Free Dining 2014 Discussion

[HBGdancermom]

A little Off Topic....About room rates...
My 2 friends and I are going to run the Princess Half Marathon next February. I was calling trying to get an idea of pricing and heard 2 different answers. Shocking I know....
We are looking at staying at YC or BW. I will be doing a RO reservation soon with the one nights deposit to hold the room. (Hoping for that 30% discount to come out in Oct...) If I just do the one night's deposit and new rack rates come out in July do I have to pay the new 2015 rate? or if I go ahead and pay for all the nights and will I get to keep the 2014 rack rate? But then when I hopefully try to apply the hopeful discount I am hoping for.... will I then be subject to the price increase for 2015?
As far as tickets go....same thing...should I buy them this year to avoid higher prices?
Thanks much!!!

If you buy tickets you will lock in current rates but it may exclude you from other promotions. Booking when 2015 is available locks you in at the rate that day, not sure about discounts or if it is available yet.

I wonder if the will just go "rogue" on us one day and bring out FD at 2:33 PM on a Tuesday afternoon. That'll show us~

Shhh they read these boards. Don't give them any ideas. Lol

 

[figmentswife]

Any word if free dining is coming out to visa holders today

 

[JenDisFan02]

Yeah, any word?

 

[black562]

Yeah, any word?

Not today. Which, it wasn't really expected, but better safe than sorry.

Now we will see if the Monday date holds true...

I gotta tell ya, the "mid-April" source is hereby fired.

It was 7:35am before I remembered to check this thread so I'm kind of glad it wasn't today! Now we wait until Monday to try again, and keep obsessively running numbers for 4 more days, lol.

If FD isn't released until May 1st, this thread will probably hit 250 pages.

If it was released today it would probably hit 250 pages..... in the 1st hour after the release!!

I hope for all of you waiting with baited breath that Monday is the day ..... I am leary about Monday though - would they really release such a popular discount the day after a major holiday on a day that is a wraparound holiday for so many?

It's based on the information we have, which is all we can do. There are three citings of "working overtime" on Monday. There is one citing of "working overtime" on May 1st as well. Overtime is a serious clue of when promos are coming since they know when phones will be busy. May 1st could very well be Halloween party ticket release as well.

I'll tell you this...the days of having detailed info two weeks out are over. This time, one has to be a sleuth to read the leaves. But we are at least in the home stretch.

With the exception of a time or two, we go through this sort of thing. A few people panic, but that's the worst thing to do. Patience is key when awaiting a deal like this. I've been doing this for many years and I see panic build until the release hits, followed by a big sigh of relief at the end.

Morning,

Sorry if this a stupid question. How do you know when the DVisa offers are released? Is it on my statement or on line?

Thanks,
Beth

I'm excited but not panicked. We are going with or w/o free dining (WDW, you didn't hear that!!).
But..... of course, FREE food for 5 people would be a terrific bonus!

Black562 I think it is so great you spend your time helping all of us stay up with the best deals! I have my fingers crossed for free dining too. Hope Disney gives it up soon.
