Free Dining 2013 Part 2 ~ The Sequel

[Kat016]

LOL, I'll sleep with him if he could get me free dining for November as far as the pins go, I thought if you got a pin you use it and if you didn't get one you just waited for the general public offer. I don't think I would feel comfortable arguing my way up the chain in order to get it. I think it should be a fair playing field for everyone.

Lmao...wow Ronald is quite the stud on here!!

Would love to do a meet up if we can. Maybe we should try to create our own lime green mickeys for a "yep, I'm a member of this (and other?) Dis-threads".
Anyone available for meet up on Thurs 9/12 (evening) or sometime Sun (9/15) or morning/early afternoon on Tues 9/17?

GREAT JOB putting this list together!!!!! As I look at this list there are 18 people that are either there the same days as me or at least over lap with my dates... how fun! looking forward to seeing the lime green mickeys!

 

[Kat016]

Does anybody have pictures of the lime green mickey heads??

 

[babydoll65]

WOW!! quite a few of you guys going in Sept/Oct hope all of you have wonderful trips with NO rain,small crowds and plenty of food.

 

[Sylkie31]

Ooh that's sounds perfect for me. I HATE wearing shoes that's why I'm in flip flops or bare feet. Where do you find them and do you by chance have a picture??

You can try sierra trading post.com. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/womens-footwear~d~19/ That's where I got the ones I wore for my last Disney trip - and they discount the major brands. They have a pair of Teva sandals I would love to get (Toachi in a very pretty blue called stargazer), but alas, they only have size 5 & 5/5 available. I did find some at Champaign surplus.com (also at a discount). They cost a little more there than STP, but they are also the Toachi 2 (new & improved) so not too bad - and there's free shipping on orders over $50. Teva Open-Toachi Sport Sandals (For Women)
I don't usually pay $60 for a pair of shoes, but if they keep my feet from hurting like the last ones I bought did, they'll be worth every penny!

Hey now, Ronald's supposed to be for me - I asked first!
Now, if you can arrange it so I can actually meet our e-maginary friend, I'll make sure your dining is free!

Maybe EHarmony might be able to help.

I agree with that. And I am not the type to argue anything.

Dont worry, our time is coming. We will be doing the happy dance when we get our free dining

Oh I hope so, I really do.

Called a CM again this morning (persistence is key, right?) after getting an ema with those 3-digit codes. Was only valid on AoA family suites, and only have a discount. BAH. No good here.

I really wouldn't worry this should turn into a general public offer. If you noticed alot of people in here who got the pin already had reservations. Usually they send them out to fill hotel rooms. The pin may help fill rooms a little but when they send it out to the general public this is when the rooms start to fill up. Places like POR and POP which are pretty large hotels fill there rooms better with a gp offer than a pin. Some pins sent out will never get used like people who switched there dates to September where they got garenteed free dining. Some people are using the bb offer yet they still felt the need to send out pins. There obviously not filling the rooms the way they want.

We actually haven't booked our room yet. Maybe we should just reserve the room?

Your not garenteed fd just because you HAVE a room. Many people wait till the fd is offered even before they make there reservation. People are still making reservations for the September fd offer and getting it. Maybe not there first choice resort but there still getting it so I wouldn't worry. I booked in February for my trip in November regardless weather we get fd dining of not. What resort are you thinking about staying at?

 

[plutospalforever]

Remember too that if you make a ressie in hopes of applying free dining, you will need to book a package with at least 2 days of park tickets and a 3 night stay (typically). If you have a room only ressie and FD becomes available, that ressie will have to be cancelled and rebooked as a package

Hi neighbor. We are here in CT. You know what? That makes a lot of sense. We will be going from Oct. 2-9. We are hoping for fd, but are looking forward to the trip anyways.

Sorry quoted the wrong person...LOL
