Free Dining 2014 Discussion

Free Dining for Everyone!!!

So your adding FD President to your resume???

 

[ottawamom]

Too funny Joe. I'm impressed you did that so quickly. It just took me a half hour to figure out how to add a ticker to my signature. Usually I have to ask my kids how to do things on the computer.

If you insist...

Cut it out.

Laying here miserable in the midst of allergy asthma hell, but you guys are making me laugh.

Any new "scoops" on projected ranges for Late Summer Free Dining Dates?

 

[PixiePrincesses]

Are CSR Junior Suites typically excluded from FD?

 

[Diz Crazy]

If you insist...

You all make me laugh so hard!!!! THANK YOU! ;-)

 

[tink&her2boys]

Just dropping in to let everyone know that we're getting multiple sources dropping the 21st date. At this point we have at least three independent sources dropping that date.

More to come...

Thank you Joe!!!

If my memory serves me correctly it seems like we saw a lot of odd things with availabilities of certain types of rooms last year right before free dining was offered. Seems like when they are getting offers ready availability is all over the board. Anyone else remember anything similar?

I'm curious too. Didn't follow last year, but nothing like this in 2012. I assume people must be booking hoping for FD. Was hoping to go to CSR as well; it will be a rush on the lonely moderate that may get included then.

Hope no one minds that I join in!! I've been patiently following along and enjoying everyone's posts. We are heading back to the World September 6th- 13th and FD would put the icing on the cake for us. I'm not really worried as I feel that FD is coming...but it doesn't hurt to have a little faith, trust and pixie dust that we will all get FD for the dates that were hoping for

So glad I found someplace for people who like to plan their vacations as much as I do!!!

It surely makes me feel at home here! All these lovers of Disney trip planning!!!

 

[CaperTiff]

Love getting home from work to such amazing news !!! Whoop ! Don't let us down now Disney !

 

[Shadowcat70]

Getting so excited! We won't be able to go until the 3rd week of October, which means I am not counting on being included in this next round of offers. BUT we are remaining hopeful that the round after this one will be some pixie dust for all us October planners out there! A September announcement makes October more real!

Assuming Monday is THE day.... will this impact my ability to make my ADR's on the same day?? I'll be 180 days out, and not sure if the FD chaos will lead to huge wait-times for ADR's...not sure how this all works.

AND... September FD seems locked and loaded. Black, how confident are you that October will be offered too? Just looking for a little hope

 

[utlegaleagle]

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I would be thrilled if the dates released look like they did in 2012. If it mirrors a late final date of September 29, I would be ecstatic since our first date is September 28th this go around...

Now I'm picturing Oprah yelling "YOU GET FREE DINING AND YOU GET FREE DINING! EVERYONE GETS FREE DINING!"

Thank you for all the great info., Joe, and for making the free dining wait so much fun. We are a family of 5 waiting for FD at POR, so every bit of info. helps.

If it isn't fun, then what fun is it?

Still working through data, it wasn't as clear cut of an answer as I hoped.

More to come....though probably not tonight.

 

[Smile4Me]

First time chiming in! I am sooo excited! We started looking into dates for a September trip. I am finishing my Master's Degree and graduating in May and my husband said I could book when I'm done. Unless free dining is available- and then I can book on the spot!

Hopefully I can book sooner than graduation!!

Thanks Joe for all the time and effort you put into all of this! I would feel completely lost right now without yours and everyone else's insightfulness! Is that even a word anyways thanks so much!

 

[ecross23]

So excited! The 21st can't get here quick enough.
Love reading this thread daily.
