How will I make my reservation for FD!

[peterox]

Hey Disers,

I want to make a reservation on Monday morning for free dining. The problem is I want to check in on Aug 23 and know free dining starts in the 25th. Do I need to make a room only for the first 2 nights? My vacation package will start on the 25th will I be able to use my park tickets from the package when we arrive on the 23rd?

This happened to us last year with the FD promo. You will have to book a room only for those two nights and purchase your tickets seperately and pay for food OOP. Or, you can use a package for 2 days with DDP, then just check out and check back in for your package with the FD. The CMs should be able to help you with this, as long as you get a nice one. But it is pretty simple, I did it last year. Hope this helps!

Do not buy separate tickets for the beginning of your stay. The cost for the additional tickets would decrease or cancel any savings you would get from free dining. Book a room only reservation for the beginning of your trip and pick up your tickets early. I believe you can pick up your tickets up to 3 days early.
