Free Dining 2009 - It's Here!!!

[dooledoo]

Just checked the Disney website and free DDP for next year is on there
However, I don't know if it's just me or the link isn't there but I cant click on the link for the terms and conditions
If anyone else out there can, would you see if AKL is on the Quick dining plan or the regular dining plan

 

[Pinky166]

I'm confused too - I put in my dates on the Disney site and selected Deluxe hotels which came up with only AKL & YC - none of the others?

To see what happened I selected AKL then it listed the prices for the DDP ? and it added it to the total at £36.99 per day...

I couldn't even find anything about free dining on the Virgin Holidays site.

Maybe someone who has managed to book this morning can help.

I'm going to look for you now

 

[tim allen]

just phoned virgin its up on their site but no free days

 

[dooledoo]

Thanks everyone, I'm sure between us we will find all the answers!

I've waited this long and the carrot is being dangled but i cant find out the terms and conditions (I also want to do a split stay). It's very frustrating

 

[tarcc]

sorry don't know how to post links but this is what it says on wdw uk site:

Opt for a moderate resort & receive Disney Quick Service Ding plan free
Choose from a selection of Disney Deluxe resorts & receive Disney Dining plan free.

there is a list & AKL is first on that list.

 

[Pinky166]

I have found it on the Virgin site now.

 

[tarcc]

don't know why it says a selection of deluxe hotels beccause it lists all of them

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has booked through Disney UK previously as the people i spoke to on the phone were less than forthcoming with the answers.
I know they fly with Virgin but obviously all their flights are economy grade, does anyone know if you are able to upgrade your flight with them to premium.

I was looking to book with them but was going to get my flights separate. I think I can probably get them cheaper as we want PE and they are not showing any PE flights online.

yes, i was looking to do the same - book the resort/dining/ticket package with disney and get the flights separately...

 

[dooledoo]

Thanks everyone for helping out.

If anyone can find the link to the terms and conditions, I would be eternally grateful

I'm still trying to find out if you can do split stays so let me know if you know the answer! I now I can depend on the Dis'ers - you're such a knowledgeable bunch!!!

 

[disneyholic family]

it's really a good price - i just priced the yacht club - and it keeps showing me that if i book now i'll get free dining..

the rate, including free dining is a really good rate for the yacht club.

does anyone know what the cancellation policy is?

i have to go find it before i actually book.

 

[orangetiggs]

Its such a good price and I was wondering what if we have to move it etc *** we cant get flights. what are the policies for this if booking with disney
