Free Dining Card For Ap Members!

[angey77]

The CM told me it would be waiting for me at check-in. I asked "Is it a gift card?" and he said yes. Now if it is attached to the room key or a another card, I'm not sure. I didn't ask about all the specifics of where it can be used. We have so many ADRs at sit-downs that I know we will use it in one shot.

I was just told by the cast member helping me with the AP discount, that there is an unpublished "special" for AP members staying certain days in OCT, NOV, and DEC.



The info is right on the AP site. After you sign in - click on Special Offers - then it is entitled "Tasty Deal - Resort Discounts". I found the info this am, since I thought it might be faster to book on the website instead of being on hold for 40 minutes to talk to a CM.
I actually ended up just calling in case I had to play around with my dates - only on hold for about 10 min at around 8:15 am!!!

See ya in October

I just changed our Pop reservations from AAA to AP for Dec 13th to 18th, and they added the Disney Dining AP promotion.
Thanks for the heads up.

Lucky Ducks! I tried to do that with ours from Dec. 12-16 and the CM couldn't get it to work. No AP discounts at Pop.

Oh my gosh, Thank You!
I was not told this am when I booked my reservation. Called back a couple of minutes ago and a wonderful cm said they have to apply a code to your reservation, which she did and I now have a $75.00 dining card waiting on my room key at check-in.

Today was a very good day.

I asked about the details of where we could use the dining card.
She said the card had to used within 15 days of first check-in, so if your resort hopping you should still be able to use it, on into your stay w/in the 15 days.
She said anywhere they accept charge cards, they would accept the card.
I had asked if both sit down and counter service would accept the card, and thats when I got the speil about charge cards.
I'm guessin the snack carts that take cash wouldn't take it.
She also said it could be used for alcohol beverage!!

Thanks so much for asking zumbergc. This just keeps getting better and better. The discounts weren't too deep but this dining card offer is pretty darn nice.

Thanks to you too cobbler. You always respond so quickly and are so helpful.

Now, do they accept charge cards at the food courts? (where my family seems to hang out when we're staying at the moderates.)

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!! Just got off the phone, second call today but after much thought and my DH firmly telling me that he would NOT pay rack rate I changed our 12-16 to 12-22 ressie @ WL SV to POFQ 12-14 to 12-19 with the AP rate of $105 pn and got the $50 FREE dining card! I really hated to give up the WL but the savings was just too much to pass on. I would have held out longer but I had 3 CM's tell me today that they did not think that an AP or FL rate would ever apply to my dates. The last CM tried AP and FL rates and there was nothing for WL plus they are using the new pricing policy and some of our dates were in the dreaded Holiday rate . No problem, we love the FQ and we can think of all sorts of ways to spend that extra $$$. GOOD LUCK to everyone still trying to get just the right ressie and rates!!!

 

[GoofyWalker]

thanks, called to check my ressie for Oct, and Dining Card is on there!! Not a huge thing at a value resort, but every $ helps!

She also said it could be used for alcohol beverage!!

That might be the most beautiful sentence I have ever read!

We have APs and are going in Oct. during the promotional dates, but our room isn't booked with an AP discount. Would we still qualify for the dining card?

Thanks!

wdwcoltsfan! I have the same question. I have a room booked with the 40% discount (still cheaper than the AP rate), but will have an AP. I guess I will call in the morning and inquire. I would have two nights at the holiday rate, so any "savings" with the $50 card would be eaten up by the holiday pricing.

But it would be lovely if we could just note that we are AP holders and get the card. Unlikely, but lovely.

 

[wdwcoltsfan]

We actually fall within the dates for a Dec. stay at WL, too. I tried to get an AP rate for it this morning, but was unable. I'll keep checking to see what opens up. I can't tell if the dining card is linked to an AP discounted room or if it's a promotion on it's own.

I have to tell everyone that this round of AP discounts has really confused the heck out of me. It has also seemed to confuse some of the CMs at CRO as well.

I found out that there are other codes involved other than the published FEX and FDV codes. The CM I just spoke with gave me FFB and FFC. She said FFB is an AP code for value resorts for the free dining card and FFB was for moderate and deluxe AP codes with the dining card. These codes were totally new to me. What was even more strange was that these codes opened up different AP discounts at other resorts.

For example FEX had only Beach Club available, but when she plugged in FFC Coronado Springs became available with the dining card. I couldn't believe it because I didn't see any trace of the codes published on the DIS. Maybe I missed it though.

I would also add that I'm completely disappointed with the available AP rates. Resorts are very limited in what they are making available to AP holders. I hope this is a one time instance and doesn't become a trend for future AP rates.

I hope so too!!! Our party usually stays at OKW & have been able to use the AP discount. Trying BWV for our November trip. No discounts available at BWV for our dates, but we're keeping it!!!!

The AP Dining card has been described as elligible by checking in between certain dates, but I was told this afternoon by CM that the 2 minimum days must be between those dates. For example, a check-in on Nov 17th (end of a period) does not qualify but Nov 16th would. Oh well.

True, I called two days ago and switched my room only rate to the Disney Visa rate. I called back yesterday to get a quote for the AP code. The Disney Visa code was cheaper (even having to buy a one day MYW ticket), so I kept my Disney Visa code. I then asked her if since I had an AP if I could get the free dining card. She said she didn't think so, but let her check. She put me on hold for a long time, but finally came back and said no that the free dining card was only for those who booked a room using the AP code. She said they were codes within the AP code, if that makes sense.

Thanks you two for the answers. Saves me time, and a call to Disney! Too bad. But I'm keeping my 40% rate. I got POFQ at $97.88/night including tax. If I switched to the AP rate, I'd be looking at $111.38/night for five nights and HOLIDAY pricing for the last two. NO THANK YOU. Now if I could add a couple nights at the beginning, drop a couple nights at the end, and get WL it might be different. But I don't see that happening!

Boy, what a long day yesterday was. First I called with the first code hoping to get a discount for my stay December 9th through the 15, and I was only offered the Pop Century, Port Orleans, and Animal Kingdom. Now mine you all great hotels and have stayed in all of them. I had reservations for the Woods View at WL and though the savings would have been a great plus at the Animal Kingdom...the construction really was a turn off, especially at Christmas.

So, I said no thankyou... nothing like Christmas at the WL. I called later in the day hoping for some Disney Magic to be sprinkled on me, still no luck.

Well they say third times the charm and I called and talked to a wonderful castmember by the name of BobbyJoe, she took my information and than said well the computer only shows a discount for the Wilderness Lodge for the Court Yard View...it felt like getting the Golden Key...I took it and ended up saving nearly 800 dollars...then she tells me that because I was staying from the 9th to the 15 I was also getting a 75 dollar dining card. WOW

I was so glad to call back the third time. Especially since this will be my our honeymoon and my wife's first time staying in the Park at Christmas time with all the decorations.

Boy, I just cannot wait until December 9th.

I just tacked on two extra days with the AP/free $100 dining card at SSR for 12/13-12/16. It's a studio room for total $370 (two nights) so I figure I'll count the $100 dining card to make the "real" room rate $270 for two nights. We've never tried SSR and I thought it sounded like a great deal!---Kathy

 

[nelle]

Does anyone know if it is one card per ressie? Or for example we have two rooms booked would we get two cards??
Thanks,
