Got new confirmation for free dining & Photo Movie DVD is not on there now?!

[Magical JenK]

Anyone else have this "feature" (Photo Movie DVD) missing from their updated free dining package?

It was listed along with:

-Miniature Golf Voucher
-Planet Hollywood $15 Meal Voucher
-Sea Raycer Offer Voucher

on my original package confirmation & now that it's updated with free dining, it's gone?

Maybe it was because the package changed - it seems as though you must have had the free dining code applied to a package that you already had. I presume (and I know that can be a very bad thing to do) that the perks listed - free mini golf, meal voucher, etc. - were the perks added for the prior package.

I just don't believe that Disney allows codes to be stacked on top of each other - if that is the case only the new perks - free dining - would be in effect.

I am pretty sure you still get the same perks (we did last year anyway) but might want to double check. Interested to find out as well

Bummer! Just contacted my TA & she said that it's not part of the amenities on the free dining promo! However, it was part of the 40% code?? (which I originally booked with) Odd. I thought that all those features would stay the same too considering they just changed my ressie...kept the same confirmation #.

Anyone else who had an exisiting ressie have this change on their free dining ressie?? Not that I don't believe my TA, just curious!

That's too bad! I had a voucher for a free Dsney movie DVD when we checked in a couple of weeks ago, luckily, it is good until Jan 2008 so I will use it for our sept 2007 vacation since during that trip we will visit all the parks, and BBBoutique.

The movieDVD was indeed a perk for the ones having booked the 40% off offer, I guess free dining is still a pretty good deal don't ya think?

Same thing happened last year. There was a photopass promotion that free dining reservations could not get that other travellers did.

i got the photo dvd too..what is it?

 

[Luv2Roam]

Different package. And not all packages have the same features.

Oh the free dining is a great deal, don't get me wrong...I was just looking forward to the Movie DVD. Oh well...maybe with the money I'm saving w/free dining, I'll (GASP) buy the Movie DVD!

Thanks to all who responded!

It is a video they put together, all you need to do is just upload your pictures or use theirs from the Photopass photographers. They use Disney characters to do give the DVD some special effects. If you would like here is a link to my families photo DVD.

That is WONDEFUL! Is this something you do while AT Disney, or at home after your trip? I couldn't play the whole thing as I was at work. But do they limit the # of pics that can be included? I think I saw 4 diff't icons on your site. I'll have to explore it more later. Really terrific!!!!

Oh that is SO neat - thank you for sharing!!! I can't wait to get one of these DVD's - my DD is going to LOVE this!

where were you able to see your conformation so quickly?
I would love for this to still be there

Hello,


I was concerned about this as well so I just called. My original reservation was for the ASMo and they had mailed me my info with all these little perks listed. Later I upgraded to CBR and they only mailed me a bill, so I wasn't sure if I was still getting those extras. Tomorrow I am trying for the free dining... So anyway, I explained all of this to her and she said:

1) all of those extras are included in all of the packages.
2) I should be able to add free dining when and if it goes out to the regular public without changing my current reservation (I know this isn't important to anyone else but me, but I was glad to hear it ).
3) all those little extras will still be included in the packages.

So unless I got someone who doesn't know what she's talking about, I think all should be fine. I think they perhaps do not update the info as fast or as detailed as we'd like.

Hope that helps (it at least helped me!).

My TA faxed me a copy of the confirmation that Disney sent her.

Please keep us posted when you get your new confirmation! Did you call Disney?

Which could very well be the case. I have had CM's give out a lot of incorrect information. In fact, I saw a post just a few minutes ago by someone who's TA just talked to a CM that told her there was no free dining offer at this time.

 

[cinnderly]

Yes, I called Disney.

It's surely possible there is misinformation going on. The CM I spoke to though had also said she was not allowed to confirm what I heard about free dining and that I should keep checking online to see if it will be offered, so maybe that is what that other CM meant.
