2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[LilMommyBug]

Well, we got FD but not where we wanted. Had to switch to the Pirate Rooms. I'm going to be calling & checking online - hopefully something at POR will open up.

 

[goldnvalli]

OK I've tried playing around with all different dates and still not seeing any standard or garden views available for FD. Can I ask what your dates are?

August 28- September 2

 

[Susan Doeberl]

At 4:10 this morning I modified my port Orleans Riverside and got it the free dining. I am so happy.

This is the error for all the ways I have tried.

I'm seeing nothing at CBR for my dates 9/28-10/4 also nothing for POR

I kept waking up every hour and checking the special offers and this board on my phone. At around 4:15 am I checked the specials and noticed that it was more than 9. I shot up so fast and got on the computer. I tried to get on the board then and it was down! Do you think this was done on purpose. I know some have mentioned that this happened last year. What time did the offer go live?

No. The disboards go down every morning at around that time.

Since the South Americans had earlier access, do you think that may be one of the reasons there are even less rooms than anticipated?

 

[disney world dreamer]

I'm curious with the requirement of 5/6 tickets yet people are booking 3 and 4 day trips. Will they just take away the fd when it's noticed or leave it?

its only a 2 day PH ticket requirement.
at least for mods.

Hang in guys for future room availability! I tried to modify my standard room at Boardwalk to open it up for someone for free DDP 11/15-11/19, Due to having to make a split stay 11/13-11/19. But looks like I'll have to endure the phone lines to change it to room only 11/13-11/15.

 

[anneboleyn]

Tried modifying my reservation around 5am and didnt manage it. Could AllStar avaibility have gone that fast??

There were no All Star rooms (besides suites at Music) when I modified my reservation at 4:05! I was shocked!

 

[Pippi201672]

OK I have an odd question for you:

I was able to add the free dining to my daughter's package via MDE and she has the exact package
that we do however when I click change under our reservation it says no special offers available
Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I did mine ok but when I went to do my sister in laws it was not available. So we ended up switching resorts. We could have waited but I wanted to make sure we got the free dining.

 

[Indecisive girl]

So weird, I have tried 3 different browsers (Edge, Explorer and Firefox) and 2 different cards. All end with the same result. The final confirmation or purchase it errors out. I have also tried 2 resorts and 2 room types.

Me too!!!!

 

[lacy1101]

Had to book a pirate room as it was the only thing available for mods in my dates... Debating just booking AsSports and upgrading dining... It would save about $1000... But I'm really nervous about the All-Stars...

Same here...ended up paying $384.24 more for the CBR pirate than our standard CSR standard room. Could have booked ASMu and upgraded and not paid anymore money, but we're four adults in one room and one of our guys is 6'4...didn't think the full size beds would cut it lol!

 

[hammie59]

I was up until 1:30, then back up at 3, then 5:45 with no luck. I dosed off and woke back up at 6:03 and saw it had dropped. Got my backup plan which is ASM preferred since ASMo isn't on there. Now I need a nap.

 

[JTandEmom]

Got it! Wasn't able to modify original reservation, change button was there but then it said no other offers available but was able to make new reservation with exact same room category and dates so not sure what's the deal with that! And I can't cancel first reservation right now, says to call. But of course now I can't get back to sleep! Long day ahead!

That's just an example. In the actual offer you'll see the requirements which are much less.

Just woke up so no POR availability?

Depends on your dates. It's only available for a short time anyway, so a lot of rooms are snagged. If you have 5 those go a heck of a lot faster. Looks like people are saying only RR are left most of the time which only hold 4.

Tried modifying my reservation around 5am and didnt manage it. Could AllStar avaibility have gone that fast??

Just depends on your dates. Try booking new.

 

[sun2shine]

Holy cow. Is anyone able to get anything at Pop? I'm trying with no avail.

I'm getting nothing too! boo!!!

 

[Pippi201672]

There were no All Star rooms (besides suites at Music) when I modified my reservation at 4:05! I was shocked!

I just cancelled a music preferred room about ten minutes ago for first week of sept.

 

[BusyP76]

I currently have a package at the Poly (standard room). These are not available during my dates for FD but there weren't any left available in that category before FD dropped either. As of now I can only see club level rooms with availability online. Is there any chance that when the phone lines open that I will be able to apply the FD to my existing room or will I have to move to club level to get the discount? (which really negates the actual discount! Lol)

Wonder if someone else from another thread hit a wall too...like the don't over commit wall?
