What is the best way to book when free dining becomes available? online? call in?
I haven't booked anything yet as we won't be going unless free dining becomes available, and i am a firm believer that if they have enough bookings they won't need the promo to draw people in. Really hoping for POP, end of September.

Online! Phones are always insane. Can't book the Visa offer online, though. You have to call.

Interesting about the chip and Company post. I would be quite surprised if free dining came out this early and in such close proximity me with the summer discounts.

As soon as it is on the website, which can vary, but 7am by phone.

So from reading this thread am I understanding this right that you can only make some ADRs without the dining plan being on your reservation?

I believe my adrs open may 18ish but I didn't put a dining plan on our account. Hoping free dining comes out early May again for all through the winter like last year. We are going the week before thanksgiving.....

But if it doesn't what restaurants are the ones the would require us to pay ahead? I know CRT is one...

Anyone predicting all the dates to come out together first week of May again? I know some ppl are hoping just didn't know if any rumors were out yet

You can make any ADR without a dining plan. You just have to pay in full for CRT and the dinner shows if you don't link them to a plan at the time of booking. No solid date rumors yet.

I'm with you on that one. We haven't booked yet either, even though we will go whether free dining gets offered for our dates or not. I'm not going to spoil it for everyone else though. Besides, why not hang back and give them an incentive to give you an offer.

I would too, but I'm wondering if there's a decrease in travel due to the oil prices tanking? I live in Houston and since our economy is so dependent upon the oil industry there have been a lot of layoffs. Perhaps they're going to expand their discounts a bit this year? Fingers crossed.

I'm with both of you. Holding off on booking but my ADR window opens in just under 12 hours from now and I hate not knowing for sure where I'll be. May we all get what we want!
