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

[liv luvs disney]

YES, I got the news this morning and as soon as I can get in touch with DH to "okay" it, I am booking! In fact, if DH doesn't return my call in 5 minutes, I'm booking anyway!!!!! (Gotta figure out how to get the little Disney count down thingie?!?!)

I may have missed something, but if they are offering it for cardholders today, will they offer it to the public this Thursday?

Rumor is Monday, and rumors have been right so far.

I got it and am so happy. 14 nights of free dining is so awesome. Since my 40% off code got taken away, my ressie went up about 1,000 so I am basically going to feed a family of 6 for 14 nights for 1,000 which is about 70 a day. This works for me!!!

Now, my parents who are just two are wondering if they would have been better off with the pin code............arghhhhh......

14 days of free food! You couldn't even come close to feeding 6 people at WDW for $70 a day, even if you brought pop tarts for breakfast and ate McD's for every other meal--congratulations!

After all the work it took to get this deal, if my parents had second guessed me, I think I would have smacked them, lol!

I'm booked--I was allowed to book the deluxe dining, and I have until final payment is due to change it back to regular. Woo-hoo! Good luck everyone!

Where does AAA Canada show this, I can't see it!

It was in a leaked email. No official word with them yet.

Re: code

Per Disboards -

"RYI- Basic Dining

EEV- Deluxe Dining

UXQ- Deluxe Dining with Wine and Dine."

One word of caution for NON Disney Visa bookings on Monday - it is a very good chance that it might be a different set of codes for you.
A lot of time the DV codes are only for DV.

Happy booking everyone!

PS - at the time I booked, there was NO limit on rooms. Whether they were right or not, who knows, but I got FOUR rooms!

I just booked Pop Century w Deluxe Dining upgrade 10/3-10/9!

FYI - My CM just told me that they are having problems right now booking with the regular free dining plan and are asking people to call back. But those wanting deluxe plan are able to book. Maybe it's just a trick to get more people to upgrade!

Good luck everyone!

I've got a Disney rewards Visa through Chase(unused for 18 months) and have already booked at WL through my TA. Can I call to add on FD or does my agent need to?

Your agent needs to but call your agent and tell her

Just find a style you like, click on it and it will take you to a webpage where you will get directions on how to create your own. HTH

I am new at the free dinning and I am waiting for it on Monday.
The post above said

"RYI- Basic Dining

EEV- Deluxe Dining

UXQ- Deluxe Dining with Wine and Dine."

do you get to choose which dinning plan you want free?

 

[Cupmom]

Thats exactly what it say on mousesvers.com

 

[ruvidu]

We Got Ours.
We will be at CS 9/16 - 9/23. 2 rooms with Grands, Kids, and Grand Kids. We had made our ressies earlier for Oct.. We then heard about the free dinning and moved them to Sept. We just called and added the free dinning to the package for both rooms.
Good Luck to everyone else.

(Oh, and someone leave one measly POP room for me after Labor Day, okay? Thanks )

I'd like one too please!! While I am happy that you folks all get to book your rooms, I feel like crying cause I have to wait until monday. No disney visa card available in canada!

Hope I get a value with free dining or it will be offsite for me

Ok...so that is three measly POP rooms for the three of us!

And it is either value w/ free dining or no go for me. I probably should have booked it before I told my friend about it...

 

[Cupmom]

No the regular dining plan is free you have to pay the difference between the others.

 

[Stacied68]

That's how it was last year. As long as you check in before the promotion ends, it is good for your whole stay.

Have a great trip.

 

[hardingk]

2 agents later, 3 reservations later and FINALLY FD!!!

 

[trixiemuffin]

Finally!!!!!!! Looks like the code problem has been worked out; added FD to our previous ressie for POP 8/18-8/26!

Thanks everyone for all the great info!

 

[ZeroToHero]

I knew that!

Haha, it's okay. I thought today was Friday when I woke up, and was like "I missed it!"

 

[pinkerbell]
