2015 FREE DINING THREAD _ All Questions HERE!!

[lahobbs4]

We've stayed at the Cars suite before, we loved it! I would totally choose whichever option gives you the bigger discount!

If only my sweet 3 yo daughter would be ok with that! She is a Nemo FANATIC and I already showed her pictures of the room

Yes, keep waiting, the rep eventually just came on the line from dead air.

Been on for 30 mins so far lol Sometimes I feel like we should have picked a beach vacation instead

I had dead air for 26 minutes, then suddenly got a CM and booked dining. They never took my info ahead of time or anything so for those of you on hold stay on the line even with dead air.

Has anyone who is already booked into CBR been able to add free dining to a standard room over the phone?

Unlike previous years, however, it appears that you cannot start your stay during the promotion and extend beyond the promotion....I'm trying for 2 weeks starting November 8 and it will only let me go to November 19, which is 11 days.

I was able to get 6 Nights/Days at POP after calling to modify directly at 7am. Just got off the phone and the Cast Member said they were taking them one at a time and that on the travel agent line they had about 800 calls lined up. So keep trying and you will get through!!!

Apparently it means the rooms are sold out for the promotion. I had the same for all the resorts I tried (value and moderate) for the week of Sept 19-26.

I am bummed out since I can't change my dates. I will have to do the discounted room rate and then save for dining I suppose.

What about if you already have the reservation? We booked the room and added the Dining Plan but now I just want to take advantage of the FREE Dining and remove the paid for Dining. Think I will be OK to just wait until the madness has died down to call and alter?

Was able to book free dining online by modifying. Luckily they still had standard rooms available at CBR so we didn't have to change anything- just added park hoppers. But $68/ person is nothing compared to what the free dining saves us!

Been lurking all weekend. Great news that FD came out. But freaking out cuz I booked through a TA and she doesn't come in until 9am. Have two emails into her cuz I need to change our dates. Was originally checking in 8/27.

 

[DAdams419]

If I booked originally with a TA, can I call on my own to add the FD or do I need to wait for my TA to do it?

Was going to surprise my family with a stay in the contemporary for what will be our 10th anniversary and our sons 7th birthday, but the ONLY free dining that appears to be available is for suites, which range about $4000 MORE than what I've already paid for our reservation. I'm calling to check to make sure, and only had one other option I really wanted to 'move' to, and it isn't looking promising either. I really expected no problems this year. It's disheartening knowing that I could do the same trip at Pop (which we did last year), save almost $3000 off our existing reservation AND get free dining with the upgrade. But I really wanted my theme park view room on the monorail

It is weird listening to nothing. It won't let me modify. When I click modify and add dining plan it just goes to the standard dining plans. Does not list free anywhere.

hit the package options that brings you to main page then u can pick free dining

 

[wildfortink]

I have tried firefox and chrome and still keep getting the payment error.

 

[aaarcher86]

It's only in the us for 2015, but I mentioned on a different thread of hours that you may not qualify with the discounted UK tickets.

I'm not sure if they can out a) us offers on UK bookings at all or b) put it on a booking with discounted tickets.

I don't think it would matter if you've already booked paid dining or not. I believe they only allot so many rooms to the promotion and once they're all taken, they're gone.

I suppose there is a chance they may add more in the future but I wouldn't count on it./

I totally understand! You could always consider a split stay to get Nemo for one night, and somewhere else with a discount for longer?

We have two girls, and I thought Cars would be too boyish for them, but they loved it anyway! Granted, our girls were older than 3 when we visited Cars, but I understand trying to appease a 3 year old. Our girls loved the Nemo pool, though!!

 

[Grumpyhaus]

My rep looked for Mods for FD and the only standard rates left are at CSR for all of September.. CBR had preferred and pirate rooms.. I ended up just booking CSR and will probably change it over to POR drop the free dining and go with a MYW Room only + dining alongside my AP.. I need to crunch the numbers further, so I wanted to have something locked down.

They reallllly reduced the amount of rooms on the plan this year because the rep stated they are wide open for non dining rooms still.

I have the same problem. I have my flights booked already. I have the AOA family suite booked right now and am on hold to see if by chance I might have something..... PIXIE DUST PLEASE.... I just don't want to spend the extra $1500........

I just booked a new package and it said deposit was paid but didn't give me a confirmation number or anything. What should I do?
