2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[AmberM1991]

I just called and got through and booked. There is still hope. Keep trying

Disney Visa offer showed up in email at 8:09 am. Not much to choose from, as far as room types and moderate resorts.

 

[Elliemay2]

My TA was able to upgrade our 2 rooms for 5 people each at CBR to FD by calling in after the phones opened!

Now let the planning begin!!!

If you read the offer details on the wdw site, neither are mentioned in the exclusions at the bottom

Yeah, but it's also not included in the drop down for moderates and POR shows the limited dates.

 

[aaarcher86]

Not sure why I haven't received the email yet? Are the offers you see strictly for that August 14 range? Or are you looking for a different time and are just noticing improved inventory?

A lot of people don't get them for whatever reason.

Inventory will vary for all dates.

Just got the email!!

I just got my Disney Visa email too!

Thank you! Looking around now!

I'm trying to help my in-laws with their reservation. FIL is in a wheelchair and can't walk/drive. They are wanting to go to Universal one day but are wondering if there is a bus that will take them there from CBR.

Also, he is retired military and will be calling at some point today to find out the price for the discount. Do they get their choice of resort or do they have to stay at Shades of Green? If the free dining is a better discount for them, they will just stay at CBR.

Disney doesn't provide transport to Universal. You can book a Mears shuttle, taxi, rent a car, or Uber.

There are military discounts at the Disney resorts.

ADRs are independent of Resort bookings.

With the visa discount it may be cheaper to go from AoA to AKL

I've been on hold for two hours

 

[daisyduck73]

finally got in and am on hold. Are wait times really running 2.5 hours, or is a CM picking up sooner than that?

 

[Kingdome8]

I've been on hold for two hours

Yup me too. Ugh

Here's the email I just received from Visa View attachment 164495

I'm still confused why they emailed this to us today at the same time as the general public is released. What is the benefit of having a Disney Visa anymore if we can't book earlier than the public?

 

[deakam]

Am I the only one disappointed with the RO offerings---only thing available is club level. As sad as this is the stupid lousy wedding discount appears to be the best deal. At 15% off a standard room. The Wilderness is in the middle of renovations and construction and they have no rooms available the middle of October. Neither does the Contemporary or the Poly. My daughter may be doing her first look on the bridge between the POP and AoA. Well I booked nothing. Good luck everyone else.

40 minutes for me so far...at least I finally got through...

 

[AmberM1991]

I've been on hold for two hours

I tried 2 different numbers and just got through. Crazy.

Just a shout out to all of you fellow Disney fanatics - Thank you for all the posts! I have been quietly reading almost everything and this morning I scored free dining without having to change my room choice! It took less than 5 minutes to change my reservation online!!! Woo hoo!!! Now I just need to hope that 127 days goes by really fast!

 

[margievis]

I tried 2 different numbers and just got through. Crazy.

I was trying 3 numbers-and it took me an hour and a half to get through to hold music.

I was able to change mine online this morning at 4am. But I too am have the same issue as othes have stated. We switched from AKL to CBR and MDE still shows AKL. Since I did get the confirmation email and the price difference is reflected, I will give it a day or two to see if it updates before I call. Good luck to all that are still trying for your dates
