2015 FREE DINING THREAD _ All Questions HERE!!

[ckret01]

I have also been waiting with dead air on the phone. Can't make a modification online. Keep checking just to see if what I want is available online and it's not anymore, but was 20 minutes ago

Oops. Ignore.

I did get it to work by changing to my old Windows laptop, Google Chrome browser. It was glitchy with the Chromebook.

I hope something works for you! Good luck!

Thank you! Glad you got it to work for you! I ended up having to call. I only waited 20 minutes. The CM said no rooms were available for my party size at CBR, but I told her there was availability when I was online and it let me add everything, but kept getting an error with payment method and there was a glitch in their system. I even took a screen shot of my screen to prove it. She got her manager and thankfully I got free dining at CBR for the dates I wanted.

Good for you! I can't find a moderate to book. Oh well. lol Except for the pirate room and I'm not doing that.

awww, so sorry. how about a value?

However I could switch to sports (the only resort we don't want to stay in) and knock $400 off of the price. I hate to say it, but I don't think my planning is done.

We ended up going with Sports. We wanted to do what you did at Pop but it ended being so much more expensive that it felt like "what's the point of free dining then?" I'm not thrilled about Sports but it was $400 cheaper which is significant to us. We won't be in the room much anyway. Plus, if we want to fulfill our goal of staying at every Disney resort (HA!) I guess we'll have to stay at Sports sometime or another, haha!

My friend has been on hold for almost 2 hours and in silence lol She's like its a Disney nightmare

I can't modify online, the TA line is down, I can't even get packages to show on the Disney Website, it basically tells me that everything is gone.
How is everyone still booking?!

Does anyone think there might be a small chance that they might add a few more rooms at the various resorts that have limited or no bookings left, in a day or two? With only Pirate rooms at CBR, no availability at Pop Century, and having to book 6 nights /7 days instead of the 4 nights /5 days that we originally planned ,makes this offer not very appealing to us. I am maybe willing to add nights and rethink my vacation, but would like some sort of resort preference. Looks like we may postpone Disney until 2016.
Happy for those that this works for though.

The minimum stay for Fall 2015 FD is 3 nights.

Last year we did FD at WL in November. We snagged our room right after the offer became available, but WL availability for the offer quickly became nil. Weeks later there was again WL availability for some room types our dates. I don't know if that later availability came from Disney adding more rooms to the pool or due to people changing or canceling reservations which freed up some rooms.

So: it is possible there may be availability later on when there isn't now.

I already had an existing reservation at pop century for Sept 12-19( booked two rooms) but because the other family traveling with us are on a budget we ended up switching to all-star sport's resort which saved us 70$ per reservation. Once I added on the water park we only ended up paying 165$ more at sports. It would have been 250$ at pop century. I was able to do this on mde at 5:30am and thank god it only took about 15min to do. There seemed to be enough availability at pop, all star music and sports.

My TA had to upgrade me to a pool view room at beach club to get the free dining. Plus park hopper which we don't need. Grrr. Won't save me anything at the end of the day.And that's a sept 12-19th reservation.

I believe travel agents may have a different 'system' through Disney? We booked through a travel agent about 25 minutes ago for the special, December 15-23rd at Pop Century

 

[stitchfan75]

I have a question...are people seriously booking packages just "in case" they want to take a trip? Because if so...knock that sh** off!! If you have no traveling agenda don't eat up phone time and bandwidth just to cancel in two weeks when you decide you can't go.

 

[Sasha3855]

I went ahead and booked a new reservation and got the free dining. Now here's hoping my travel agent can modify my plans when she gets in.

 

[disneyfanUSA]

I'm at 1:24 right now. Feeling kind of queezey.

I'm feeling very queezey!! I'm at 1:48 - got in the queue at 7:08. Has anyone had them pick up the phone lately? - I have to leave for work at 9:30. This is nuts!!!

 

[Rivermonster]

Anyone else had complete silence from the beginning? I never was prompted to enter any info. Have I waited an hour and ten minutes stupidly...ugh

 

[stitchfan75]

But how? How are they booking anything if the system is down?

 

[amberlina29307]

my MDE is still blank, says it cant connect with reservations...OH NO

 

[CanadianDIStraveller]

Good morning! Quick question that I hope someone can answer.

Our travel dates are Aug 23 - Aug 29. We're coming from Canada. Though, not advertised that much, last year the free dining promotion was released earlier for Canadian travellers. Is this the case this year?

Thanks !!!!
Hope everything works out for everyone's travel plans!!

Did anyone see a standard room available at POP for the beginning of October?

I just checked and so far they still have standard rooms available for 10/2
