Free Dining is Back!!! August 13 - September 30

[QueenT]

I just tried booking it online and it said I had to have an arrival date on or before 9/29?? Did you book through an agent?

I called the main reservations number & booked it over the phone. Your note scared me so I just called & double checked, yes, I have free dining from 9/30 through 10/8.

Phew!

I just saw this thread this morning and ran right out to AAA to book a trip for September. The total came to a couple hundred dollars more than what I had calculated-- can anyone tell me if this price I was quoted sounds accurate:

6 nights AKL savanna view
2 adults, 3 children (1 of them under 3 years)
6 day base tickets
Free dining plan
Total with AAA discount $2698


When I figured it out at home, this is what I got:

Resort $285/night, 6 nights: $1620.65 (savannah view, 15% AAA discount, includes 11.5% tax)
$215.13/adult, $174.66/child: $779.58 (6 day base tickets including tax)
Dining: free
Total $2400.23

Nearly a $300 difference. I double-checked and the quote is without insurance. What could the reason for such a big difference be? Thanks.

You dont get the AAA discount if you get Free Dinning. Thats the difference.

Is that the reason? Gee, you'd think that Disney would have mentioned that when my AAA agent and I were questioning the price. I was sitting right there at her desk while she was on the phone, and the CM never indicated there was no AAA discount. Thanks for clarifying!
