Do you think Disney will be making temp. changes to the DDP during Aug. & Sept?

Our trip starts 9/24 so we miss free dining (did get the 40%off code though). Since there will be many guests still taking advantage of free dining, do you think that we will be able to trade TS for CS meals? We always seems to have 2 TS left over and run out of CS meals.

I also heard the Narcooses's is open for lunch for 1 TS credit, and that Ohana at least is opening for dinner early. I am sure they will have to make modifications based on the lack of availability of ADRs

I called 6/24 to switch out of 'Ohana character breakfast to the dinner. I was going to request an ADR near 5pm, as that was the posted start time on allearsnet's menu. The CM first offered me a time in the 4 o'clock hour, which threw me, because it conflicted with why I wanted to switch the meal.

I doubt it. Plan on a 2TS meal (Narcoossee's, Citricos, Flying Fish, etc.) then you won't have to worry about a leftover. Also plan a TS for your check out day and cancel if you've used them up. Hope you are making ADRs!

Last year, you were able to trade a TS for a counter service and a snack or lanyard set. I can't remember exactly what you got for a TS, but I know that you were able to do it.
I've been calling to try and get ADR's for 2 people and many of the popular restaurants are booked for lunch and dinner. Other not-so-popular restaurants only have seatings either before 5pm or after 8:45pm - it seems that free dining has been very popular again!

Yep..I have ADRs, all except for the last day. I better take care of that ASAP.

Yes, that is what they offered. I know because we did it.

I thought it was a TS for a Cs and two snacks last year???

I am having a hard time getting ADR's for our Sept. trip with Free DDP. When I spoke with a rep at the WDW DINE number she said the TS credits could only be used for TS meals. It looks like I will have more TS credits than what is available for our touring plans. I hate the idea of paying for a CS meal when I have excess TS credits that I can't use!

For those who encountered this issue last year during the Free Dining time....I am reading that you were able to use your TS credits toward CS dining. How did you do this? Who let you know & when were you informed this was an option?

Thanks!

Can't help with your CS issue, but are you sure about getting ADRs? I booked (within last few days, during free DDP dining) the following:

• Chef Mickey's lunch
• California Grill dinner
• Teppanyaki lunch
• Chefs de France lunch
• Boma dinner
• Raglan Road lunch
• Raglan Road dinner
• SciFi Dine in lunch

These were 2, 5, or 6 people tables.

I wouldn't trade TS for CS.

You know, I think you are right! (sorry about that)

curemyreed, don't stress too much about not having ADRs. When we did free dining last September, we changed all but 1 ADR when we got there (we changed 6 total). And we had no problem. Also, we found in Dec that if you get to the restaurant when it first opens (not talking LeCellier here, but most others) you can check at the podium and they may seat you then. Worth a try.

We did not find out about exchanging TS credits for CS until we got there. However, we were there the second day of free dining.

i had the opportunity to speak with a very knowledgeable cm a few days ago re: this exact issue... and she told me that it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that narcoosees (sp?) will be a 1TS lunch... she did tell me about citricos (just like a previous poster described, due to 1900 PF being refurbed) and CMs opening for lunch and the possibility of adding a TS buffet in MK (tomorrowland) again... she also indicated that the 1TS = 1CS+2S is very likely but no word has come thru on it definitively...
