Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[Sharongal74]

I sure hope they aren't changing mid year! My tusker house reservation for the nighttime show says the restaurant doesn't accept the dining plan. I called about it and they have told me it was a glitch.

It seems like they would leave TH alone TS meal as they now have Tiffins. The other TS restaurants, Y&Y and RFC are not even Disney owned.

Disney is like well we haven't screwed with our loyal customers enough this year, let's play with the dining plan a little and rile them up again!

Grrrr I wish Disney would release the rest of the December hours!!!! I know someone said they found them, but I can only see until Monday 12/12.

I wouldn't swim in 70 degree weather!!! I wouldn't be wearing a parka, but sweatshirt, definitely!!!!

Oops. Sorry SunnieRN, I forgot to post the link. Thanks Iowamomof4 for posting!!

Anyone find any updates on the dining credit fiasco this morning?

Anyone find any updates on the dining credit fiasco this morning?

All I know is I booked Chef Mickey's this morning and my confirmation email says 1 credit for all meals. The issue doesn't really affect me since I don't have the dining plan and booked breakfast but I really hope they don't change it. A buffet should not be 2 credits.

I wonder if they read the thread that was started yesterday. I just skimmed it but it doesn't really seem like they know anything more than what was discussed here.

One of the other threads is saying that a TA was told it is for all new reservations. This just all seems crazy to do this now. I understood CRT 2 credits, better food, a wand and pictures but I see they have taken the printed pics away. But 2 credits for a buffet is crazy! We do have TH booked but for 10:50 which I believe is still breakfast. My girls are getting older so we only have 2 character meals. The changes with cost of things seem to be getting a little out of hand.

Agreed, sounds like information was simply repeated on the site for those who may not have seen the original thread or be on DIS boards...

I just saw on one of the threads that it is part of Thanksgiving dining and is only 2 credits on Thanksgiving.

Right, that poster actually tried to make a reservation both on Thanksgiving Day and a random day in September, and it reflected 1 TS credit for the September date and 2 TS credits for Thanksgiving Day. The poster took screenshots, which seemed pretty self-explanatory and would give Disney an easy 'out' that this was a glitch (for now)...

From the Dis, WDWinfo.com

It mentions October 2nd as a possible effective date... as well as the 2 credits it mentions an actual price change - $59 (??)

Still holding out hope it's all just rumor.

I went and made a reservation for lunch at the tusker house right now for oct 2nd, and when you get to the reservation screen, it says 1 credit. So I think it's a mistake that will get fixed.

Note, this is from clicking the "select dining plans accepted" link, after you have already selected a time and you are assigning guests. If you click the "select dining plans accepted" on the tusker house page it still says 2 credits. I'm more inclined to believe the one where you are actually setting up the reservation.

I would have to say that they wouldn't change the dining plan in the middle of the year or while people can make their reservations. They would just have to photo shop or get a screen shot of when they purchased the meal plan. Because you don't buy something and then not honor what was purchased.

In other news, you can now pay $45 for a 3 course lunch at Tony's and get reserved viewing of MSEP

It's 1 credit on the DP

Is there any reserved seating for the daytime parade? Not necessarily from the dining package with Tony's, just in general. I heard they're ending the FastPasses for the parade...

 

[Amanda S.]

It's fixed, they are all back to 1 table credit.
