2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

Well I think it’s time to hit 88 mph and see what 4-23-18 has in store for us.......

@pixie_mtl didn’t you have a count down ticker for us last year or was that @KimBean? Just saying maybe we should have one for this year!!!

So if I go into my reservations and click on modify the free dining will show up automatically there if it becomes available? I already have the dining booked, so will it still show up?

No, after you click modify, you have to rebook the package with the offer.

I try to sleep on the couch the night free dining drops. Every time my newf wakes me up checking on me, wondering why mom is on the couch, I check if free dining has dropped. If anyone knows about Newfoundland’s, I am checking a lot!

Wow, nice! Wish I had a newf!

But it won't show the offer? Sorry, just not sure how this works and have to leave around 5:50 am for work, so don't have much time to get it done.

I think it'll then show you your rooms again to select, and you need to look to see if there are any under the free dining deal. If there are, then you click on that and click through each section to finish rebooking.

My game plan for Monday is getting up at 5am CST. That’ll make it 6 Disney time. Do you think that’s early enough or should I do 4am my time?

No, 5 a.m. is not good enough. You probably need 3a.m. I'm MST and I have to do 2 a.m., so I just plan to stay up all night. I can't sleep when there is so much excitement anyway.

 

[WalkDisneyWorld]

if you really want FD I would begin looking earlier. In 2016 the offer dropped at 4:00 am Florida time and in 2017 it was 5:30am

I agree! Earlier is better since the drop time varies each time.

 

[WalkDisneyWorld]

I may not be able too see my computer screen that early!

Don’t worry! The adrenaline will kick in as soon as you discover that the offer is live! You’ll immediately go into high gear!

Passing time........what is your favorite restaurant?



Mine is just about any I use a Free Dining credit at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Malificient Tater]

I already decided today I am just not going to bed tomorrow night. I am in the central time zone. And I can sleep eventually. Plus I am going to be too excited.

Apologies if I missed this but has there been much chatter about availability? I have a TA and am booked at BC for 8/23-8/27. I suspect I’m more apt to qualify for a RO discount, if anything.

Anyone have past experience getting that at BC? I have a 10% discount now but would love something wetter if I could, of course.

Lots of favourites! Biergarten, Liberty Tree Tavern, Raglan Road, Via Napoli to name a few.

Really love lots of counter services too.....Satuli Canteen, The Polite Pig, Blaze Pizza, BOG, and I finally ate at the counter service in China last time (can't remember the name), it doesn't generally get good reviews but I loved that too!

Good idea! It's hard to choose. I really liked Brown Derby. Good, drinks, service... it was a great experience!

My kids love Hoop Dee Doo, it's the only thing they've requested this time around.

Considering the time you plan to travel BC should have pretty decent availability as I have had in years past, RO or FD see what is best for you!!!

I would expect a better discount for RO maybe something like 20%-30%

LOL, I don't have a Newf but I have A lab and when I sleep on the couch she is pacing all night long trying to figure out what is going on????
