Free Dining Oct-Dec Is Here!! Dates Confirmed!!! ~ Part 2

[Dinsey2013]

So is this part of the website incorrect:

"
Get a free dining plan when you purchase a non-discounted 6-night/7-day Magic Your Way package (includes room and theme park tickets) at select Disney Resort hotels. This offer can be booked through September 15, 2013 and is valid for arrivals most nights:
"

I saw the same thing and asked earlier. Someone said it is just an example. I already had 5 nights booked. I called and added the FD and she kept repeating my days to confirm and would say " for 5 nights". I got my free dining and she never said anything about the amount of days.

 

[hellokelli]

They always give that as an example. It's a minimum of 3 nights and 2 day tickets.

Thank you!! I was worried!

Hour and 22 minutes on hold...got through to wonderful CM...

Saved $900 with FD offer for our stay...Awesome!

More money for Souvenirs, Dole Whips and Grand Marnier Slushies!!

If i add a 2 day ticket can I upgrade to an AP, when i get there?

Yes. Just head to guest relations when you get into a park.

Correction alert - FD Saved me $1814

I am so happy right now

And so tired.

 

[keeks]

At this rate I'll be staying off site. I can't get through on the phone. Got rooms at CBR online, but it won't process the payment page.

I've been at this for 1.5 hours and it's starting to seem pointless; and I'm getting angry at Disney...

One hour and thirty minutes on hold to modify POR ressie....getting discouraged as I'm watching the availability tick away online...water view no longer available at CSR...king and king preferred only remaining....

 

[babydoll65]

I just spoke with my mom and she's been on hold for an hour and a half

Me, too! I was all set to go to bed at midnight and then they put the offer online. Ended up staying up until 1:30.

I've been trying to get through for an hour and either receive a busy signal or "all circuits are busy". I currently have reservations for POR but am worried there won't be any FD availability when I finally get through. I booked another reservation online at CBR and got the free dining offer with no problem. Just going to cancel original reservation when I can finally reach a person. Free dining for a family of four makes the switch a big WIN for us! Yay!

can't you cancel the first reservation online? All you need is your reservation number.

 

[Tinker12]

Yes! After being on hold for 1 hour 15 minutes, I was able to upgrade from POFQ to Cabins. Saved around $600!! No issues with pulling my ressie and changing. The system was slow though. Need to change my sig now to the cabins!

Good luck to everyone!

working on being on hold for an hour and 36 mins

Just rebooked our three rooms online(that was fun). I will call to cancel the others later today. This is worse than Black Friday. I still have to link flights and do a few more things. That saved us a ton of money as we are paying for both sets of grandparents. I hope they enjoy the trip with their granddaughter.

Well apparently my TA is still sleeping because I sent her an email as soon as the FD was released and I haven't received an email yet from her She should be ontop of this this morning...never again

Hope it works out.....

Got it!! Pop Century, standard room Nov 23-Dec 1st So excited that we got it for Thanksgiving week!!!!

Congrats! Got mine at Pop too!

Finally got through. No POR for our dates so we'll stay at CSR ~ there was a Royal Guest Room when I first checked this morning and I should have snagged it then but I wanted to check other resorts. When I came back it was gone. Oh well, I've got over 3 months to fall in love with CSR ~ at least I'm going to Disney on FREE DINING!!!!

Congrats on the FD, sorry no POR, but love your attitude

We are good!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you!

I'm all switched to POP for free dining!! I am sad to give up my little mermaid room, but its totally worth the savings! Woohoo! 61 days!!

I agree, you'll love Pop!

Woohoo! First time posting in this thread but have been lurking for MONTHS! Was on hold for 43 minutes and only on with CM for 7 but got free dining at All Star Sports which was not showing availability online for FD. I am a happy momma and heading back to bed on this rainy morning!

Thanks to this thread for the heads up and good luck to everyone waiting! CM said there was 583 in line when I mentioned how busy they must be today!

Congrats!

Those were my original dates. Changed to the 17 and got it.

Congrats!!

Wait wasn't too bad (about 16 minutes...called right at 7am). Got Pop Oct.19-26th yay FD!!!
Had CM River, she was excellent & very fast/efficient!
Good luck everyone!! Hope every wish is granted & everyone gets what they want!!

Wow, 16 minutes, that's lucky! Glad you got it. We're at Pop too!

No. You must call to cancel or modify existing reservations.

Was on hold this morning but had to hang up to leave for work. Couldn't get through when I tried to call back. I'm at work and can't stay on the phone all day so I booked a new res online. Took less than 5 min and we're finished. We did change resorts since our original res is at POFQ. I'll call back later to cancel the other res. So excited. I'm also SO grateful to those who shared the info in the first place.....it saved our family over $1200. We would never be able to take such a great trip without this deal. Thank you!!!!!

 

[VeeHam]

So after screwing up earlier and hanging up when I initially heard music because it said they were having technical difficulties and calling back for over an hour just to hear a busy signal, I finally went online and booked our two rooms. Not what I wanted to do since I already have a ressie and just wanted to switch dates. Now I will call back later today and see if they can move my original ressie to the new date and I can cancel my ressies I made this morning.
