Free Dining 2013 Part 2 ~ The Sequel

[DisneyMom5]

I believe some of the ladies were discussing a gentleman by the name of Ronald. That's where things seem to have left off.

Crud...I was trying to quote everyone from the old thread, but it didn't carry over.

Re: Ronald - He has to be over 18, because he was the head of a room.
But I hate to dissapoint...if he shares OUR last name, he ain't rich.

Feel free to imagine him any age or description, I guess.

If he does, indeed, get free dining for life, though, I might actually claim him as a family member.

ETA: We, and apparently Ronald, will be there 9/1-9/9 at AsMo.

Yeah, the CM would say, "Oh, Free Dining, that's the Room Only discount around here."

So true!

Hate to beat this thing to the ground but here is my res info when I log into disney's site under my res in My Disney Experience. NOTHING about my dining package and still no email. I called once and the girl said "I see the dining pin attached", but when she read me the res she didn't mention dining and when I listened to the automated system that reads off your info it said Nothing about dining. I want some visual proof that yes the dining is there and yes it's free. I know I got a credit of $700, but how do I know that they just didn't "delete" the dining option

Am I over thinking this thing and putting all my dumb fears into it? I didn't use a TA so I should be getting all the info directly.

Call back and find out why you didn't get the email. They can send it again. I had mine in a couple hours.

I thought I was being paranoid, but I wasn't and I am so glad I did. Better safe than sorry. Now go get that email confirmation. : )

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?

I wouldn't be able to meet up those dates since I'm not there, but then again idk if I would be able to meet up at all! Everything planned for each day, and already going with 5 other families! I am however, open to making a lime green Mickey, just for the fun of it!!

That will make me feel so much better. I should have known they could resend it!

Your poor story is what had me double checking this the other day. I'm glad it all worked out for you

Thanks!!!

Lime green mickeys? Where can I find one?

 

[Sylkie31]

I believe some of the ladies were discussing a gentleman by the name of Ronald. That's where things seem to have left off.

Good morning, glad to see we've started a new free dining thread. And who is Ronald? Is this also a new dating thread.

Who is Ronald you ask? That's what we're trying to find out. He was added to DisneyMom5's reservation (no one knows quite how) instead of DD. As I've been single for far too long, I asked DM5 if I could have him as she didn't want him linked with her ressie. Things just kinda took off from there. Free dining 2013 & now the sequel - they're not just for FD anymore! One might say we're getting I prefer to think of it as being creative!

 

[Sylkie31]

Lime green mickeys? Where can I find one?

I think others have posted that we'd probably have to make our own as [I forgot which store] doesn't stock them anymore. I'm planning on checking craft stores for lime green self-adhesive paper (preferably something durable & waterproof) to cut out mickey head(s) and put on button/pin/badge.

 

[Sylkie31]

I found a few of those lime green mickeys in my drawer.

Cool - care to share some? Oh wait, we'd probably need to be wearing one for you to recognize us first. This could be a problem.

So have we decided that's how we'd identify other DIS members when we are there?

 

[disneyfantotheend]

Are you going to put a picture of Joe on your lime green Mickey ears, to show your support of these threads? LOL

 

[mskermit]

ok so I just called to see if I had a pin connected to my name, of course I don't, BUT... the Disney person I spoke to asked me if my dates were flexible, of course this trip absolutely not. he said if I could change my dates he could give me free dining starting august 25th to December with some black out dates!! he said if I could change my dates to call back and say I was previously told about this offer and ask to have it applied.... just passing this on. Ugh.. I wish I could change my dates this year!!!!

 

[Howgreat]

I just called to make our reservation for November 30-December 6 and I mentioned to the CM that we were hoping for FD. She said they all just got an email that there will be no more free dining offered this year. What do you all think? In that case, I'm considering only booking my hotel ressies through Disney, getting my tickets elsewhere, and paying for food OOP.

Myself and DH are going 9/24 to 10/1 staying at CBR. I still have some lime green mickeys from years prior! I would like to do a meet up!

Hmmm... I wonder what this August thru December free dining discount is if not a pin?? My dad received a free dining pin at MY email address, so I have been anxiously waiting for one, to no avail! I am going in November and would love to know that free dining will be offered to the general public!

 

[Lazor460]

Lime green mickeys? Where can I find one?

I know Home Depot used to have them, but they don't sell disney paint anymore however today I received an email that Walmart is selling disney paint I wonder if they will have them! I'm going to check next time I go and will let you all know ASAP. If someone else goes before please let us know!

I've been hoping for one, too. We've been to the Disney for the last 3 years and I'm all in their system, but nada.
