Another great Podcast is in the books and I think its outstanding what Pete said about how Disney's systems are crappy each time they have a promo especially as big as the Free Dining. Personally, I don't need the Free Dining but there were other things I needed to use their website for and couldn't do a thing. Even simply searching to modify my Dining reservations was a chore and I know it has to do with the Free Dining promo. I even tried to contact a Cast Member for assistance, I went through the same deal, long waits, multiple disconnects and I'm not even trying to use the promo. Pete's "rant" isn't really a rant me, its just good old fashion bluntness from someone who has a substantial following. Honestly, I feel that the only way we can make Disney change their tactic is through not paying for or making the sacrifices for these promos.
To have ANY business change their policies, is through our wallets, plain and simple. I hope that whenever they offer the Free Dining, not many people capitalize on it that way Disney will say "Ok, we get it, we'll change our systems immediately" and get the job done. Of course, that's just wishful thinking on my part but my fingers will be crossed. LOL. Yeah, saving money is always a great thing but what good does it do you when you can't even add the promo or call someone to get the promo or even worse, find out that you don't qualify for the promo? There's many different ways to save money on Dining, there's a lot of websites, forums and blogs that give tips and advice.
That posting Pete read where the poster said its like a lottery, it most definitely is, not only with these promos but with Dining Reservations too. Even if you log into your MDE account at 6am on the nose, you STILL can't get a reservation at Be Our Guest. And if you manage to find one, its for the most part when you're at the right place at the right time, no different than a lottery. And when you get that BOG reservation, what's the feeling you get??? You start jumping for joy like you just won Powerball. I know this because I felt that way just a few days ago. LOL. I sincerely hope Disney reads these boards and others and get their act together with their website and systems. Because point blank, we the customers deserve better and need better.
