Current free dining offer expires May 18. What's next? (Looking for rumors!)

[mommyof3princess27]

I am thinking when a GP FD offer is released the dates will be slightly different than the pin people are recieving

In 2010 it was offered Sat to Thurs 11/27 - 12/2 and in 2011 Sun to Sat 11/27 to 12/3 (later changed to Sat to Fri dates)

My guess is we will see Sat 11/24 to Thur 11/29 or Fri 11/30

Or

Sun 11/25 to Sat 12/1

Both of them are ok in my book

Mine too

I am 99.9% confident our dates will see FD and /or a room only discount for our week. I am booked for 11/28 to Dec 3

The BB for room discount when I was there in March was for 11/25 - 11/30 if DH and I could have agreed then about a return trip I wouldn't be going crazy now waiting for an offer

Ugh. If the GP offer is the same then I am unhappy. We will be there 11/3-11/7. Stupid blackout dates. Maybe there will be another offer for that week. One can hope.

My friend just got a pin for Fall Free Dining, it said "Get a first look", so I am guessing that means that a GP free dining offer is to come........

Her dates were: For arrivals most nights 9/30–10/4/12; 10/19–11/1/12; 11/9–11/15/12; 11/23–11/29/12; 12/10–12/13/12.
Book now through 7/28/12.

and with the end of July book by date, I am guessing the GP offer will come out in August, same as last year......

I just opened an e-mail, and I got a pin! It's for 30% off or FD. Dates are only through December though (and we are going in January), so I'm hoping for another one that will go through January! There are a lot of blackout dates, though.

You never know what Disney is likely to do. In 2010 they sent out pins that covered the blackout dates for FD. Of course that was before the cutbacks with discounts. That year I did get the pin that covered the blackout dates but did not need it as I was booked with a 40% off pin then ended up having to cancel our trip anyway when our boiler blew 3 weeks before our trip

No pin for me and she actually told me nothing is being offered yet beyond september- and we all know that isn't true.
but nothing for me, and I don't think she really looked very hard. it took her all of less than 2 seconds to say I had nothing. others are saying that after some period of time looking they come up with one

I didn't have it either, but I did ask the CM today about the wording on the FD pin. I told her it said "get a first look at a tasty fall offer", and asked if that meant it would go GP. Her reply was, "Yes it will". I guess only time will tell if she is right.

Someone just posted on the Current Promotions thread that this IS the new fall free dining offer.

So only certain ppl will get to use it??? Only the ppl that get a PIN???

That someone was wrong. They received the PIN for the free dining, but it has not been released to the GP.

Maybe they think that this is the offer and there wont be any kind of GP offer

All indications from the CM I spoke with this morning leads me to believe that it will go public. My guess is that they will let the PINs go out and then see how the bookings go. If some weeks fill up with the PINs, they may be dropped from the GP deal, but clearly there are still a lot of people who didn't recieve this PIN, so I will still hold out hope for the GP offer to come. I don't expect it to come anytime soon, though. My guess is end of July.

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I wonder if more emails containing PINs will be sent out or that was it?

That was my understanding from both CM's I spoke with yesterday and today. They both said the the GP discount will be released within the next month after all the pins go out. I still have hope!

 

[weswife]

I called this morning and spoke to a CM. The CM I spoke with told me to check my email next week! Then went on to say marketing is sending out alot of pins lately. he said to keep checking. I sure do hope to get a pin or GP offer sooooonnnn!!!

 

[whodatdare]

Okay, so upset...

Last night was told we had a Pin, but because it was in the MIL's name, she or a TA had to book. Our TA called today and was told there wasn't one.


I'm so ticked at Disney right now

I'm just going to let our new TA handle it now. BTW, finally heard from the original TA on the 6th day. Not responding to that one, obviously.

 

[DisneyGuess]

I am still planted firmly in the never gotten a PIN club, lol. Hoping for the GP offer to cover our dates!

That someone was wrong. They received the PIN for the free dining, but it has not been released to the GP.

that's what was confusing me!!!

I hope for everyone that enjoys free dining that it does become available soon. Fingers crossed for you!
