Free Dining 2013 Part 2 ~ The Sequel

[black562]

Hello??? Is everyone out celebrating the holiday? I am at home sipping wine, from my Mickey wine glass, of course. : ). I know, I have a big "L" plastered to my forehead.

Staying busy today at the Columbus Zoo. Jack Hanna says hello!

I don't want to put a damper on your wonderful plans, but I wanted to alert you that if you want free dining, you may have to consider an alternate resort. LM rooms are typically excluded form free dining and any discounts. Last year there were a handful of pins/codes that went out, but that was because of them first opening and some even suggest that was a mistake even then. Sorry

Grrrr. Hrm, I might need to re-evaluate where we stay, then. I really really want the LM room, but if free dining was offered to me if I stayed at somewhere like POP, I think I'd change places.

Free Dining for life, sweet!

Just wish it included tips the way it used to.

Can you add our dates to your list? 10/2-10/7. I'm not sure if we'll do meet ups, it depends on timing. Currently at AofA.

GREAT JOB putting this list together!!!!! As I look at this list there are 18 people that are either there the same days as me or at least over lap with my dates... how fun! looking forward to seeing the lime green mickeys!

Oh, don't worry about it. It's okay, has happened to many of us. I believe all you can do is just delete your text in edit mode, but it will still show you posted something. At this point, it's all good. : )

I'm here... at home, doing yard work, bbq, hanging out around home. Since it's pretty quiet on here, and I now think that we are all friends...

I'm going to throw out two questions that really don't relate to free dining if I may...
can anyone tell me what the water parks and more tickets... what does it include. And my second question, we take a half of a Disney day and go to the ocean, we've always done Cocoa Beach, but St Pete's is only 20 minutes farther the other direction, which is a better beach? Opinions please....

The water parks and more option includes both water park and Disney Quest. There may be a couple of other things, but I'm not sure. It used to include a lot more like tickets to la nuba and mini golf, but that went away a long time ago. Anyway, we find that if we are going to use it twice it pays for us. My kids really like Typhoon Lagoon, so for us we always add on the water parks and more. Disney quest is great on a really hot or rainy day.

Personally, I love the Gulf Coast more; in fact, if I am not at WDW, I am there. Sand is finer, waves are calmer, water is clearer, AND the sunsets! The sunsets alone are worth the extra minutes. : )

Ooooo...it says for this summer (I hope it includes September too), but you can now get a wake up call from...hold the phones...MIKE WAZKOWSKI to get you up and ready to head to the parks in the morning!

I prefer the Gulf Coast, too. I think the beaches are much nicer there.

Water Parks Fun & More ($57 per ticket flat fee - same price as park hopper option; price is $79 per ticket flat fee if both options are purchased)
Includes Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach & DisneyQuest - number of admissions is same as number of days for park tickets; also includes 1 round (before 4:00 pm) at Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course & Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (not sure if it's 1 round at each or just 1 round total) & Oak Trail Golf Course (9-hole - tee time ressie required)
If you're planning to add the park hopper option anyway, it's "only" another $24 to add the WPF&M option. A water park ticket is $55.38 for adult & $46.86 for child. (Above info comes from Disney website)

Would love to do a meet up if we can. Maybe we should try to create our own lime green mickeys for a "yep, I'm a member of this (and other?) Dis-threads".
Anyone available for meet up on Thurs 9/12 (evening) or sometime Sun (9/15) or morning/early afternoon on Tues 9/17?

I agree, it was awesome when it included tips and appetizer. I really wish they would at least let you choose between appetizer and dessert, but alas, they will more likely remove options over adding them. Of course, they did add the refillable mug.

I would soooo love, love, love if they let you choose appetizer or dessert. Some days you just don't feel like dessert; snacks are already kinda like my dessert.

When I was on the phone with my first trip asking about tipping the person said on the phone, that alot of waiters and waitresses, wouldn't do much for those on the dining plan because they already knew they had a tip, so They would let those tables slack. So to change it, they took out the tips on the dp. Now they have to work for their tip it would be nice to get an app tho, I get sick with two much sugar so I hardly eat the desert
