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

[ELSA711]

Usually a website will drop the specifics, like Chip & Co. or Mousesavers and someone will post it here.

Thanks! Last year I spent an hour on hold and an hour sorting through the dates and resorts because ours didn't fall in line. We just ended up keeping what we had. I'd love a deal this year!! We had the best trip ever last year with the introduction of FP+ we couldn't wait to go back.
We usually do ever other year

Thankfully our daughter's favorite part of the vacation is the buses! Don't know why. The kid isn't deprived by any means but she just loves the thrill of trying to get "her" seat on the bus (she likes the back row corner).

My kids love the bus and music playing too! We stay at POR and my DH puts the music on his iPhone to play all year for us.
We have issues.

April 23rd is what is being reported in the UK Forum. But that will not be available to us state side residents. UK offer historically starts before the US offer.

Well at least tomorrow we may get dates and resorts available if UK and US have been historically similar.

@smitch425 can you confirm if the UK free dining deal is usually the same as the US one? As in, same resorts available, same black out dates, same start date , etc.?

If you have a split stay, one day then seven, you can call and make your ADRs for the whole trip today. Just have both confirmation numbers handy.

Try calling them. We had a one night stay last year and they made all my reservations for me for the full week when I called.

I did call, but I will try again after work. Maybe a different CM will give me a different answer. Thanks!

I know it's unlikely, but I am really hoping that they offer FD starting on 8/23. I have read a few different places that bookings are down and that they might do it earlier. We are going 8/21-8/28 at POR no matter what but if FD came out starting on 8/23 I would switch to 2 rooms and POP or a different location. Here's hoping, but not to much.

Question about the Disney Visa offers. How do Disney Visa holders find out about the offer. I'm a Disney Visa holder, been one for years, never got an email from them about an offer. Will it be on their website? On my account? Where?

 

[extravaganzamom]

I've been wondering the same thing...

I received a notice from Visa last year by email. I did not receive it until about 2 pm central time the day of VISA release! I knew about it here well before Visa notified me.

The UK deals are totally separate and are in no way indicators for US offers.

I've read in this thread that visa holders should receive an email but that it might be later in the day than when the offer is actually released. So the best thing is to check the website or call first thing in the morning to see if the offer is live.

Or check here.

 

[CK1734]

I normally hear about the offers here first, and then later in the afternoon I might get an email. This is the best place to get your information from.

 

[smitch425]

We should know by 7:05am if it has gone live on 4/27. The Visa deal will state the date it goes public once it is loaded on the rewards site.

Good to know. Thanks!

I sure hope not! I am waiting for my Disney Visa to get here!

Me too, applied today so hoping I get approved and it comes within the next few days.

I applied 2 days ago and got instant approval so I'm hoping my card shows up within the next few days. Some people reported getting it in 3 days and 5 days- fingers crossed!

Well, I'm going to be on this thread off and on all weekend! What if nothing happens?

It is really odd. there is this great sense of letdown. Happens every year when there is a false alarm.

I would reiterate MIGHT. I have not gotten the email more than I have gotten it. Find out all the info right here!

I just received (at 1:02 pm central) a PIN code for the summer offer. Up to 30% off and the park hopper add on. Not the free dining news I was hoping to hear, but good news that I'm still getting those PINS I guess.

Just a little side bar for everyone.... If you do call at 7am on Monday PLEASE let us know on this board the outcome It helps out alot to know if the FD promotion is released or not so a million people arent calling in for nothing or if it IS released knowing its worth being on hold for an hour lol

For sure. I told my husband last night that we were going to call on Monday morning from both of our phones and see who gets through first. He looked all crazy at me.
