2016 Free Dining Watch

[Lumina Lux]

Are the US dates usually the same as Canada/Brazil?

Usually, no.
But they tend to be close to each other.

It will be interesting to see if the rumoured dates end up being the final dates. I kinda remember last year, or the year before there was a rumoured set of dates, and then when the final days were released there was an additional set of days included.

I have a BB offer for Sept already booked but was planning on changing it to do FD in Oct. Will be kinda bummed if the end of October doesn't end up being included for FD since I wanted to do Halloween and MVMCP because the first party falls on my birthday.

The UK 2017 Free Dining offer is scheduled to drop on 4/21...

I would be surprised if they did the US offer on the same day.

off topic comment sorry does anyone have first hand experience with busing at CBR vs. Allstars? I have been at All Stars Movies twice and think the buses are really very quick and short lines typically. I'm concerned there will be a longer wait for CBR due to it's size and occupancy.

The page says based on last years offer:

• Value Resort Guests – Free Breakfast
• Moderate Resort Guests – Free Quick Service Plan
• Deluxe & Deluxe Villa Guests – Free Disney Dining Plan

Is that what the offered as free dining for UK last year?

The amount of teasing and trolling in this thread recently has been amazing.

This says 2017 free dining will be released 4/21/16... That doesn't make sense to me if fall free dining hasn't been released yet.

The buses at CBR were very quick for us. It always took less than 10 minutes to pick up everyone around the resort-most of the time, it was less than that. Waits for a bus averaged around 15 minutes..never more than that. We were really happy with the transportation there!

Disney is run by shrewd business people! If it ain't broke, don't fix it is probably familiar territory when it comes down to it. Steve I agree with you. Don't give them a reason not to make the offer.

Thank you for the updates!! It makes the process a little less stressful!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving at Disneyworld!!

That is for the UK, their promo comes out a year in advance

My recollection was that was what they offered last year.

Also, yes last year the UK 2016 offer came out shortly before the US Fall 2015 offer.

Oh ok sorry I didn't realize that they were a year in advance. I thought it was maybe like the Canada or Brazil offers and came out the same year but just before the US. Thanks!

I am the opposite. We had stayed at POP and AoA before CBR and found the buses at CBR to be awful in comparison. We spent more time circling the resort and picking up people than on the actual road to a park. It's one of the reasons I am not confident about booking a moderate this time round.

Still nothing.. Hoping it's Monday so I can stop setting my alarm so early lol

Me too! I hardly slept last night...but I feel the excitement building! My husband wants it to happen so we can stop talking about it so much I think

 

[Sharongal74]

I agree! Woke up at 5 and my first thought was I should check to make sure it didn't drop!

Hopefully a quick question-what was the FD offer from last fall? I have read comments indicating that it varied from value to moderate to deluxe etc. We are currently planning to stay at a value resort-All Star Sports.

 

[Fryan08]

I know we have rumors on dates for FD (and yeah so far mine are in those ranges!!), but do we hear any rumbles about which resorts are included, excludedd yet?? Just curious!! I am so excited!!

2015 Free Dining required a 3-night stay, with the requirement that you add either Park Hopper or Water Parks & More to your tickets.

Value resorts received the Quick Service Dining Plan (2 QS meals + 1 snack per night of stay).
Moderate and Deluxe resorts received the Disney Dining Plan (1 TS meal + 1 QS meal + 1 snack per night of stay).

Wow, you guys are losing sleep over this? I guess I should be grateful that it's likely to come online during my day time!

Typically the availability is limited and offers like free dining can save people a lot of money so I cannot say I blame them.
