2016 Free Dining Watch

[Lucas103]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but way back when someone posted the "mystery free dining link" that led to an error page, didn't the link description on google say something about "6 night/7day" something or other??

I googled that free dining link and this is what popped up:

Interesting. In the past its been less correct? Might be another hoop to jump through...

I believe it always says six days, seven nights (as an example), but minimum is typically three nights.

I wonder if a park hopper or waterpark ticket is one of the requirements again.

I bet it is.

I think the question is, will you have to add both.

Yes it did

Just my opinion, but I think they will continue to increase requirements, and blackout dates until FD is no longer a good deal. Then, they can do away with it "due to loss in consumer interest".

Does anyone know how many days notice we will get before it goes live?

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

I'm wondering; if those dates are correct with October not being included, could that be why they're taking so long to release MNSSHP tickets? To see how people react booking wise?

If you're trying to figure out the dates of MNSSHP you can look at the calendar and if the MK closes at 7pm that's most liked a party night.

Last year, an add popped up before the promotion went live (just like this year again) and it said 6 night/7 day vacation. It also said that on the main site but the only requirement was the 3 night/2 day park hoppers.

If the disney cruise lines for 2017 are opening tomorrow, there is no way free dining will be the same day. With all the online bookings, the servers would crash and then the phone lines would go insane shortly after. Earliest will be next Monday. I also remember seeing something not long ago about free dining being released on the 21st which is a Thursday.

We didn't get any notice from Disney. It was all pretty much a concrete rumor from here on Dis that we knew it was getting released.

This is our list if we can't get a standard at CBR..
1. Any standard room at any moderate resort
2. Any preferred or water view room at any moderate resort
3. Standard room at a value paying to upgrade dining (preferably Pop)
4. Preferred room at a value paying to upgrade dining (Preferably Pop)

Your list is like mine except we threw in WL as a back up plan because of the construction a standard room there is not much more than a preferred at CBR.

It was on Facebook and from what I could tell, it was from a TA

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

On a Saturday?? Wouldnt that be pretty unusual for a promo to drop on the weekend?

That's what I was thinking too....may 23rd is a Monday though but that seems really late

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

I thought it said that too.

It always says that to try to get you to stay longer but if you read the fine print it's usually a 3 day minimum

We are booked at POFQ, but if FD isn't offered there, is CBR our next best choice? I thought about upgrading to Saratoga Springs because with 30% off the rack rate there (if offered), we'd save about $1260, so we'd basically get our FD money back in the form of an upgrade, but I'm really thinking about saving that $1200 and just booking at CBR. A few pros and cons of CBR? Is this ok on this thread? I'm new here in case it's not obvious, haha.
