Fall 2016 planning (continuation of 2016 Free Dining Watch)

[cshell624]

OK Im having way too much fun with this!!!! Is there a way to figure what will be a snack credit and what will be a meal credit???

Most of the food items should be a snack credit. Alcohol is not included. I have never used a quick service credit at the festival, but I think 1 quick service meal equals 3 snack credits. Not sure how it translates at the festival. In other words, if you have to get a drink and dessert or just 3 of anything listed as a snack. Happy planning!!!

I think you have to use a quick service credit all at one booth and it does not include alcoholic drinks. We always put money on one of the wrist bracelets and shared various snacks around the world. It allowed us to try more venues. Otherwise 2-3 and we were done. (Our mistake at our first festival)

Happy Wednesday everyone!!!! I hope your week is going well and your plans are coming together nicely!!!!

Aww, thank you for remembering! They are coming along well. I'm still on my husbands but his has more for me to do. I had out the Modge Podge last weekend glueing and such. Ready to finish his so I can move on to making my tutu haha! I've just been working on it on the weekends, as after work I'm too tired.
Glad you are sewing away on yours! Do you have a lot left to do?

 

[FoxC63]

OMG I most certainly do! Plus I'm trying to plan a few trips; WDW 2016, Colo. Ski 2016 and Hawaii 2017. Are you going to post pics of your handy work? I love seeing the creative side of people. I just found this site: http://www.disboards.com/threads/painted-sneakers-for-our-trip.3516743/#post-56087922
and I know it's just one of many.

Wow, you are busy haha! Sure, I'll post when they are all done. Yeah, people on here are so creative! I wish I had that much talent. I'm always not sure how ours is going to turn out. Just a wing and a prayer most of the time

For your snack credit at the F&W festival at kiosks almost anything they serve (food wise) will be eligible for a snack credit. Keep in mind that you can use 1 QS meal credit for 3 snack credits at the same location. And it has to be the full Quick Service credit being exchanged. You can't partially use a credit for the drink and dessert but exchange the entree part, it's all or nothing. If you use snack credits throughout the parks keep in mind not everything is eligible (those big fancy candy/caramel apples are NOT included).

Everything went awesome! I had made rough plans of what we wanted beforehand and literally everything got picked as planned! I enjoyed how the system was set up this year WAY more than last year, that's for sure.

 

[SunnieRN]

Monday morning my brother was up doing fast passes. We got everything but only two things the times were a bit off. We just changed our meal ADR for Germany so we can get out in time to see the America show then zip over to our frozen fast pass. Then out of that park for the day and on to MK. That's just day one.

We spent literally almost 7 HOURS last night getting our FP planned! UGH!!! I miss the old FP system! We are going for 10 days so that was part of why it took so long but to know what time we wanted to ride what, we needed to basically plan out our entire park day so we could make our ADRs, see parades and fireworks, etc. I'm exhausted today! Hopefully though everything goes smoothly on the 31st when I have to make the FPs. It will be 5am on a Sunday, and that Saturday night is one of my best friends bachelorette party, so I needed the list to be as idiot proof as humanely possible! Ah, the joys of Disney planning!

After months of checking daily and calling multiple times to make my vacation all 1 reservation instead of 11 days of FD and 1 RO(gave up when FD ended).....I call today to change my room request and she says "I can make this to all one reservation with free dining" I don't understand the in and outs and rules but I can finally stop having nightmares about room switches and checking in and out! Now where to eat another TS !?!

Sad to say I don't even trust my ability to sew a button on.

I know you and the dog will be over the moon when the grandmunchkins get home!!!
