2016 Free Dining Watch

[Kingdome8]

I think the days of POFQ being included are long gone. The same with the Little Mermaid rooms. These are booked irregardless so really no need. Based on prior offer POR should be included for September but I guess we will have to wait and see.

So u didn't hear from "friends" or credible source the same dates that Pete Werner did? Just curious. Hoping those dates are wrong. Need October 22

I hope they are wrong too. I need anything but those dates Pete said. Lol

Thanks Steve! So glad you're on this board. Now, I know you can't reveal all the things you know. But, should I plan on sleeping tonight or not?

 

[O-so-good Disney Mama]

I was wondering the same thing

 

[chewysmom]

Me three.

 

[dznygrl70]

Me 4! If we get free dining we will be able to buy tickets to the Christmas party. Otherwise, no party. But that's ok too. As long as I am at Disney!

I personally have no information on what dates might be included.

The August dates are perfect for us! We are booked at CBR from 8/26-9/2. I'd love to move it up to 8/23...

Thank you Steve. Information from folks like you and others on different forums that are committed to sharing information and answering questions make things so much easier for the rest of us and is very much appreciated.

And btw another Thanksgiving traveler here - been doing it for years now and love it! Happy Holidays.

Well...

I really appreciate the kind words and even those who are taking up for me.

I'll be glad to give you some info about me. We have been going to WDW forever. We are AP holders and this year will visit WDW some six different times, in just about every season. In the past, we have taken advantage of free dining promotions and just like you followed forums just like this one to find out about the release. Now, it's one of my favorite topics to discuss. And yes, my family will be making a reservation this year as in years past. My favorite time to visit is Thanksgiving!!!

I do have "friends" that occasionally get wind of incredible information. They let me know so that my family is prepared and in turn, I post some of the things I hear on these forums. Now, not all my info comes from "friends" but it's normally where it starts! Some of it is digging up parts and pieces of additional info from the web, emails of promotions, etc.

Hope that helps. Like I've said before, I'm not going to tease but will hold my info until I know it's the real deal.

So just a question if you have booked and put park hopper on to be safe for free dining in case it is offered, but it is not a requirement how easy will it be to drop the park hopper?

If you cannot do it on the site, which you should be able to you can always call and drop this.

I'm less concerned about the dates included in this offer at the moment. Last year, the dates bobbled some between the last solid rumor and the actual offer when it dropped. So, a lot can change in a very short amount of time. Now, about Pete's dates. If this was loaded in, being readied to post, I seriously doubt they would put actual dates, especially if it's still a couple of weeks away from release. A LOT can happen in a week in regards to reservations.

Not to mention, Disney knows this info will get leaked. There have been diversions before...

Awesome. I agree. Probably going to be different dates.

So are we saying not tonight? I'm trying to read between the lines but I'm new to the board, so I might have this wrong.

Just curious, are you of the belief that having rooms booked will potentially lessen any potential offer?

I know that it will.

Thank-you so much for all of your help and advice on this thread! As a mother who has to get 2 little ones to the bus stop for school each morning and a toddler to chase all day I greatly appreciate any hints on what night I have to stay up. You could just keep this information for yourself but graciously share it with us! Thanks again!

 

[Confederate Scott]

I know that it will.

Thanks. I tend to agree that it would impact what is offered. If it appears that the rooms are booked at rack rate why make any offers?

Probably cause a few rooms are fully paid.
