Booked 2BR in BWV but not included in free dining!

[guinness408]

We booked our trip a couple of months ago for a 2BR at BWV starting 8/25. I was thrilled when I saw the free dining dates but then so sad that BWV wasn't included! Has anyone seen free dining expanded at a later date? Wondering if it could still open up or if we're just out of luck. Thanks very much!

You can always keep trying to see if it will ever open. What about switching resorts? I noticed SSR, AKL Kidani and OKW has 2BR availability for FD right now.

If nothing else, this room discount was offered last year per Mousesavers - maybe it will come back this year and you can get it at least:

For check ins 8/14/11-10/1/11 room-only discounts for general public became available on 5/29/11, exp 8/13/11

(If you had an AP) For check ins 8/14/11-10/1/11 flat rate room-only discounts (about 21%-40%) for Annual Passholders became available on 6/30/11, exp 10/1/11

This was the info:

For a 2br villa, I'd look into renting DVC points. You'll probably save more money that way. If you really want a dining plan you can pay for it but it'll overall still likely be cheaper than free dining in a 2br villa.
