2016 Free Dining Watch

[Amanda S.]

I'm gluten free (celiac) and my favorite meal last year was the Columbia Harbor House's GF chicken tenders. I kept saying OMG THESE ARE SO GOOD. To the point my DH said "Jeez, why don't you marry them?!"

What's everyone's favorite QS spots? Last year, we basically just kept going to the same places and i feel as though i gotta branch out this year!

WPE at Disney Springs
BOG
Yak n Yeti

Anyone know where I can find information if any event or convention is happening during our dates?

Sports/cheer/dance events you can check on www.espnwwos.com took out the other link as it hasn't been updated in awhile so is no longer accurate.

Just curious...anyone else noticing that the WDW website is showing absolutely ZERO availability at ANY resort, October 26-30? Seems like a glitch to me, I would be absolutely shocked if every single room were sold out. When I click a resort, it either shows me every room category as unavailable, or the page with the list of resorts just refreshes itself.

When I search these dates with all resorts plenty come up. My guess is the site is being glitchy. Too many people on it, gearing up for free dining.

Same thing for my dates - Nov 18-23. I think we've already broken the system and Free Dining hasn't even been released yet!

CB showed standard and preferred, all the values showed up but when I tried to click them, they disappeared. Its being very glitchy.

Every time I refresh, I get a different result! Disney, you're killing me here!

Two days ago, every room was booked at POR for my dates, after every room had been available an hour before. Yesterday, every room was available again. It's probably a glitch. Try not to worry.

The site is working for me now, but one of my scenarios has gone up in price, but only by about $20. ??? I'm checking other scenarios now and comparing to my spreadsheet I already had ready to go.

Yes! I was going to ask the same thing! I'm looking 8/27-9/1 and everytime I get different availability! This morning lots more was available-there's no way it sold out in a few hours! Must be a glitch!

The website was glitching for me this morning as well. It was showing no availability whatsoever for any room level at any resort for the dates I input. Later in the afternoon, the availability was wide open.

So far it's just one of my scenarios...the rest seem to be the same... weird. I wonder if it actually changed or if I made a mistake when I typed it.

I'm going to choose to believe that all the glitching is coming from them updating the site to get it ready for free dining. DON'T TELL ME OTHERWISE.

I really do think that is the case.

South Americans are starting to chatter. August 14-22 is said to be South American agency dates, while remaining dates are still as rumored.

To quote a bit of broken english:
"Free meals: Travel agencies will have additional period from 14/8 to 22/8. Remaining dates coincide with rumor posted days ago."

Any chatter about Canadians?

Just wondering what you mean by South American Agency dates? I work for an agency based out of FL. Does that mean I can book my clients Free dining starting 8/14-22?

I doubt there will be anything for Canadians, that's just my thought. Looking at the last special we were offered, it was a discount if you stayed OFF property. Stay NEAR the world. It was an odd offer. Again, jmo.

Just quoting what I'm seeing. This is a solid source of past information. I'm guessing he means those dates could be booked at his agency in South America.
