Free dining if you check in before dates?

[dwsandy]

He new free dining dates were announced and my friend is going to be there during October. Her 2nd last day is October 26, which is one of the dates included. Will her whole trip get free dining since this date is included? They will be there Oct. 20-27. Thank you

Nope, she won't get any free dining. It all goes strictly by your check-in date. If check in date is within free dining period, you get it for the whole stay. If check in date is outside of free dining period, nothing.

No, your check-in date must be in the date range of the promo. Even if you check in on the last day of the promo, your whole trip is covered. But it doesn't work the other way around (like the situation you are describing).

You could do a split stay and get FD for the dates covered by the promo and regular reservation for the part that isn't.

Her check in date is within the promo dates. Promo dates are Oct 26- November 1. Her travel dates are Oct 20-27

Her check-in date is before the promo begins - so it's not included

. Ok I was hoping that wouldn't matter. Thanks for the info.

The check-in date is the only relevant date.

Her check in date is within the promo dates. Promo dates are Oct 26- November 1. Her travel dates are Oct 20-27

Her check in date is NOT within the promo. Check-in is October 20. Promo starts October 26.

It doesnt count if just ANY date of the stay falls within the promotion period, it must be specifically the date they arrive and check in to the resort. If they arrive on October 20, that is outside the offer. It does not matter that they will still be at the resort on the 26th; they will not get free dining at all even for the night of the 26th. To get any free dining at all, they would have to book two reservations, check out on October 26 and check back in, and they can't do that because by that time they will only have one night left on their stay, and you cannot book one night on free dining. It's a minimum of 3 nights.

They would have to change their entire schedule to arrive and check in on October 26 if they want free dining for their full stay.

You're right. i worded that wrong. I meant her stay was within the promo period.
