Free Dining And ADR's

[Irish Goofy]

Hi All
Wondering can anybody help with advice.Have booked the family(5 in total) to go in August for 16 days with Free Dining.Is there someway other than phoneing USA at cost of €2.00 per min or so,to book ADR's.Also will they be necessary or do the restaurants really be that booked up.16 days of Free Dining is a lot of ADR's and would take a long phone call to USA.Am living in Ireland so any advice would be great.

when I last booked adr's my phone call was really cheap and i was so worried that it was going to cost a fortune. something like £1.20 for 1/2hr.

you can't book then yet anyway, as it is 90 days before arrival now. and the newly long awaited online adr system might be working by then

Ring 0844 861 7878, and then 001 407 939 3463 (Disney Dining).

This will only cost you 1p per minute rather than ridiculous overseas charges.

if you booked through uk disney then you can call their number but i think its 0870 so might be cheaper to ring the us number

For ringing any number in US, not just Disney, I use Telediscount http://www.telediscount.co.uk/accessnumbers.php
Costs 1p/minute or there are many more here on Martin Lewis' site http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/

Not sure how you go on from Ireland, there must be similar companies there if you can't use these access numbers.

Free dining was offered by tour ops or direct with Disney.co.uk, for this year you had to book between 20 Aug and 4 Nov 2008(extended to early Dec) for stays 2 Aug – October 3, 2009. valid in participating hotels only

See this page that has not been removed for Thomas cook, gives you all info of what was available http://www.tcsignature.com/Pages/Static/Offers/Disney.html

In addition to this offer they also gave a 44% discount at either OKW or SSR.
We booked 16 nights OKW, 2 ad + 1 teen, 3 x 21 day tix for £2,164 day after the offer finished price jumped upto £4,000, same package on disney.com is almost £6,000.

Too late to book it this year, only chance is if disney.com offer free dining but as you see above with our package it would have to be some offer to match what was available on .co.uk

People are now waiting for this August and hoping they offer similar deals for next year.
