring or buy mattress toppers. But I have an ultra plush mattress at home so I like sleeping on a cloud .

 

[anitsa123]

That is the one I'm looking at. WE have the BOB duallie at home and I love it but that thing is a beast! And I wouldn't trust gate checking it on the airplane. Paid an arm and a leg for it. But my kids are 4 and 2 so definitely thinking a double is a must.

They tell you the height and weight for the strollers on each site. The City mini for heights up to 44 inches 50lb max the Mini GT 48 inches 60lb max the Bob Revolution Single 48 inches 70lb and the Summit is 48 inches 70lbs these are for the single stroller. The doubles in the same version have the same height requirements but 50lbs for each seat

We did the breakfast and we liked it. The server will bring Mickey waffles to your table if you just ask. Also, we asked for the eggs "well done", if not, they are runny. There is a lot of sausage and I believe bacon too. They serve it family style. There is also a buffet of sweets and fruit. I think you should give it a try

Does anyone know, if part of your stay is during FD and part is not during FD, do you only get the FD during the actual FD dates, or since you are there during part of the FD dates all your dates get FD? Hope that wasn't too confusing.

 

[TomServo27]

I'm a big Seinfeld fan and this quote was made by George Costanza in an episode that I thought was very funny. Believe me I'm not here trying to fool everyone. I'm booking FD myself and will be on here midnight Sunday night.

It's how to beat a lie detector jerry

 

[agassizsmile]

Have you considered if they only offer qs dining for the mods staying at a value? Two rooms at a value are cheaper than one room at a mod.

Two rooms at a value were not cheaper for us five staying nine days.

I used to scoff at these until DS#2 came along. He was curious and had no fear. We used to say he could manipulate the space time continuum. He would be with us one second and the next he was up on top of something dangerous or standing in the road. I'm surprised I lived through his toddler years.

I am to happy hear people say they would us it or have used one. I will order one now and try it out on him around the house to make sure this is the one I want. I seen one that goes on the wrist to.

It all goes by the date you check in. If you check in on a FD date, you get FD for the whole stay. If your check-in date isn't within the FD promo, you don't get it for any of your stay.
