Free Dining 2009 - It's Here!!!

[venny]

Does anyone know if Virgin Atlantic will release their September flights before this offer ends, or is it best to take the gamble that flights will be available and lock in the rooms we want now?

 

[jackieleanne]

I say its best to take a gamble so far out I wouldnt say finding a flight would be a problem, last year my family found flights in and out a month before we left.

Yeah this is where I think my dbf will be tempted as we would be paying about 200 more than this years holiday but then when we add dining costs onto eveything it would be cheaper than what we have spent this year. BF says he will do but it depends how he likes it this year. I think the akl addition was due to be finished early next year or is that just the villas? Im also tempted by WL.

SSR and OKW are up with the deluxe free dining at 44% off and work out cheaper than CBR.

you're right, i looked it up...
the AKL DVC addition is due to be finished early next year and will have a spectacular new pool....i assume regular AKL guests will be able to use the pool there as well - i hope....it will apparently rival the pool at the BC/YC...

 

[venny]

I've seen the renders of that pool and it reminds me of the Cariba Creek Waterpark at Alton Towers Hotel, not sure if it will be good enough to rival Stormalong Bay though.

Gotta say that the deals seem to be best with Disney direct, rather than Virgin. The only problem is that the flight-inclusive booking system doesn't seem to include the free DDP and has a few other bugs, so it's difficult to get a proper price out of it. Think I'm going to get on the phone and wait.

That's sounds good, it doesn't bring me up any availability online when I try and price them though

Good Deal But If U Have Ap's They Still Want U To Buy Park Tickets So U Don't Qualify

Also I Won't Even Use The Park Tickets That The Package Came With As We Will Have Our Ap's What A Deal I Got

So can you use these tickets another time

I Might Just MIGHT Book Something I Guess That After Sept & December's Vacations I Will Be "Hooked" To Staying "On Property" Only Downside Is No CL With The Free Dining.Well There Is With GF But They Want 5 Grand I Just Might Not Upgrade My Ap's For Next Year

i just played with the website - you can also get CL at the yacht club (but not at BC) and at the poly and the GF....
of the three, the YC is the cheapest...
but it all depends what dates you pick...
the above was for dates i chose in august..
i just tried some dates in september, and the YC didn't come up at all....not even for regular rooms..
so you have to play around with dates until you get the package you want...
assuming your dates are flexible...

Thanks For The Info Yes Dates Are Very Flexible For Me But After Thinking About It CL And The Free DDP Would Be Way To Much Food For Me Actually DDP Is Too Much For Me
