December 2012 Code Watch

[ksromack]

Sunday - Thursday nights 12/1-12/20.

This is the same PIN I got through snail mail and I booked our trip Dec 8-15 using it. I keep hoping for a Free Dining PIN or offer to come out.....i think that would still be a better deal than the PIN I reserved our POR room with.

We will be at POP from Dec. 8th-15th. We cannot wait...haven't been to WDW in December since 2008. We are hoping for FD or a discount would be good too...doesn't matter. Anything to save a few bucks.

Early August, I think the 4th.

Do you know the dates for Free Dinning last year? I'm hoping to check-in Dec 22 of this year.

I think it only went to the 16th or 17th. The 22nd is considered peak season, so free dinining is unlikely. Sorry!

I think you are going to be out of luck

2009 and 2011 the free dining package went thru 12/17 and for 2010 it ended on 12/21. So I'd be very surprised to see free dining for the dates you are looking for.

I did see some other discounts from previous years that covered your dates. 2009 they were doing a get 7 nights for the price of 4, and in 2011 they were doing some kind of gift card (don't recall all the details). But for 2012, your guess is as good as anyone's, and if I had to guess with the new Fantasyland expansion, I wouldn't think there'd be a lot.

If you are looking just for free dining, I wouldn't count on it. If you are looking for room discounts then watching for the AP discount for that month might be your best bet.

I'm in the same boat. POR RGR 12/7-12/13 and REALLY hoping for a FD announcement for my trip.

Well, we booked as we did get a PIN for free QS (whatever level resort). We are staying at POR RGR so I upgraded to Reg dining (worked out $100 pp for 6 nights). There are 5 of us so I am hoping for free reg dining so I can adjust - $500 off our bill would be greatly appreciated

WOW! A lot of us will be there the exact same week! We are staying 12/8-12/15 at POFQ.
Soooo hoping for free dining! We already have the dining plan added to our package and will do it regardless but sure would be nice to get that $back!

If we do, we do...if not....we will still have a fabulous magical time!

Just changed our December 26 - January 5 reservation to the new LM section at the AOA. Since it is highly unlikely that we will get any discounts for our dates we decided to switch to AOA. Super excited to stay there though, especially since it opens when we are staying at POP in May. Maybe we will run over & get a little close up sneak peak.

Count me in! Booked for the yacht club 12/23-12/29!

Booked Dec. 3-11, had free dining the last 4 times first week of Dec. Last year they changed FD dates but we were and many others already booked, you just have to really pay attention for dates, and when booking opens!

We were lucky enough to get FD when they first had it out in Dec. So we checked in on the 3rd which was the last day for it. We have had FD the last few times we went as well. I remember when FD came out for Dec, the boards were frozen and everyone was rushing to get the dates they wanted. It was so exciting YAY can't wait to do it all over again
