Free Dining Watch 2009 - Dates Released!! Update post 1

[princess&her4princes]

I got my confirmation, too!!!

BUT...IT WAS WRONG!! It didn't show the Free Dining...

So, I called back and they said that they HAD added it...but it didn't show up on the confirmation. She is resending the confirmation.

Talk about stress...

Oh No!!!!!!!!!!! Glad it worked out though, I would have FREAKED!I got my confirmation but 2 mins. later got my invoice from the original trip I booked, not showing FD. Hmm...will wait a day and call back but still happy to have the free dining confirmation, at least.

Called right at 7am and got straight through. Had my existing reservation with a 40% off code changed to the FD code. Pop preffered Sept 19-26! Was worried I wouldn't be able to keep my preferred view room, but I was! My two friends who also have the same package booked were also able to add FD onto their ressie without having to change anything!

Hope everyone else also gets what they want.

PS. I think when I am there in September I will book a FD bounceback if it is offered. This was waaay to stressful!

Thanks to DIS for all the heads up and getting me through it!

That is a good idea about booking bounceback....even if you have to cancel, right??

Did it online, took 5 minutes. I'm not experienced with this, but online seems like the way to go.

That's the way I'm thinking of it.I'll just need the $200 deposit down before I leave. If I know that I can't do it next year then I will just cancel before the 45 day deadline and get my $200 back!

I asked that of the Disney CM this morning and he said probably not, but to be assured that I do have dining added. We were adding dining to an existing reservation.

Last year, we booked online and we did see the dining package, but we were simply not charged for it. Hope this helps!

I can't see the Free Dining either. I added the dinning to an existing reservation.

I AM BOOKED!!!!! This is indeed a Magical Day!!!!!


We are going September 24 - October 4f (first time doing 10 days)
I booked CBR preferred room......I am sooooo excited and can't wait to book MNSSHP!

Only with the deluxe dining plan I believe!

that is correct... you only get the refillable mug w/ the deluxe plan (or the QS plan, but I cant imagine you would downgrade? )... I am on the phone w/ a castmember and she's waiting for her puter to finish thinking, so I asked lol

I wonder if we can take our mugs from last month? We were there the day they switched mugs from the blue and white castle mug to the red, black and yellow mickey mugs. So I should be able to take it since its the new one? hmmm...


Now been on the phone 47 mins!

sorry guys I know that this has been asked before but I scrolled through tons of pages searching for the answer and couldnt find it.

I am a season pass holder so I purchased just the one day ticket per person requirement. I know the rules state that the tickets have to be used within 14 days of first use (if you have additional days), but does anyone know if the one day tickets I purchased expire?

Thanks!

I got my FD reservation this AM. Called in right at 7 and got through right away. I wanted a Deluxe room at WL or a 2 bedroom villa at WL but apparently these are not being offered as part of the FD promo. I could have booked the Deluxe room without free dining but I went for a 2 bed room villa at the Bay Lake Tower with FD for the same price. I really hope I did the right thing. I was looking forward to trying the WL and the CL that comes along with the Deluxe room there. However, the extra room and acess to the monorail will be nice....either way we will be at Disney...WooHoo

Our wonderful, awesome, fantastic travel agent got us free dining and we were able to stay at ASMu!! We're so excited!!! I feel the need for the dancing man!

How soon should I expect my confirmation email? I already had a reservation, but the CM said she would send an email stating we added free dining. I called at 7 and I am freaking because I dont have an email yet and its not showing up when I log onto my vacation on the website.
