2016 Free Dining Watch

[Just Love Disney]

I was getting them all the time then after February 2013 I have not gotten a single one. But my sister started getting them in 2013 and we vacation together so got it covered.

I haven't gotten one since 2013 either. I wonder what's up with that?! I just signed my husband up the other day in hopes of starting to receive them again...

I've looked at that but it says adding the dining plan is not an option? It's room and tickets only?

Other deals can have a dining plan. I googled agency exclusive Disney vacation deals

What Resort? or were there no Standards at any resorts to choice from?

When we booked our bb last August there were standard rooms available at CBR and CSR but not POR. All room categories at POR were available except standard.

Correct. With that particular Labor Day deal, you cannot add the DDP.

Thank you, I cant not wait it has been too long since our last trip and its nice to hear that the crowds and weather wont be too bad after that first weekend.

Probably my absolute favorite time to be at Disney. Give consideration to attending the Candlelight Processional in Epcot. If you decide to I'd suggest getting the dinner package with it.

Yes, they have all the control of your package. I'm a control freak and can not sit back and let someone else do everything for my Vacation. I like to make my own dining Ressies and anything else.

I completely agree with you on having control of my vacation. The only way I could see using a TA would be with an unbeatable deal.

When booking with a TA, what exactly do you lose control over? We want to be able to book all our own ADR's; it's something we look forward to doing together.

Do the TA's have access to your MDE or is that still your own private account?

If there was a pin or a unique code offer for free dining, would it come out the day free dining is announced?

In 2013, our UOC (PIN) came out in August and we traveled in late October.

 

[Confederate Scott]

How do you see how many rooms have been booked in a certain time frame? are you a TA and have access to something that shows this information?

You can see this on Disney's site if you search all resorts.

I noticed that as well. For those that asked yes it was a room discount I got

Was it the room discount of 30% Deluxe 20% Mod and I think 15% Value?

I think I have lost my mind---My daughter is getting married at EPCOT on the 12 of Oct---we have an 8 night trip planned around the wedding. I am seriously considering adding enough days to start on the 1st just so I can get free dining!!!!! I need to get off this page!!!lol--Maybe the Disney God's will smile upon me and some mid October dates will pop up.

Is everyone still sane in here?

Or you could just ask your daughter to change her wedding date. No biggie. Right???

Nope. Deakam's lost her mind.

I am sure if you provided some good news anyone who may have lost their sanity would regain it quickly.....

May 2013 the day FD for September - early October dropped, PINS came out for Fall FD; my sister got one that we used for POFQ.

Barely....Anything new?

I booked a trip for my sisters family and mine in May 2013, and have never gotten another one. My sister does not have an MDE account and gets the UOCS, she does have a Disneystore.com account. Her DH got 2 PINS in the mail in 2013 and has no Disney account, he doesn't even LIKE Disney, but does have an ESPN account. one of the major mysteries of our time "what criteria does Disney use for issuing UOC?"
