2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[TigerlilyAJ]

So it is 3 day for value resorts and 2 days for mod and deluxe on the park tickets?

That was what the Air Canada travel site had yesterday. But they have since removed all mention of free dining and of a room-only discount.
1) Could be a typo.
2) Could be only for people booking with AC.
3) Could change.
So, it was interesting to see, but until Monday, it's just more rumor fodder to be confirmed or denied.

So if I go online now, and pick POR for 7 nights 10/1 - 10/8 with 4 day tickets and park hoppers, will it be the same cost on 4/25 when fd is released? Just the dining would be added in free is this right?

Not sure how many in your party or if it will be the same for gp offer but when I booked bb last year the only rooms available at POR for end of Sept thru first part of Oct were Royal rooms.

I am so confused. I have been following this (and the last) thread for weeks and as fd promo gets closer I am more confused. We are planning on going Aug. 28-Sept 2 and staying at BC we only wanted 2 day parks and no ph with the dp. The cost is $4000 for the package including the ph. Now I just read that in order to qualify for fd we have to add another day at the parks. So with the ph and another day at the park we are talking an additional $500 for fd, and thats to say that there is fd available for bc standard room. I am thinking that 30% off the room would be a better deal for us. All these additions seem like fd just doesn't pay.

wait. its a min of 3 day PH? last year it was a min of 2 day PH

Just sitting here consolidating my disney gift card so I will be good to go on Monday. Can't sleep. Getting too excited.

I keep reading different things about the length of days you must purchase on you tickets with the PH or water parks. Do you think it will be 2 days or 3?

I've only seen 2 days, but with an add-on requirement.

never mind i just read a littler more and see that someone says air canada said 2 day min for mod so if thats the case i'm good to go.

I would love to do that too. I target.com would get more back in stock so I had enough to
Make it worthwhile. Grrrrr.

Thank you black562. I was getting scared because I only book 2 days with park hopper. I am going to up grade them to either a FL resident 4 day and park hopper or a FL silver annual pass.

I went to buy more yesterday at target.com and they were out. I want to get that done and out of the way. Love saving that 5%. Can't wait until Monday morning. FD here I come!

 

[Amanda S.]

Apparently there is another Disney target shopper at my store too. Went 2 weeks ago and there was plenty on the "gift card tower". Went this week and only 2 left!
I found a secret stash on an end cap though.... mahaha.

Hey black562 thanks for all your help! What's your thoughts on POR RR being available for FD in November?

 

[Susan Doeberl]

Well everyone I am going to try and get some sleep tonight. You all have a wonderful night.

 

[black562]

Hey black562 thanks for all your help! What's your thoughts on POR RR being available for FD in November?

Looking like it's available up until October 1, though availability may be quite low. If it does go ahead and open up for the rest of the dates, I think rooms will be so limited, it isn't even funny.

 

[hdh23]

I'm going crazy at this point... I've done so much research and figured things out so many times... now my brain is fried and I don't even know answers to what I've known before! So, I'm just making sure... IF the dates are Nov.15-21 and I'm booked Nov. 10th-19th that's a no go because I'm going before the start date right? But if we got there the 15th we would be good.

It is nearing 2am est and I am not sure why I'm still up when I plan to basically pull an all nighter Sunday into Monday before going to work Monday.

Do you know if the room only discounts will be released on Monday as well? I know they typically are offered around the same time as free dining.

They should be, yes.

 

[goldnvalli]

Sounds like in your case, room discount would be better. How many people?

4 people. 2 adults, 1 child that is considered adult and 1 child.

 

[Liv4Dis]

I couldn't believe how many pages were here since I last checked this morning. I finally just got caught up AGAIN

It's time for bed as it is almost 3:30am but probably good practice for tomorrow night.
Thanks to everyone for all the information and especially to black 562

does anyone know if yu can use your disney reward dollars to help pay for your package from home? I know yuo can use them to pay fat check in for a room only. but the package balance is due 45 days prior.

(we have the Bounceback free dining)
