Check in last day of free dining-do you still qualify for the whole trip?

[kldmom2000]

In 2006 we checked in the last day of free dining and were eligible for free dining the rest of the week. Does it still work that way if free dining is to be offered again this fall? Just curious...

 

[twoeeyy]

yes. We have done it on more than 1 occasion. This coming Oct we booked bounceback and are checking in the last day again.

Same here.. and you can now book for 14 days.. I think the max last yr was 10.
twoeeyy.. we'll be there at the same time... enjoy!

It did work for us in 2007! It did not for 2008! We are bouncing back but we were NOT allowed to stay past the 27th. We tried three different times, with three different people, and were basically told "when it ends, its over". Some people appeared to have lucked out, just not us! We wanted 13 nights/14 days, the last full week in September and going into October. We ended up having to take the two weeks in September.

This is how I would expect it to work with Disney's new pricing policy. When a specific rate is over, it's over.

Yes, we were told the same thing as well as my two DDs and DS when they booked the bounceback last September. The 27th was the last day you could get the free dining. We are staying the 27th so we can get the dining through the 28th, which is the day we are checking out.

I'm confused. We too are wanting to check out on the 28th of September. Our dates are the 20th through the 28th. Will we get 8 TS, 8 CS credits or just 7 since free dining stops on the 27th?

I would assume that the dates are inclusive ... that is 9/27 is the last night for the free DDP and you can use your credits through midnight on 9/28.

we are bouncingback Sept. 20-28 and rec'd free dining for 8 nights.

 

[disneydaveb]

We were able to book bounceback for 2008 from 9/24 - 10/1. Free Dining for all 7 nites.

 

[DisneyAngel83]

seems that it depended on who you got when you booked because our dates are sept 25-oct3 with free dining the whole stay.

Yes, that is correct. We are staying for 10 nights/11 days, so we would get vouchers for 10 nights but can use them through 9/28 since that is our checkout date.

I know the flyer in our room said the free dining was only being offered for stays through 9/27, so I'm not sure how some got the offer beyond the dates that were advertised.

Calling Disney to double check, but I was told that my rate for 9/27-10/1 was for free dining the entire stay.
