2016 Free Dining Watch

[X96msm]

Aaaaand we're back!

I'm getting the message

• Booking is currently unavailable. We’re working to restore availability as soon as possible. Please check back later.

Probably just giving me false hope!

Same, come on FD!!!!

I am getting the same message. I really don't think it is false hope...I think it is possible.....

Yup. I'm getting that message too.

The site is driving me crazy! I hope I'm not staying up for nothing and Disney is playing tricks with our minds because they know we are sleep deprived and paranoid....

This is the first morning that I got message that items in my cart are no longer available.

The site is driving me crazy! I hope I'm not staying up for nothing and Disney is playing tricks with our minds because they know we are sleep deprived and paranoid....

Me too! I can't stop refreshing!

 

[ehoops120912]

So I thought to kill time I would be able to possible look into a different ADR for one of my days, and the site isn't even letting me do that.....

Just so everyone knows, I'm trying to Mod/Change my package to get free dinning and this is the error message I am receiving at the moment:

To modify or cancel your reservation, please call (407) 939-1936. Guests under age 18 must have parent or guardian permission to call.

 

[ehoops120912]

Am I the only one thinking that the DVC holders will be waking up soon (in about a hour) to get on the line with Disney, and because we have no actual clarification and the site is being Goofy (Mickey really needs to straighten him out) that us GP FDers are curious that It is released today because how the site is, calls as well and the phone lines become a complete disaster?

Good morning sleep deprived folks! I see nothing yet this morning, hang in there!

 

[chewysmom]

Which phone number is everyone planning on using? I have 3 numbers written down, and they're all different from the number on the Disney website. Is there a special number for Disney visa?

Trying to get all my ducks in a row this morning.

 

[ehoops120912]

update: I have my Change Reservation button back, but when I click it I get the following message:

We're Working on It

Our systems are unavailable as they are currently undergoing maintenance. Rest assured, we'll be back soon, so please try again later

 

[Pippi201672]

Mines back now too! I really hope I can book this today

Good morning! DV cardholder here. Who else is hopeful this is going to be the morning?

 

[chewysmom]

I'm hopeful. I'm ready to get this over with! Tired of stressing over it. No FD means no trip, and my dd requested a Disney trip for her 16th bday. I've taught her well.

 

[Disneylover99]

Good morning! DV cardholder here. Who else is hopeful this is going to be the morning?

Not me. I have no card.

 

[ehoops120912]

I have no doubt in my mind that DVC card holders will be able to book....but right now I'm not sure if today will just go straight to GP.

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

Good morning! DV cardholder here. Who else is hopeful this is going to be the morning?

Me! Me! Me! They better do it soon too.....I don't have much time before my little "beasts" wake up and start demanding breakfast! Lol

I just got off the phone with my agent and she made it sound like she thought, based on what she heard, that it would be Disney Visa or nothing til Monday.
She also said there are lots of possible dates floating around but didn't give me any clues as to other possibilities.

did you book with a TA?

Long time lurking, first time posting here.

Thanks everyone for all of the great info! Currently planning a surprise trip for
Wife, G(8), B(14 mo.) for Dec. '16. Impatiently waiting for FD like everyone else. Got my DV in the mail a few weeks ago so hopefully that will help my chances.

Wife has no idea I'm doing this. Our last vacation was about 3 years ago to WDW for a week with our then-5y.o. daughter and we had a blast! Wife has been dropping subtleties that we are due for another vacation soon. I figure she has given me a healthy baby boy since then so she's definitely earned it. I'm going to wait and surprise her and the kids about 2 weeks before we leave.

***question to any/all wives and moms out there***:
Would you appreciate being surprised only 2-weeks before a vacation? Or would it be more of a stress-inducing situation? She is self employed and getting time off from work is not an issue for her. I am secretly handling everything from calling her clients and rescheduling them for before or after we are away, got the DV without telling her because I don't want to raise suspicions, booking and planning resort, 180 day ADR, 60 day fast pass, packing lists, dog sitter, etc.

Thanks for reading.
