DDP...When did you book? Did you change your dates?

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

I'm curious to know when most people on the Dining plan are going to WDW. I know a lot of people over lap, but just choose the month that your vacation is MOSTLY in. Thanks.

And did you move your dates because of the Free dining offer? Please tell.

I just changed from split stay at Poly/CSR in July to staying at WL from Aug 13-20 with free dining. I couldn't pass up such a great deal, and the timing worked since school starts Aug 29.

Must change siggy!

Yes, I guess I have to change mine also.

We would have booked the WL also if we would have fit. (we have 5)

We changed from a 2 day 4th of July trip to see the fireworks to 6 nights in August! I would really have preferred September, but we're going before college starts for DD.

We were already booked and kept the same dates! AAA just applied the free dining code for me! Saved me $2312 off of rack rate

We were already booked and just had the code applied to our original dates and saved almost $300 off AAA.

Sept. 29th-Oct. 6th so mostly in Oct. I booked this on Saturday the 1st. After reading about the Visa promotion here on the Dis on Friday night (7pm-ish), I still never got my Visa email, I told SO about it, and he said go for it. We had recently been talking about going back around the Sept./Oct. time frame same as last year. When I saw this free dining deal again, I couldn't pass it up! We chose the very end of the promotion due to MNSSHP.

I couldn't pass up the chance to attend both the MNSSHP and EP International Food & Wine Festival (even though I don't drink alcohol, I and my children certainly LOVE to eat! )! We booked 9/30-10/09, sort of a pre-celebration for my 3rd daughter (her b-day is 10/10).

So are you saying you used your AAA and got the free dining? I didn't think that was possible

 

[Elfstar]

Didn't change the dates because this is a BONUS trip, thanks to free dining. I wanted to see the F & W Festival, and this was just too convenient to pass up. Yeahhhhhhh, two trips this year!

Yea. That's what I thought also. What gives?

 

[p2oh]

I don't know if there is a AAA discount but I booked through my agent and when I ran the numbers on Disney's website my price is $150 less than the Disney price for the exact same trip. We were originally going 10/15-10/22 but switched to 9/30-10/8 so we added a day on our room and tickets and still came out paying $500 less than our original resservation.

We were originally planning to stay at POP 9/23 - 10/1 & we were already renting points at a BWV from 10/1 - 10/7. So, we didn't change our dates or add any days - just thrilled to get the free dining while at POP!!
