Is this latest Dining Plan available in the UK?

[Allyourwishes]

Is it possible to get the recently announced free Disney Dining Plan (Sept/Oct/Nov) in the UK?

I've tried doing a mock booking through the Disney website and Thomson but neither are giving the dining plan free but the offer details don't say anything about US only.

Book it through the US website if the offer is available there, done it myself in the past.

Complete Orlando are still offering.

You will need to book through Disney US or US Disney travel agent such as Dreams Unlimited and pay in dollars. US TA will only charge the same as booking with Disney direct unlike here however I find it easier as I can do everything by email.

The offer is open to anyone but it is a US based offer instead of a UK one.

Yes we are booked through the us free dining offer for this October - you can book online on the us website or call to book

Thank you for your help guys, next question how to I stay on the US website? Every time I go through the steps (starting with the post from the Disney blog about the free dining) I start off on the US site but some how end up on a UK site after putting in our travel dates.

Honestly it's a pain. I would recommend getting a quote from www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com they are owned by the people who own the boards and their service is excellent. Used them loads of times and each time Disney release a discount they will re-price your package to make sure it's a cheap as possible

I have booked this years trip with dreams unlimited and they are brilliant!
I have the free dining offer but you need to hurry as US dining doesn't work like UK free DDP!
It's based on free dining rooms so they have to have the rooms available, and they go quickly.

I usually go through spanish option to access US site or give them a call

You just need to pay a deposit $200? and then balance 45 days before

You will need to buy the US Magic Your Way tickets to get the benefit of free dining not the uk ultimate tickets.

We have flights booked with american airways - paid in full on booking.

Then room + 10 day MYW tickets and free qsdp upgraded to ddp booked through US disney. Balance due beginiing Sept for our October holiday.

On top we have paid for car hire as we like a car but no need for one.

Do you need to buy length of stay tickets for this current US FD offer? Not a trick question as I haven't looked into this one, but the last one was a minimum of a 2 day base ticket per person per room. I only ask this (on behalf of the OP) because if they are planning a 14 day trip, I wondered how it would compare cost wise to get the minimum required tickets as part of the package and then get UK ultimates to use for the remainder of the stay. Given the price of the US MYW 2 day tickets it is likely that this will work out more expensive, but as 10 days is the max you can get on a US booking it was just a thought

Im not having any troubles with it anymore.
I used to have the same problems as you but im getting the new updated site.
hope you get it too

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/

I get the main page and the option to scroll down the bottom and click on the international version USA English.

Im not sure where the free dining page is but will have a look.

 

[darthtatty]

ooh I found the free dining page and as long as I clicked on the USA English, I could book it ok.
good luck.xx

2 day was the minimum MYW ticket required

We have gone for 10 days MYW plus waterparks and a halloween party ticket.

That is plenty for us for a 14 day hol. I've never been bothered about hopping though.
