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

[KDisneyGirl]

Coronado has " junior suites", and also a fitness center and buisness class similar to club level at deluxes.

Thank you!

How long can you get free dining for? We are going for two weeks for the first time this year. We can get free dining for the full two weeks if our dates fall within the deal, correct?

Hey, guys, remind me--with the DV offer, can I book a room for someone with their name as the lead, give all their info and kids info, and still pay with MY DV for the $200 deposit even though neither myself or my wife would be booked in that room? I know in the past that I have booked three rooms with me in one of the rooms, but never tried booking something for someone else without me booking for me at the same time (we have a bounce back offer and are already booked).

I would like to know this also..I am already booked with a free dining bounce back also and would like to book a room for my sisters family with my Disney visa... Anyone ever done this?

Getting into the "junior suites" at Coronado is challenging. I searched for the whole month we are planning to go and couldn't find one week that it was available. I'm going November, so you might have a better chance. Just wanted to give you a heads up!

At least

My TA and I were emailing back and forth about the Disney Visa Card, and when I asked her about Free Dining, she replied:

"Anything new probably won’t come out till after June 15, when the deal they are doing now ends."

I really hope that's not what they're going to do, the thought of having to wait another month and a half is torture...

At least for the September FD, would seriously doubt this.

...I have a few questions...1. I have an active AP that...

1. Correct...

Thanks for your replies...

On a side note, Disney should seriously hire you to be their Social Media director, or at the very least put you in the Disney Mom's Panel...

I was told in order to book a room for the BB offer, one of the current occupants has to be lead on any rooms for the offer. We were hoping to book 2 rooms next Spring using a BB offer this fall...(if it works out that what we want is offered)... but since our room this fall with be occupied by my husband and myself, the only way to do it would be to have him as lead on one room, and me on lead for the other. Since next Spring's trip is a "girls only" trip, it won't work...hopefully, I can still get a discount, or free dining on one of the rooms, and then book the other when we return - and put in a request for adjoining rooms. We'll see...have to wait until we get there to see what is offered for BB...

Historically (at least for the past 4 years as that's as long as I've been going in the late summer/fall and booking the BB) the BB offered at that time is for the late summer/early fall of the following year, not a spring BB.

Better % off than a public offer for the room discount bounceback, and more eligible check in dates for the late summer free dining bounceback.

Oh, that sounds good. Of course you would have to know when u are coming back again. Hmmmm....something to think about! Another vacation planning session! Love it!

OMG....let's hope that TA was way off base!

 

[ThistleMae]

Oh...one more bounce back questions...please. Do you have to book at the same resort to get the BB offer?

Nope, you can book any resort included in the BB.

Hopefully your TA is full of crap!

I need to know which dates to take off for my honeymoon

I am just finding out about the rumors and am so excited! FINALLY!

I have priced out trips at Pop, CBR and POR and POFQ even though I know the last two will be typically excluded. CBR and POR are $345 more with everything total (POFQ was $95 more than POR...I don't know if it's typical for that resort to be a little more expensive than POR?). We wouldn't normally be able to stay at a moderate without free dining so even though it's a bit more expensive than Pop, I'm excited to finally be able to stay at a mod! (Maybe this is Disney's purpose of offering free dining...to get people to experience the mods and deluxes so that's where they stay on future trips...call me a sucker if so!). I have a Disney Visa so, if the rumors are true, will be on the phone right at 7am on Monday!

YAY!

 

[Aubrav]

OMG us too. We are going back down to value starting this year after many tries at moderate. We are just getting 2 rooms now that we are a family of 5. I can't stand that at the moderates, you can be the first at the bus stop, and you will always get the group of 10 that get there right before the bus shows up and be the first to jump on, and all the people shoving on to a bus that is already 3/4 full when it pulls up.

All this talk of inconsiderate bus passengers... I can't believe people do that. I mean, we've been trained since we were old enough to walk about lines and waiting your turn. I hate to say it but that's a huge pet peeve of mine and would probably take away a little bit if the Disney magic. There's always one or two in a crowd that can't follow rules but y'all make it sound like it's the majority

As a result I also really like the line corrals at POP now.

 

[ThistleMae]

Nope, you can book any resort included in the BB.

So....let me get this right. You can book any resort. There is a specific list of resorts in the BB offer. And....will they specifically tell you what the savings will be? Thank you in advance....you have been very helpful!

Did you know the kids can ask the drivers of the buses and boats for transportation cards? Actually, I don't know if they still do this but last time I was there with a kid she asked and they still had the cards (this was about 4 years ago though). They're like baseball cards with pictures of the different buses and boats. I don't think it's wildly popular because several of the drivers said they were out - but if your daughter loves the buses it's worth asking!

That's awesome. I will definitely need to check that out for her!!!

If this is true I think I'll cry.

In order to get a room for next Spring, you will have to travel in mid to late Nov or Dec of this year.
