K, I am here with my Iphone now. Just what I need access to my obsession 24/7. LOL. Did anyone get the mouse trivia app? Fun, Fun.

O that sounds like fun! I don't have that one! Definitely going to get!

Anytime after six would be good. I can just hop in the room and hang out there.

Count me in - even if Ronald can't be there. Is that 6:00 eastern, central, ?? And how do I find the chat room?

After six I'll be on.

I have the samsung galaxy S3 and would go crazy if I didn't have the app. I love that it takes me to the page I was on last as opposed to the last page of the thread. I need to catch up at times!

I have the S3, too. Don't have the Dis app [yet]. Not sure if I have enough memory available for it and the mouse trivia app - guess I should have gotten the 32 GB version. Where do I find the app? Google play store, amazon apps?

I would love to read more about speculated dates for FD this fall if anyone has information...

ME TOO!!! I love the feeling of hope!

Last year the fall thru Dec. special offers were released July 11, and the year before that it was August 3.

I am sticking to that June 17th....I feel good about that date for some reason... Can't even remember who was talking about it?!?!

For actual dates that might be covered if free dining were offered to the general public can only be speculation at this time. It is not a stretch to believe that some of these dates may be similar to the ones offered in the much coveted pins that are going around. I can include those dates that were provided to me in my offer, but if these dates are extremely popular, they may not be offered to GP. They include: Up to Oct 2.
10/18-10/31
11/11-11/23
11/30-12/4
12/15-12/22

I love those dates!!! Please oh please!!

In one of her last posts she said she was going to take a little break after the May 9 offer, but I am sure she will be back for the next go around. At least she better be!

I miss 411 and Smitch being on here often!!! They are a wealth of info although, Black and the rest of the FD thread is very helpful and informative too!!!

Hi there I would like to join in on this thread! I would love that as well!!!

Welcome!!!

Hi and Thanks!!!

We are hoping to go October 9 - 22.

Hey there!! We will have a small overlap. Do you know where you are staying yet? We are at BC.

So.....2 years ago it was in AUGUST

........1 year ago it was in JULY

The upper mgmt person I spoke to said the new offers (no details on what the offer would be) were scheduled to be released JUNE (17 was the date given)

Looks like the trend is "moving up" a month????

I am perfectly fine with this trend...

Well I know I've been to disney world nearly every year of my life, sometimes multiple trips per year, and never have received a PIN code of any kind. That's just my dumb luck I suppose.

You of all folks should get one simply because of your helpfulness to all of the WDW obsessed....(me being one)

Thanks!!!
Actually I'm still trying to finilize that. We have 6 people in our party and currently i'm at the Lion King Suite at AoA. I'm not sure if that is the best location for my party size or not ???

I was looking at the wdw promos and a ro discount is ending on June 14th, do you think the June 17th date is another ro discount for the fall?

 

[Ckmommy72]

This as probably been asked, so I apologize for being too lazy to read through all the pages of this and the previous thread.


We are planning a possible quick trip for the halloween party. My question is, if we book FD at a value, and decide close to or even at check in that we'd like to upgrade to regular dining, can we do that? Is there a cut off time?

TIA!!

I know that there is a time deadline. Maybe 2 days before to upgrade?? It can not be done at check in to my knowledge.

You know what I think? We too have been multiple times....we are not their "target" they BANK on us coming regardless...it's the 1 timer who hasn't been back in a few years.....someone should try to create an alter profile saying they haven't been but 1 time and not since 2000.....ya know for poops and giggles....

I did that a couple of weeks ago when the first PINs went out. Still got nothing.v

All dining plans must be added (or modified) at least 72 hours prior to check in.

My sources show nothing on the 17th yet. These are the the same sources that leaked the last free dining and even the room only discounts that no one else even heard about until they were released, so they are solid. As soon as I know, I will share and I won't make anyone wait for it. If I have partial bits and pieces of information, then I will share that as well.

As always, remember that no leak is or has ever been 100% accurate and you should never make any plans or reservations that are not 100% refundable until it is announced by Disney themselves.

Waiting patiently (or not so much) for a leak. Would be nice to hear something by early July.

Thanks black. It drives me nuts how little some cms know when it comes to discounts. You can call one day and a cm will tell you to keep calling and looking for the next discount and another will tell you there won't be anymore discounts for the rest of the year. I'm not sure how it works but do they all sit in the same room when they are working together ? Can they not hear each other when one suggests one thing and one says the total opposit? There is a thread that explains how to get your tickets up to three days before the start start of your pkg yet if you ask a cm they'll tell you this can't be done. As far as I know this isn't something that just started yesterday. So after all these years why are they not educated on this obviously legitimate procedure?

CMs don't get any info ahead of time...most of the time you call on release date only to be told they have no idea what you're talking about. The ones that do seem to know things usually read these boards and get it from here.

Either way, no matter how early the leaks come, everyone has to book it the same day anyway. So it's best to get a complete picture before committing to anything anyway. You could have leaked info now and someone else find out the night before release and they may get theirs booked while you're waiting on hold. So knowing a month ahead doesn't do much other than settling nerves.

They will do something, be it free dining or room discounts...just relax and when I know, you'll know. I have the app on my phone and I don't care to post it no matter where I am or what I'm doing...and they really love it when I'm in marketing meetings posting on the Dis...
