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

There's a special link for Disney Visa people but I never get it emailed right away, usually someone posts it here. Also, it's through the normal Disney website. The site recognizes that your card is a Disney Visa when you type the number in. It works for the debit and the credit and the deposit has to be made on the disney card

Thanks

hello all you fellow disney addicts!! Been loving this board! My plans keep changing but maybe by this time Monday it'll be solid. We just won't go if Splash is not open so it's looking like November 18th or December 16th as our start date. We've never been around the holidays so I'm a little apprehensive. Have y'all noticed the boards are down between 4:00 am and around 5:30 am every morning or is it just me?

As long as your check in date falls within the promotion you're good for the duration of your stay, max of 14 days

Thank you - that helps.

So of the two resorts you've stayed at, you prefer Pop? Not sure which to choose.....

I prefer the size of Sports, but the theming of Pop. Haha. I thought the busses were quicker at Pop, but DH argues the other way. There are much less people at sports, since it has less rooms. So the main areas were far less crowded, but we ate only 1 meal at the resort both times. It's a tough call; and I'm struggling to decide. I may just try for music to be different. Haha!

Yes, that's when they do their maintenance

We enjoyed Movies and didn't think the buses were too bad for the most part. The food court there is always crowded. Ugh, I don't know what to do. I need a plan!

Getting ready for Monday cheecking everything out. I have a change reservation button on my computer but not on my Disney experience. My question is can some people change ressies on the app? If you can how do you do it? Maybe i am doing something wrong.

 

[metacove]

Is Beach Club usually included ? If so... Should I reserve it now and try to apply free dining when it hits ?

It's nightly - there's a chat we are all using for when the baords go down...look for a ******* link a few pages back!

CONFIRMED I have also found another offer for Disney Caribbean Beach Resort, offering FREE QUICK SERVICE (not regular DDP)

So moderates get QS

This is being offered for September thru December 2017 at some South American TAs.

Disney is going to start putting online bookings in a cue like they do when you call to book. I knew this was coming but didn't think it was happening yet. Not a good sign for Monday morning.[/QUOT

 

[Icicles]

Any rumours on RO for September? Thinking that may be a better deal for us over PH + and upgrading dining plan...

 

[Meeko5]

Ohana is my favorite. We thought the food was awesome and the atmosphere was fun! We personally loved the banana bread pudding with caramel sauce and I'm not a fan of bananas!

We also love 'Ohana dinner. 2 years in a row it was hands down our best meal and the one we all agree is a must do for our family!

 

[agassizsmile]

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.

Pls can u post link to ******* and how to access?

So of the two resorts you've stayed at, you prefer Pop? Not sure which to choose.....

We are having the same debate. Stayed at Music 2 years ago. Stayed at Pop last year. We did prefer Pop but I think we more just preferred that vacation... it was longer, less crowded and we knew what we were doing. Pop food court was not as busy. I booked for the buses but didn't find much difference. We did enjoy Epcot fireworks from the "balcony". But is it worth $150 more. Originally we were going to try for Sports since it has a better layout than Music and 1st on the bus line but the theme appeals to me NONE. Now I keep going between the 3. I guess I have lots of back up plans?

Update on my previous post- I remembered what a previous poster suggested and tried Chrome instead of my default browser on Android and modifying worked. Got my confirmation email right away.

For those of you having issues, changing browsers might do the trick!

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 .

Okay I'm convinced. 2 mattress toppers. Have any suggestions?

 

[stace1214]

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.

You all have me wondering if maybe we should rent a double too. I have a five and seven year old, my five year old has better stamina that my older kiddo. We were planning on bringing a single and then they could swap out. Wonder if we're better off renting a double? What to do , what to do!
