Free Dining 2013

[black562]

Oh I forgot to mention, I saved nearly a thousand dollars with free dining.

Got ours done today as well!! We already had everything booked with AoA LM room, but unfortunately had to switch to ASMo..which is fine! But I stupidly booked our flights before the FD dates came out so now we are leaving a day earlier (25th), and have to pay a fee for changing flights. BUT I am still saving lots of $$$, since we were planning on paying OOP for dining anyway! So I get an extra day at disney, FD, and my second pick for resorts. Still happy!

Just grab a room for one night somewhere. May be cheaper than the fee.

No Disney Visa...I have to wait until Thursday to book.

Thanks. Have that one marked now. But what if you open new threads - how will I find them? would hate to miss out on more Disney cool stuff.

She had to move her trip up a day, not back.

Reports on what levels are being promoted under the deal...curious if BC/YC have any garden or standard views available...most other Deluxe do, not sure on Animal Kingdom yet?

So far...
All star movies...standard and higher
All star Sports...standard and higher
All Star Pop...standard or higher
AoA...family suites only
POR...standard and higher
POFQ...river view and higher (some have booked Standard, double check!)
CBR...standard and higher
CSR...standard and higher
Beach Club...Laguna/Pool view or higher
Contemporary...Standard view or higher
Wilderness Lodge...Woods view or higher
Poly...standard view or higher

Good luck every one!

Wow, I'm totally confused. We are staying Sept 22-27. CM told me could only apply FD to the 22 through the 25th? Should I call back and ask to another CM? Anyone else getting this info? I thought it was for the entire length of stay as long as you checked in during promotion?

Ugh...Monday!!!!

As long as you check in on a date during the promotion time, you should get the FD discount for your whole stay (up to 14 days). Call back, you must have gotten a rookie there.

Thanks so much for all of the info, I've been stalking this thread since it was started! Booked a Pirate theme room at Caribbean Beach for myself, mother, and my two young daughters. It will probably be our last girls trip since we're moving hopefully in October to the other side of the country where my husband recently accepted a job.

So happy that we were able to save $600 without compromising ANYTHING. There's only two of us so I can only imagine the savings those of you with families are getting out of this!

I booked five standard view rooms at POFQ this morning with no trouble for September 19-29th. I'm grateful that standard view was available since we don't spend enough time in the room to justify the added expense.

Yes. I had to move up a day. We were originally booked sept. 26-oct 6, and had already booked our flight. but once we heard on the FD, we moved up one day, now arriving in disney on the 25th instead. And that's just fine with us!! Like I said, all put together, the extra nights stay, flight fees, and the upgrade to the regular dining plan, I'm still saving money! About $600. Which is great! Now we will just be counting down the days until we arrive!!

I have my husband 99.8% convinced to go back. We just went for the first time in April and have been suffering bad from the post disney blues.

I will be calling Thursday morning 7am

Plans are: September 22-28 at Allstar Movies. We stayed at pop last time. will I notice a difference between the two resorts or not really? By going to movies, it allows me to stay an extra night.

It will be 2 adults and 2 kids, 5 year old and an almost 3 year old.

Hey Joe, is there a way to look up or get notified of new threads you post here? Would be nice to be able to be up to date on Mouseville happenings. Besides which, I've really enjoyed following this thread. Yes, I really have read all 78 pages and plan on keeping up with it even though we've alrdy gotten our FD discount. Is cool reading about everyone's success stories and hoping for those still waiting to see if/when their res dates will be eligible for discounts.

How nice. My sentiments exactly! And I sure don't want to lose track of you, Sylkie! It's been fun chatting.

Thank you Plutospal. I feel the same. I've never met any of you in RL (except for Kimba2078 - she's my daughter), but I feel like you're friends even so - like the friendly community atmosphere.
Is there a friend's list for Disboards? If so, how do you create one & add people to it?

For us it is pretty high. We booked Bb FD but just the QSDP saved us 1450.00 for 2 adults and 2 kids for 14 nights.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the great information about the free dining! Thank you black for having me call back!

Believe me, you don't want to ask me how. We can wait together till someone tells us.
