Free Dining Fall 2015? (and a whole lot more)

[disneyfantotheend]

Am I getting excited for nothing?

Maybe. I mean you certainly could get another pin code this year, but there is no way the CM on the phone could know that for sure. I hope you do though!!!

Does anyone know when the park hours will be released for late October? When I look at the overview of all the parks, the last day posted is October 21st but when I look at each park individually, the cut-off is October 11th....

Does anyone remember how quickly after pins started appearing that the offers were released?
Why I'm asking is... It's already the middle of April and we haven't heard of a single pin offer that anyone has gotten... If may 2-7 is going to happen like last year I would have thought pins might start appearing???? Thoughts?

so my friend has gotten "unique offer codes" for room discounts or hopper passes only no free dining. My concern is I have gotten absolutely nothing. It may not be my year...but hopefully someone else's.

Is it for fall though? Becuase I received that deal for Summer time.

I got the FD pin last year, but it didn't arrive in my email until the day the offer went public 5/9 (a week after the Visa offer was available 5/2).

I have followed this thread and others like it very closely for the past three years. I was actually very surprised to hear that there were PIN codes for FD released before the Visa FD offer last year because I don't recall anyone talking about them beforehand. I think if they are, it must be very few (and one of the previous posters had gotten one before Visa release!). It seems like most of them were released shortly after the public release (or at least the past three years).

How are the Visa offers released? Do Visa holders receive a mailing or email?

Usually an email, but not until later on in the day. Your best bet is to keep checking back here.

Some do, but usually not until well after the deal goes live. You will hear about it here or on other planning sites first.

I keep checking back to this thread to hear any new rumors

Rumors will likely only come from CMs this year. Disney has cracked down on outside sources.

oh right good point it was the summer. I did not get it though so you may be good to go for fall too!!!

So I heard. Still the anticipation is killing us

I also received the room discount/free park hopper code for this summer. It's my first time receiving one. I hope it's a positive sign that more will come

Hi!

Someone here from the UK following along!

We have finally decided to go back to Orlando this November, and are looking at CBR from around the 8th. Quite flexible on dates at the moment.

I've done a bit of Disney maths based on a non-discounted standard room at CBR and free dining would do better for the two of us. Even a 40% discount at today's rate would be a saving of $845 versus the free dining at $1213 approx. If we opted for a Pirate room again (which my husband loved) the difference in savings would be minimal; $1118 v $1213 for the dining plan.

We stayed at CBR last December and had free dining and it was fab! No worries about what things cost etc. but we did have a few QS credits left at the end which we used to buy sweets and treats to bring home.

I hope I have my maths correct!

Only snag for us is that our ADR window opens up around May 11th, but we will be at Disneyland Paris! It's going to be a pain trying to book my ADRs on my phone without missing one. I really want BoG and CRT again!

Oh, if only I had your dilemma! Happy trails to you!

If a resort/room type is full for your fall dates, what are the chances that it will open up for your dates so you could switch? We're hoping for AoA little mermaid rooms, but I've been watching them for over a week and nothing. I figure some people will switch resorts when the promos come out for fall. We have never stayed there and have never had trouble with a resort filling up this far ahead of our stay. Any thoughts?

Does Disney hold back rooms and release them in waves? Our plan is a moderate with free dining or RO discount. If nothing works for our dates we would prefer AoA LM rack rates.

Really, I must have missed that. I wonder why they did that!? Was there a thread about it?
