It is FD - good For stays most nights October 2, 2009 to Dec 17, 2009

[PrincessTrisha]

Where is it posted? I checked the disneyworld site and only found the old offer.

[DisneyBarlans]

What's the code? Or will they just know when I call and ask for free dining?

[spare+a_pair]

I refreshed the site and found it - let me see if I can link it -

try this

http://bookwdw.reservations.disney.go.com/ibcwdw/en_US/specialOfferDetails?name=Promo&promotionCode=fy10q1dine&market=fy10q1dine

The Value code is EVK, The mod/deluxe code is NAR - must purchase 5night/5day ressie

[star2500]

EVK for Quick Service at Values:)

[keywestbride]

It's weird- on the special offers page it says "
FREE Dining For Your Family

* Choose the Delicious Deal That Makes Your Disney Vacation More Affordable!

Get a taste of real vacation value with a package that rolls a Disney Resort hotel room, theme park tickets and a FREE dining plan into one wonderful package. Choose from 2 delicious deal options. Travel select nights between 10/4/09 - 12/17/09."


I hope they aren't cutting it off in November!

[star2500]

Yup...it's ready to go in my reservation system (TA)....you may want to refresh online and see if it's ready to book at the main site:) Good luck to everyone:)

[keywestbride]

There is a room only offer too! Check the fine print where it says something like "Not interested in a package?" I plugged in 11/29-12/6 at Pop and it came up $465- $548.94 would be full price.

Is there a code for this promo? If so, I'll wait up so I can edit my ressie! :wizard:

[star2500]

There's a Fall Magic Your Way promo also:) I don't have the specifics but it's an option for a discount in the reservation system:)

And a Fall Room Only option....assuming like the Fall Florida Residents offer on Room only:)

I don't see that on the special offers page - I just see the one that ends Nov 24. BUt at the bottom of that it says "not interested in a package, click here for the room only offer" and then it takes you to a booking page that says Oct-Dec room-only, but nowhere does it say the rates!

They must still be updating because different parts of the site say different things -- even in the Florida resident area if you access the offers one way you get just the code through 10/3 but if you go in another way you can see the FL resident rtes for Oct-Dec. FRUSTRATING!!

[dizneydiva2005]

my page says until Nov 24 ???

[DJNOWICK]

there's another thread a few down from this one on DISboards where someone who is either a disney travel agent or a disney reservations agenct at the call center said it's up through 12/17.

We are all FREAKS.:lmao: I am going to be late for work because of this. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

It showed me the prices once i typed in my dates.

[DJNOWICK]

this is where I saw thing thing about room only - it doesn't always say that when you book just a room, does it??

Oh No I hope it goes up to the 17th of Dec! Should we just try calling anyways.....

[Mom loves Disney]

I went to the site and it would also let you check dates for Dec. for free dining even though the page said it ends Nov..

[princessmom29]

[hunter1211]

Question.......Has anyone booked this online? Can you still pay only the deposit or do you have to pay the whole thing?

[spare+a_pair]

It's letting me get what I want online - if nothing else, I can always rebook online and then cancel our other ressie - anyone know how and when Disney credits refunds?

[Tiff172]

me too. I just got transferred. I hate this part lol

I haven't talked to anyone yet...still just on hold....the music is making me more nervous!!!

[tcp1005]

I'm still on hold... "patiently" waiting to change my reservation.

[Gaia]

Still on hold too! Nine minutes my butt... ;-)

[star2500]

They say about 2 weeks...I've seen the credit on my credit card within 2 days:)

[blondinkaya]

I'm guessing CL rooms aren't applicable with any code (I just called and got that from a CM) ... Ah, well.

[tcp1005]

You still only have to pay the deposit. :)

[spare+a_pair]

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO - It did work on our stay from 11/29-12/5 - I just saved over $500!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone else gets thier ressies and we may see you in the WORLD!!!! :cool1::cool1::cool1:

[keywestbride]

Question.......Has anyone booked this online? Can you still pay only the deposit or do you have to pay the whole thing?


Yep- I did. You only have to put down the $200 deposit, but it gives you the option to pay in full if you want to.

[pawla68]

There's a Fall Discount on the room portion....Club Levels are an option:)

[dizneydiva2005]

I was able to book online with a 7 day hold (ta site) so it might be different on the regular ressies online? I'm not sure? You could try it!!

[dizneydiva2005]

[CMG1]

Just got off with reservations and was able to modify my reservation to include FREE DINING!!!! :cool1: ...my travel dates are 12/6-12/15. Thanks to all on the board for heads-up and info!:thumbsup2

[jpaxton1118]

YAY!!! We just got free dining and saved over $900!!!! We are staing at the CBR and we had to upgrade our son because he was going to be 10 when we went. We are so excited!!!

[marie1981]

Happy for the ones who likes it, but personally, I would have preferred room only discount... FD is not good for me... I do not eat dessert, you tend to eat too much because you do not want to loose credits and it is not free anyway because you still have to pay gratuity and the breakfast is not included .

Well, maybe in march... I will dream of that wonderfull 4/7 + $200.00 promotion !

Marie, you should check the website. I too prefer a room only discount. I just searched my dates on the Disney site for a room only reservation. I called and changed my reservation I was able to save quite a bit. The woman told me the code was KHP.

[Gaia]

Anybody else that called at 7 still on hold???

Me! I'm booking 2 rooms, so I wonder if that's why.:surfweb:

[pixarfanmommn]

We already have a reservation at POP with the DP. Does anyone know if you can get the CS FD but just pay the upgrade fee? Is there a separate code for that like there was for Visa FD? I have to wait for my TA to be up to apply FD - ugh! Maybe booking on your own has its perks!!
TIA

[jendubz]

Since DH and I have never been to Disney, I don't know if we'd come out better with FD. How much does a couple normally spend on dining there? We would need to buy a ticket to get the deal, right? We already have 7 day tickets.

We already have reservations on a 7 day hold, but the room only deal would save us around $180.

[keywestbride]

Yes- I booked online, and did just that.

I had a room only res with my AAA agent, but I did not want to wait for her to roll in at 10, so I just booked online myself, and will cancel with her. I didn't want to take any chances.

It's hard to say. You can see menus with pricing on allears.net. Compare what you'd spend out of pocket and see if you come out ahead- you'd have to buy at least a 1 day ticket.

Who knows she might be on the phone already....I've been on hold since 7 am on the TA Disney phone lines.....so our lines are alot busier than the GP lines.

And you should be I just booked a client for Deluxe Dining and just paid the difference from Reg Dining to Deluxe:)

[princessmom29]

YEA!!! Got free dining CSR Nov 25-Dec 2.!!!! Saved $447!!!!!!!

[pixarfanmommn]

I tried 'fake' booking - how far do you have to do before you put the code? What code did you use the QS one or something different?

[f15robyn]

Since DH and I have never been to Disney, I don't know if we'd come out better with FD. How much does a couple normally spend on dining there? We would need to buy a ticket to get the deal, right? We already have 7 day tickets.

My husband and I went for 10 days in January 2009. We don't like to be tied to ADRs or worry about whether we want an appetizer instead of dessert, etc. We ate at several TS restaurants without ADRs, bought snacks as the urge hit (sometimes multiple snacks instead of a CS lunch), sometimes had breakfast at a TS restaurant, etc. Since we had family on the same trip using the DDP, we kept track. We ended up spending exactly the same amount as we would have with the dining plan, but without worrying about whether it "met" the guidelines of what was and wasn't included on the DDP.

So for us, it wouldn't have saved us any money and would have increased my headaches.

But I know we're in the minority. Lots of folks love the DDP and swear by it.

For 2 adults you would be saving $39.99 per adult per night...so $80/night. Can you eat on $80 per day or less? $80* 7 = $560 savings

Hope these numbers help a little

[WantToGoNow]

On hold for 40 minutes but FREE FOOD!!!! We are going 11/29 - 12/6 so the date on the main page saying through 11/24 isn't complete.

[keywestbride]

I tried 'fake' booking - how far do you have to do before you put the code? What code did you use the QS one or something different?

If you go through the special offer link, you do not have to put in a code- it does it automatically for you. It should have a banner that says something like Oct-Dec. special in a white bubble.

[hunter1211]

:banana: I booked it online and we are all set for dh and I to go in November at the resort we wanted!! :yay:

Good luck to everyone!

Room only discount OR the Free dining. They don't allow you to stack discounts.

Does anyone know if I can do the room only rate and add dining later?? It is a better deal for my family.

[dwsandy]

Did anyone book through Grand Gatherings? I'm still waiting!

I did. It took a while but I got what I wanted. upgraded from ASMo to CSR Nov 12-22 with free dining. Saved $550!!! :thumbsup2

76 minutes and finally got through! I got what I wanted. Yay!

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

I saved $500! yea me!!!

[WantToGoNow]

Did anyone book through Grand Gatherings? I'm still waiting!

Yes, we were on hold for almost 40 minutes but it was totally worth it. One room saved $1,138 and the other $903.

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

and I got thru in exactly 5 minutes!!!

[summerlady]

Does anyone know if I can do the room only rate and add dining later?? It is a better deal for my family.

Yes, you can. This morning I changed my existing reservation with free dining to room only discount and added QSDP, which we prefer over the regular dining plan.

[jendubz]

Room only discount OR the Free dining. They don't allow you to stack discounts.

The room only would save us $180.

FD would save us $560-ish. So if we went with FD we'd have to buy two tickets for $140 so we'd really save $420. Does that look right?? :confused3

But isn't FD only good for 5 days?

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

how much of a discount was the room only?

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Free dining is good for longer. I am staying 8 nights and it was applied to all. MIN stay is 5.

[jendubz]

how much of a discount was the room only?

The Value rooms are $59

No you should be able to get the free dining for your whole trip (not more than 10 days I believe) in one reservation....I believe I read that, but have to double check:)

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

is there a discount for mods? and am I able to find this automatically on the disney website?

[star2500]

Free dining is good for longer. I am staying 8 nights and it was applied to all. MIN stay is 5.

I would still try if you are staying for less, they applied it to a few of the reserations I changed this morning and they were for 4 nights. So I'd try either way:)

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Yep. Depends on the person, and it never hurts to ask!

[DJNOWICK]

Phone was taking too long so I did it online. YAY!

2BR VWL, 6 nights 11/29-12/5 for 5 adults, 3 kids, free dining 1 day base tix -- $4875.

Also, I got FD for my dad and stepmom for 3 nights the first week of December. I think they WANT you to book for 5 nights but will let you book for less, at least in a deluxe. Maybe it's 3 might minimum mod and deluxe and 5 night at the values?

[billysmommy]

I was so excited to see the room-only discount :lovestruc

This will work out SO much better for our vacation

Yes, there is, and yes you can. Click on the free dining offer on the website and scroll down. You'll see "see other offers" or something like that...then you'll get "October December MYW Package Offer", just plug in your dates.

Just spent an insane amount of time on the phone with a cm who could not understand the difference in rooms at the CR. Finally got my package changed, but I am so confused about what I even have now!!!:confused3 He acted as if I was speaking a different language. I am going to wait a few minutes and call back and see what I actually have.

Do you have a confirmation number? It may be easier to check it online.

Can you pull up your reservations online and check?

[mamasha]

i don't know where this link is on the disney site:confused3

star2500 need your help:worship:

[TanteDidi]

The Value rooms are $59

Where did you see that info of the 59$ for value rooms?

[star2500]

I just PM'd you:)

[Mommytobree]

I just go my reservation confirmation and it says MYW Pagk+Special Dine-VISA

I do not have a disney visa and never even mentioned a disney visa to the cm on the phone this morning.

do I need to call back and get it fixed?

I would, yes. For that VISA package, the deposit and balance need to be paid on the Disney VISA -- if I were you it would give me peace of mind to know they have the correct code!

Good luck!

[zippy doo dah]

I just called (and was on hold for 45 minutes) and spoke to a wonderful CM and was all set to change my reservation for the FD discount - saved me just under $1000!! :woohoo:- and she said that they had some good AP discounts so she checked to see which was better - I have now saved $1100 with the AP discount and paying for dining! :banana::yay:I am so excited...I may add on a day!

If this situation applies to anyone else..check and see which deal saves you more cash - it totally worked out for me!!!

Have a magical day all!!!:cloud9:

[phyllis1966]

Star2500, not sure if I misunderstood - did you say there's also a pkg. code released today? If so, what's the discount?

My Dreams U. TA emailed me this morning that she got us free dining (wasn't even sure I wanted it, but she got it anyway - she's great!), but even a measly 25% discount off rack rate would actually save us and the 2 sets of grandparents much more since we're staying at the GF...

Do you have any info. that can help - I'm getting the sweats trying to do the best for my parents and in-laws...:scared:

Thanks!

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

just ignore this

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Is it just me?

I called and added the free dining to my reservation. came to $2206 for Nov 12-20, 1 adult 1x6yr 1x8yr, POFQ, dining, park passes (NO hopper or waterparks) tax.

I just priced out on line, with the room discount only. I kept adding....1st added the park passes, then added the dining.

The total that I am getting is: $2153.34 for the same thing. using the room discount, and paying for our dining. Does that make sense?!

[marie1981]

Marie, you should check the website. I too prefer a room only discount. I just searched my dates on the Disney site for a room only reservation. I called and changed my reservation I was able to save quite a bit. The woman told me the code was KHP.

Thank you f155robyn and Keywestbride for your advice. I am on the phone right now , and my fingers are crossed (wich makes it very difficult for me to type this message! :) !

The CM I talked to this morning was not as useful as yours. She told me there was nothing she could do if I did not have a code for her....

Hi Phyllis....yes there's a Fall Room Only discount...averaging 35% on select resorts. That should save 2 Adults more than the Free Dining. Free Dining is saving them $80/night. even 30% off a room rate at grand floridian can be more savings:)

I'd check into it definitely and compare.

[star2500]

They might have added insurance automatically.

PRICE IT OUT FOLKS! Free dining may not be the best deal for your situation!!

By booking under the 'room only' discount, then ADDING park passes, and ADDING dining, my package price is $50 cheaper!

$50 is an excursion or 'emerg' money tucked away....I will take it!

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

They might have added insurance automatically.
Nope.

It is actually cheaper! Go figure!!!

I just called, and she said "wait you are right! " she even double checked it. So I am changed over to the room discount, and paying for dining, (which AGAIN I may not want. it may be cheaper for me to NOT pay for dining, since I know i won't spend money on desserts etc. )

So today I am going to price out dining vs no dining and paying out of pocket. :rotfl:

I figure if it is within $50 either way , i will keep it so that I don't have to budget with money on hand while I am there.

[star2500]

Oh definitely price it out both ways....depends on resorts, etc.

I thought you were comparing the same discount online vs. on the phone.

:)

[phyllis1966]

Thanks star2500 - I already have a MYW pkg. booked, though, so don't I have to wait for a pkg. discount code to be released?

[Not so Dumbo]

Yup! Doing it this way saved us $95 vs. free dining

[star2500]

No...you can get it applied. The discount will only be on the room portion. Call and ask them to apply it.

Great!

[livie1205]

we come out better NOT doing free dining...we have the AP 40% off pin.I am going to pop for 6 nights with reg dining for 900.00.If I used free dining I would be paying 109 plus tax for the room,20.00 extra to upgrade to reg dining per night and 1 day tix for my dh and myself.so it is not really worth it to stay on the phone forever to change it.

[star2500]

Definitely compare the discounts....the resort, which dining plan you have, etc. can all make some difference in saving a little more money.

And even if you get one applied, take a breath and then price it with the other promo....just so things don't get confusing:)

[phyllis1966]

Thanks so much, star2500 - I've emailed my TA...if this is 35% off, which is substantially more than FD, I wonder why she did the FD instead?



:confused3

[star2500]

It's hard sometimes....to know what everyone exactly wants. To some people there is more value for the Free Dining if the difference isn't that much because they could be spending way more than what the Dining Plan actually costs. To some people who don't eat too much....they would never spend that much on food anyway...so not as much worth to them.

Sometimes there are no availability for certain resorts with the Room Only.....or for the Free Dining..there are MANY factors to take into consideration.

But nothing wrong with just double checking.

[star2500]

I'm looking at your sig line...so assuming you are going to GF beginning of November...these are the rates for GV room with the Room Only Discount.

Hope that helps!

Date Rate per Night
Mon, Nov 02 $ 338.00
Tue, Nov 03 $ 338.00

Rack Rate is $449 so a $111/night plus tax savings per night.

:)

[phyllis1966]

Thanks star2500 - I love my TA - I'm just stressing because I have to wait for her to get the discount for us and the waiting makes me nuts! ;) You're right - maybe she tried for the room discount and couldn't get it for all 3 rooms, who knows?

I really appreciate your help with the info!


:sunny:

[phyllis1966]

I'm actually going the following week, but rack rate is $465 I think, so that's a huge savings!


:surfweb:

Oops - just saw you posted $449 - close, though!

[star2500]

Oct 2 - Nov 24 $449.00 rack
Nov 25-28 $469

:)

[eyor44]

Talking to Buzz now! About a 3 minute hold...not bad!

I talked to Buzz on Friday! He is such a great CM.

[Donald - my hero]

I am so super excited here -- been watching this board and waiting till today. Then i slept IN!! I freaked that i might have missed my chance for a discount. No problem there. I call at noon, got in in under a minute -- no on hold music or anything no phone ring just a great CM who worked with me to find the best discount. Used i have no idea what code -- i just told him our current reservation Number and the fact that i saw on the website there is a discount -- he fiddle around and saved me close to $700.00 :cool1:

[star2500]

Great Feeling:)

[kymma]

Got the free dining for my Thanksgiving trip. Thanks for posting that the code worked after 11/24. Saved me a bit of money!

[star2500]

:goodvibes

[missnanse]

Well it did not work for me since I can't go down until the 20th but I am happy for all of you it works for. Bravo!!:dance3:

[Jenjulia]

Thank you for posting about this!

I had booked the Poly GV CL for six nights (Dec 13-19) on a 40% pin in January but our first night (Dec. 12) was "room only" at POR. I was able to upgrade my POR room for Poly GV with the new code. I am so excited! :goodvibes

I think I might keep this as a surprise to my dh. Anyway he can get on the ME and be totally surprised when he arrives at the Poly instead of POR? :rotfl:

[jendubz]

I'm so nervous to book this. I doubt FD would be cost effective for us, but I just don't want to miss out. It would be so nice not to worry about dining.

But it would be nice to only pay $465 to stay at POP!

eta - Actually it's only $398! I've been putting an extra day on there the whole time!!!
Let me make sure I got this straight, if I have 7 day tickets, I'd stay from 11/29 - 12/5. Right?

[ckdsnynt]

No...you can get it applied. The discount will only be on the room portion. Call and ask them to apply it.





Great!

I changed up my package this morning , knocked off one night but added four days to my tickets, added park hoppers and still saved $2,000 (staying at Poly, MK view). What a deal!

11/29-12/5 is 6 nights 7 days.

*****Even if you are staying 6 nights/7 days...you can get as many ticket days as you like. It doesn't have to be exactly 7...but the cost is so minimal going from 6 to 7.:)

[tjlemkuil]

I just re-priced the FD package vs room only and found it to be 125.00 cheaper with FD for just my wife and I. :cool1:
