Free Dining Watch 2009 - Dates Released!! Update post 1

[Get me to Disney!]

I got it and am so happy. 14 nights of free dining is so awesome. Since my 40% off code got taken away, my ressie went up about 1,000 so I am basically going to feed a family of 6 for 14 nights for 1,000 which is about 70 a day. This works for me!!!

Now, my parents who are just two are wondering if they would have been better off with the pin code............arghhhhh......

i am at work and my huuby is at home heres hoping he can book everything ok with out messing it up

I have been on the phone with a rep for over 35 mins....I have a feeling my res is all screwed up!!!

Definitely book it, then work on him. We always say it's better to have something booked and have to cancel than to want to book something but have it sold out.



Awesome--congrats! Sandi--go for the Family Suite while it's still available! I'm sure those will book up quickly.

Like many of you, I'm now being told they can only book deluxe dining, so that's what I'm doing. Then I'll call back and drop the deluxe part once the codes are fixed.

I am booking it on Monday, no DVC here Honestly I dont care where we stay in the values, lol, I originally wanted 2 connecting rooms at POP or a Fam Suite, but I'll take whatever is available on Monday

Congratulations everyone!!!!
ETA: tnmom - today is Thursday. They're offering it to the public on Monday.

I knew that!

I've already put this on the calendar but I wanted to double-check:

Can non DV folks call and use these codes (RYI) or do we still need to wait until Monday?

Thanks!

(Oh, and someone leave one measly POP room for me after Labor Day, okay? Thanks )

Called this morning, had to make the reservation without the code and she told me to call back in an hour or so and then they can change it. The system is not working right now....

BTW, I am a travel agent and I did not get info on this one. It is still not up on my online system

thanks to everyone here I am on top of things! You all rock!!! THANK YOU!

I have a Disney Visa but don't have my rewards card yet (its being mailed to me), I want to use the reward points to book a room...do I need to wait until I get the rewards card?

You can hold the room for 7 days, do you think your rewards card will be in by then?

I'd like one too please!! While I am happy that you folks all get to book your rooms, I feel like crying cause I have to wait until monday. No disney visa card available in canada!

Hope I get a value with free dining or it will be offsite for me

 

[cjhinch]

I haven't gotten it yet either!! I wonder if we call what they will say?

 

[NJRA]

[blondemom]

[onemaybaby]

It's weird that Touringplans and AAA Canada would BOTH get it wrong.

Although, DISunplugged said Monday.

Argh.

Where does AAA Canada show this, I can't see it!

 

[SGMCO]

I didn't receive it either but I am already booked the bounce back.
Considering moving my dates up since it starts sooner.
can you tell me what was the discount for upgrading to Deluxe plan?
Thanks.

 

[mermaid&cinderella]

This morning I got Free Dining for Bay Lake Tower 9/17-9/21. Had to use Disney Visa to book it. I did not get any email from Disney or Disney Visa.

I have heard the reservations are just for Disney Visa members and will be released to general population soon. Not sure if its true.

Good Luck!
