2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

[mousefan73]

So as long as we are all awake, where are you planning to stay and what are your dates? Originally we planned Beach CLub ( I do love the BC) however a CM hinted we would need to make a change to YC, and my DD refuses to stay there, so I needed a back up plan WE are now looking at Old Key West and going DEcember 14 to 22

May I ask why she refuses YC but will stay at BC; they aren't that disimilar and YC has new rooms? OKW, i don't know you lose then SAB and the walk to Epcot, boat to HS.... I would take YC over OKW,but differnt folks.....

How does one find out about a Disney Visa free dining offer.

Chase sends e-mails to card holders but it's usually posted here first.

There has not been an early booking window in recent years for Dis Visa holders but in the past when there was a strong rumor about it, someone on the FD thread would volunteer to call at 7AM and check. I have never gotten an e-mail for early booking until later in the day it dropped.

Great if it's tomorrow I have a meeting right at 11 which might be releasae time.. Thanks God it's just me and this guy I know well. I will be honest and tell him, hey sorry man, but I gotta try and book Disney while we meet. haha.
my agent is also on it, but I prefer to help with the ordeal. She is on the phones and I will try online.

She has an aversion to dogs. She will tolerate service animals, but since YC was dog friendly, it has loomed in her mind. I understand, and while I have not read anything that makes me concerned, she is. I figure that if she feels this strongly we will respect it and find another location if need be.

We booked last July for WL in sept 2018. After reading all the rumors about possible excluded resorts we were planning on beach club if we need to make a resort change for the deal. Really hoping we don’t have to come up with plan c!

Sooooo... I refreshed my page and I now seem to have a UK offer site... not the US page...I went out and back in and still the UK info... weird..

 

[MicroBeta]

what time does it usually happen?

I'm new at this myself but it seems to vary. The past few years it seems to be 5:30ish.

Thank you Disney Ron!!!

Is there any hope for Port Orleans Riverside for the November time frame? I know it hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe a two room reservation at Pop, can't miss free dining

Awesome news! Any rumblings about RO dropping at the same time?

 

[Boodsadel]

Oh man... I was hoping for August 11 arrival. I wonder if there will be an earlier arrival date for Visa cardholders.

 

[samsteele]

It's really dropped as early as 3 AM est? I got up at 4:45 this morning.

Yes. For the past few years, many have been up by 12 midnight to watch & wait.

I’m also hoping for extended visa dates but for November!

Any rumblings on earlier/extended dates for Canadians?

 

[scrappinginontario]

I’m not even convinced at this point it will be tomorrow due to the lack of solid rumours. I want it to be but am not yet convinced.

Update: Just saw @disney Ron‘s post so my hopes are starting to rise again...

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Great info @Disney Ron!!! Is it just me or does it seem surprising the offer is for nearly 6 months April-October? That’s great news though!!! Possibly they will end up including more dates.
