Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, I am off to work and I have to actually wait until Thursday to book! I got this info from another site this morning, corrected codes for Disney Visa:

To book the Disney Rewards® Visa® "FREE Dining" vacation package, please contact a travel agent who specializes in Disney travel, and request the appropriate offer code:


CMK for Dining Plan (FREE)

CMP for Deluxe Dining Plan

CMM for Dining Plan plus Wine & Dine Plan

CMS for Deluxe Dining Plan plus Wine & Dine Plan


Maybe the other codes are for us that have to stress for three more days!!

Good luck to everyone, will have to catch up when I get home!

Finally got through around 8:10 -- so 60 minutes of waiting. Sneaking on at work to write now...

Had Lucrista -- she was very nice! Booked everything fine.

I'm at ASMovies from 9/13-9/20. What I wanted, so yay. Booked dining ressies yesterday (in anticipation) so everything is taken care of. Woohoo! Good luck to everyone still trying.

My email says that it's 42 minutes old, but I got off the phone before 7:30. So I'd say maybe 1:30-1:45.

I could really use a cup of coffee right now. Didn't even take time to put the pot on before I got on the phone... been on hold an hour now. Congrats to those of you who have gotten through and booked yours!! I am staying entertained by reading all your posts!

Could ya send a cup of coffee through the computer? I'm feeling drowsy listening to all this soothing Disney music...

Does anyone know if any resorts are excluded from the Free Dining? Was anyone able to book with POFQ

 

[crazydisneyman]

I used the "Free Dining Code CMK" That's what I said. It covered all the bases.

My CM was really nice. She even noticed that I didn't have my Magical Express on my reservations yet. So we added that too.

Oh my gosh. I got off the phone and started crying with happiness.

Poly---Sept 17-23rd.

We are staying Poly 20-28. Maybe I will se you. We are staying Concierge.

Just got off - got the free dining, I had a 40% off room rate but it was still cheaper to pay reg rate & get free dining then to get discount & pay for dining. I was on hold a little over an hour. CM switched over old ressies to free dining no problem, I did have to put down $200.00 on the DV (2x - we have 2 rooms)I had originally but deposit down on a diff cc.

I asked CM if she was busy today and she said oh yeah, but then she said it will be even busier on the 10th... I said when it is open to the gen public and she said exactly.

Also our dates are 9/17-9/27 no problem extending.

Good luck!

Just got through and I told the CM I wanted to add Free Dining, she required me to give her a code, so I gave her CMK. She said I was the first today to give her the correct code and that others have tried the AYG and she doesn't know what that is, so she could not book for them. Thank heaven I was on here this morning for the right code!! Thanks DISers!!

No problem adding FD to our package from 9/20-9/27.

Does anybody know if I book Sept 19 if FD will be extended for the length of my stay?

Ack, I've been posting to the "other" free dining thread all morning thinking I was here - DH left disboards up and I didn't check the thread...
I got it after over 90 minutes on hold
We're in a Savannah View at AKL for more than we wanted to spend, but still a good deal because of free dining. We decided that we could up our "break even" number (from room only discount we had) for free dining in hopes of being able to "bouce back with free dining 09" while we're there in September 08. It is worth a good bit to me right now to not have to be on hold nearly 2 hours next year for free dining!!! Good luck to all.

 

[mistyg]

ALL BOOKED!! It was 2 hours and one disconnection later, but I am finally finished The CM was a big help!!

 

[DVCkidsMOM]

Does anybody know if I book Sept 19 if FD will be extended for the length of my stay?

Yes, per Mousesavers and the free dining thread on the codes/rates board here, all you have to do is check in by Sept 20 and FD is extended for your stay. (There may be a limit of nights so you can't get FD for weeks on end, though most folks posting seem to be going for 7 nights as are we.)

MY TA tried POFQ and couldn't get it. She said it was a small resort and wasn't offered. I have 20% off so FD would of only saved me under $20.00

 

[disgram]

Am still waiting!! Been about 20 min. so far this time. Had been waiting for almost 45 min. prior but had to make a "pit" stop! So I lost my spot in the "que". Isn't mother nature great! LOL

Daughter just called and asked what was going on. Told her and said that I won't get off this time for anything!!!! Gotta get that free dining!!!!

 

[EmilyB]

This is so exciting!!
