2016 Free Dining Watch

[Disneylover99]

I agree with you again lol I feel if you're looking any type of possible quiet, you definitely SHOULDN'T get a preferred room at Pop lol

Last night I was ready to book a moderate. This morning I'm pining away for Pop.
Booking is going to be a crapshoot for me. I have no clue what I'm going to do.
I might even end up Club Level at the GF.

That's what I was thinking, although I would love it to be the 11th.

I think it's a typo. The only difference is the start date of the November dates. Logically I think the 15th is more reasonable seeing as that's when F&W ends.

I just saw this post on the site, and asked in the comments if he had this information, or if it was a typo. Will let everyone know if he responds!

I asked last night as well! Ad better answer quick and mess with all of us waiting for free dining! We are too vulnerable right now! Lol! Seriously though, I do hope he is right!

I definitely won't end up at a deluxe, let alone CL lol

Pop feels like home to us. So it's hard to stay anywhere else. But financially it makes more sense to go with a mod if we can get free dining.

I heard that unless you are staying at a deluxe hotel, that the quick service dining plan will only be offered. I hope that's not the case

I heard this from a friend whose dh is a travel agent. He said that's what he heard.

My problem is that I want a preferred at a moderate. When I price it out, it's going to cost an additional $75 per night even after we pay the difference to upgrade our dining plan. It does cost a lot more to go from standard to preferred at moderates compared to values.

True. And at the moderates, with them being so big/spread out, a standard room = lots of walking. So preferred is definitely the way to go, but it just costs so much more!!

It's my biggest dilemma.

I feel like people are thinking that based on the UK offer... But the UK offer was like that in 2015 too and the US offer still included regular dining at mods.

True. I certainly hope so!

Ok so I have seen people respond with "perDAY" when others ask the cost to upgrade dining at value resorts. Just so I am doing the math right wouldn't it perNIGHT, because if I am doing an 8night/9day I only get 8nights worth of credits..

Yes, I believe 8 nights would be correct.

Ok thank you! Because to 4adults that extra day makes a difference in the math. I am trying to get prepared for this, but I feel like I am adding on my anxiety levels.

Yes sorry, it is per night.

Okay we have decided that if we can't get CBR or POR then we will try for 2 rooms at POP. What is the best way to figure out what 2 rooms at POP for me, DH, DD17, DD16 and DD12 for 9/2-9/11 with upgraded dining will cost? Do I just figure a room with 1 person then the other room with the rest or what? I hope I am making sense, just trying to get an idea of what it would cost.

I would go online and price out one room at pop for just you, DH and your DD12. Room and tickets only. Then do $19.05(upgrade fee) x 3 guests = $57.15 per night x number of nights. Then add that to the room/ticket price. Do the same thing for the second room but do the math by 2 guests.

I'm no expert, but I believe that you need to list the rooms with one adult in each room, meaning over 18. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will correct me if I'm incorrect.

SunnieRN is correct, when you actually book you will need to have your name on one room and DH on the other, but for pricing purposes your entire group is considered adults so the room configuration won't really matter just to figure it out.

This is how the UK free dining offers are, so maybe someone heard that and got confused

We are on a BB for Sept 25 To Oct 7. One person said it costs them about $100 to upgrade their tickets to AP. Is the discount for renewals that much, or am I missing something? 10 day passes are $400 and AP's are $749, how can it be $100, instead of $349 per person? At $100-$150 I would love to get annual passes but at $349, its almost the same cost as two 10 days passes
