Free Dining 2013

[Hamill04]

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.

Just got my email, breathing again!

Just to clarify, AoA Finding Nemo suites not available; still had Lion King and Cars.

Bummer! We have Nemo booked, hopefully they add some when they release more Thursday, I'd be more than happy with Lion King or Cars too though! Congrats!

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?

All Star Movies
Coronado Springs standard, water view, and preferred
Port Orleans Riverside

We are already booked for the LM room, but we are now going to have to go with a backup option since it is not available so we are looking at POP and doing an upgrade on dining. Can't do anything till Thursday though. So fingers crossed. Our second backup would be CSR, but I'm not sure about the distance walking and time to wait for the buses. Any thoughts would be appreciated. My husband has a disability and walking all day in the parks and then a long walk to the room is a lot. We stayed in the 80's building last time at POP so if I could get an approximation of distance using that as a reference that would be great. Thanks again for the help.

Excellent info, thanks

So it looks like we will be switching from LM room at AOA to POP. Confirmed this AM that it will be released to GP on the 9th. Bummed that we have to switch resorts, but extactic for the free dinning.

My MDE doesn't show our reservation any more, and I lost a few if my dining reservations too? Strange? I'll try and be patient .... I am not too worried about the resort reservation not showing, knowing the system needs to update, but what about the dining?? BOG is among those that are no longer showing....a bit concerned :/

The computer system has been glitching this morning. Should be ok.

If you book at All Star Movies and request the Mighty Ducks section, you will literally be across the sidewalk from the All Star Music bus stop and food court - and that will save you some major walking . Plus the All Stars are super cute, they are our favorite value.

Only on hold 2 minutes and now the chaos begins. I had a Bounceback at CSR booked. I want to change to POP and QS since half our party is now not coming. Rather OOP for a few table. WELL ..... they wouldn't just book my Disney FD package for same name/dates then let me cancel other, they want to adjust the other reservation and now been spinning wheels for 20 minutes so far and now back on hold for another department .......

I forgot to say in my earlier post, THANK YOU to everyone who helped keep the faith, posted information for us, answered thousands of questions and who are celebrating alongside us! I love this board!!

Sometimes 24 hours to update, especially on a crazy day like FD promo day.

The My Disney Experience site or app is not doing a good job showing the details of reservations, so I would not worry about that right now. If you are getting a confirm and invoice email from the Walt Disney Travel Company, that is what you want to check for any issues.

I also would not worry about dining reservations being lost -- those are reserved separately from your resort reservations. Unless you asked the CM to work on your dining reservations when you switched to free dining, those should not be touched by any changes to your resort reservation.

Thank you we haven't really considered the All Stars because we heard the buses are slow, what is your take on that?

I was able to add free dining to my POFQ reservation, standard view. I did not have to upgrade to river view.
