Is that at any Target, or a members special or..."

With a Target Red card---credit or Debit.

You all are right I have searched so many date/ resort combos and not one standard room to be had.....

Here is what I was just told, Free Dining will drop on Tuesday the 24th. I may have more info tomorrow on what the offer will be. If I get that info I will be sure to pass it on here late tomorrow afternoon.

For those who don't remember me from last year I came here and gave the FD info I had and it was all spot on. Kimbean can vouch for that. If I were you I would check tomorrow morning just in case my info is wrong, but at the moment I'm pretty confident it drops on Tuesday.

Hey @Disney Ron glad to see you checking in!!! I remember your helpful info as well.

Thanks as always!!!


I had a BB booked for this year but the dates ended up not working and we had to cancel, we do have another package booked for Christmas not FD though, so the hunt is on for a FD package if I can get something we’d like for another September trip!!!

My standard room is gone at POP for first part of September.
Just driving the prices up?

Certainly looks like it!!! I know it's not a massive amount of money, but when they already are tacking on park hoppers and reduced benefits this just makes me annoyed. We've never been to Disney, and maybe we won't go!

My dates for POR 8/31-9/8 still have standards open

 

[McKelly]

My dates for POR 8/31-9/8 still have standards open

Do you think that's because POR is rumored to not be included?

 

[deakam]

My dates for POR 8/31-9/8 still have standards open

Could they be pulling the Standards in order to keep them aside for the drop---and POR is not included?

I noticed on the WDE website that the room prices went up over the weekend. I'm assuming they do that right before free dining/room discounts come out?

Prices for my dates/resort did not go up.

 

[rockinrhonda]

My prices didn't go up but there isn't any standard rooms available. Where there has been all weekend.

 

[VillainFavs]

Looking at CSR in August -- Price is still the same and standard rooms are available.

ETA: Also looked at Music because that was the other one we were considering. Standard rooms available and still the same price.

I bet that is the reason

 

[Nancyg56]

We had a family meeting today so I have plan A plan B and plan C in place. My head hurts!

 

[catlady7]

Does anyone think that if you have a Disney visa their will be earlier dates for the free dining?

 

[deakam]

Was on all day checking different dates and rates and now Stitch has eaten it All!!!!

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

I guarantee Tuesday morning there will hardly be any standard rooms to book, Disney assumes you’re happy you got free dining at a slightly more expensive room and won’t change your booking. This happens to me every year and every year I check multiple times a day and new rooms, including stanadards always seem to appear a few days later!

 

[Nancyg56]

More likely a different inventory.

Dirty steve has been lurking this thread for the past 20 minutes but hes not posting..i dont think thats a good sign

 

[GenGen22]

I agree - I've been looking almost every day at POP Standard rooms for Labor Day week since January. They've always had availability except for this morning. Hmmm....

I also checked POP for the two dates we would go and no standard rooms available. Only preferred rooms available. I hope preferred are included as that's what we want.

 

[Emmasmommy1011]

Just checked and CBR has Standard but the Pool/water view and preferred are gone LOL
