Thank you mr black!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like everyone is getting what they want and nothing is selling out at this point. Aside from a few rooms not being eligible, all is good.

Wait times are very low this time around....this has been a great experience.

Finding Nemo not excluded, just very limited dates available. None for 9/22-28.
Sorry, in all the excitement, I forget details. Thanks for asking.

Excellent info, thanks

Shortest FD hold time ever. My actual booking took a LONG time due to the computer issues and my need for three packages and three room only. Can't say enough how awesome the CM was though.

My TA was able to get fee dining for everyone traveling with me, September 25- October 6, all staying at Caribbean, one ADA room with preferred location. The others standard rooms (I believe). So excited!

Poly...Standard view (don't know about higher levels)

Just booked POR for sept 7-15. Standard room. The CM was super nice and excited for the free dining offer. Ya!

I Called this morning around 7 a.m. and I got a hold in the line to talk in English then I tried the line to talk in Spanish and my call was taken immediately. I got CSR September 7-15.

Yes Spanish is the best way to shorten the time on Hold. When Stay/Play/Dine offer started in October 2012. People on the disboards were reporting 45 to 60 minutes on hold. My TA did not even get on Hold when she called in Spanish.

It would be interesting for someone to track and ask which categories and resorts are showing FD...

So far...
Beach Club...Laguna/Pool view or higher
Contemporary...Standard view or higher
Wilderness Lodge...Woods view or higher...
POFQ....river view or higher
Poly...standard view or higher

Any others?

Poly...Standard view (don't know about higher levels)

CBR standard was available and we upgraded to a Preferred room which was also available. That was @ 7 am.

Has ANYONE booked FD for late August? Two posters were assured by CMs that FD was available for Aug 15- Sep 25. I haven't called because I am waiting for my sister (a TA) to call at 9:00.

Those dates are room only discount and you can make it a package

Thanks for all the updates! We're not Cardholders, so we'll have to wait until Thursday, but it's so exciting to see everyone getting what they want!

Can't wait to upgrade (ASMo to CBR) and extend our Trip (From 9/7-9/14 to 9/7-9/17), thanks to this sweet offer!

Booked POR garden view. Went with 5 days of base tickets for 8 night stay, 2 people... looking forward to a few days relaxing by the pool, Downtown Disney, mini-golf, and exploring. FD saves $900, free airline tickets (credit card points) saves $700. At $2298 the trip is still expensive, but should be fun!

So I got off the phone 45 minutes ago and the CM said she would send a confirmation email but I never got it and my Disney reservations are showing my upgraded view but no free dining. Should I be freaking out? I don't want to hold up the lines for other people if it takes a while to show up-does anyone know? Thanks!

I already got my e-mail with all the details. The Disney website does not say anything about the promotion ... maybe that's the reason is not showing to you. If I was you I would like to be sure.

 

[2lovebugs]

Thank you for all the info! I just have to wait untill Thursday of I can! I wish the LM Rooms were included but that is okay. Now just hoping we can get All Start Movie on Thursday!

 

[jklatham]

Tried to get FD for 2 bed villa in BLT and it was a no-go. Is there a chance this will open up Thursday? We already have our reservations and I was scared to change to two adjoining rooms, thinking the 2 bed villa may open up. Thoughts??

The Disney website will not show the offer until sometime Thursday. It will be listed only on the Disney Visa site here, but not until later today...
