This is new to me, and I realize this is a silly question to "vets," but if you already have an existing reservation, you need to cancel the first and then re-book, correct?
Can you do this all in one phone call? Is there a great risk of losing your current rooms and having to go to a different resort?

You do NOT have to cancel. You are just going to call and modify your reservation. If you call on the first date that the discount becomes available, you may get an agent that is not familiar with the new discount, if that happens just ask to speak to someone else, or hang up and call back......however the phone lines will be BUSY that first day

I have a question, I have booked three rooms at one of the included value resorts. The people in two of the rooms already have purchased tickets and the person staying in the third room will need to buy tickets, will this cover FB for EVERYONE in the party since the rooms are all linked together?

No each room is different. So each room will have to have a package to get free dining.

No you do not have to rebook. You simply call and they will modify your existing reservation. Some resorts and room categories will sell out of FD discounts faster than others, so it's always best to have a back up resort and room category. But if you call the day the first day, you shouldn't have an issue. And even if you changed rooms or resort or dates, you still do NOT cancel or rebook and your reservation number stays the same.

Thank you everyone for answering my questions

 

[black562]

Awe, Black, I have only recently come to know you are another source of info and truth. Thank you for your hard work also.

You and Danny really need to get together on these things. You both seem to work so well together in the threads, now we need to find a way for you BOTH to get credit and announce the good news.

Maybe, Danny announce dates and you fill in resort info???? I don't know, but something so that you are both working together on it.

Well it was funny. I had seen yesterday about this promo but it only had the South American and European info attached. I didn't think much of it other than to keep an eye on it until this morning and started seeing that the U.S. was either going to mirror it or drop a week later. I actually made a post about a week ago that I had an odd "gut" feeling about the 9th for some reason (call it a veteran's huntch).

I actually long ago had made two date ranges of identical dining reservations just in the event of something like this happening. I made one at the end of August and one in September that are identical ADRs.

At least now I can get Coronado Springs, which wasn't available the last week of August.

To get FREE dining you must book the full package - minimum of - Room, 2 day tickets and dining (free).

They can take the KTTW cards and ask that the tickets be taken off and then save them for another trip.

But they will HAVE to purchase tickets (2 days) to get Free dining.

I remember you saying the hunch thing about May 9th -

I hope you enjoy your free dining!!!! I don't hold much hope for my November trip. However I am very hopeful for either a general Room Only or a great AP room rate. But if not, I am going anyways. - I hope much more, for employee rates at the Swolphin as that is always a better deal for me.

 

[kaylasmom07]

Wow! This is awesome! These were our initial dates until I switched them to mid november. Hopefully well see a similar discount for our dates then. Happy for all of you who will be able to use this deal!

That's good info to have. At least I know for sure that one person will at least get the free dining.
Maybe there will be a room-only discount for everyone else? If we were staying at a Mod or Deluxe resort it would likely be worth it to buy two tickets for everyone, but for counter service, that's unlikely.

If you can give me more details - dates, how many in each room what kind of dining they prefer I can look at it and give you better details of what might work best for you. You can send it in a PM if you want to

 

[jrasmom]

all the info it´s now in my first post, i DON´T WANT TO MAKE yOU WAIT MORE IT´S REALLY DANGEROUS

THANK YOU!THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!

Can't WAIT for it to be officially released so I can book!!

thankful for my Disney Visa so maybe we can book a few days earlier?!?!?

Bizzer, I'm skeptical of the campsites and the LM rooms being included in that post. I believe you previously got a special pin code discount for your previous campground stay, as there has never been a general public FD discount on the campsites. I would definitely have a back up resort plan when calling in to apply the FD code, just in case . Good luck!

Its most likely a formatting error should look like this. The reason it looks odd is because FW is the odd duck and is the only one in that category.

Awesome! Good news for everyone planning a September trip!!

 

[Mom2Cody06]

Eek! Been waiting to hear of FD in Sept. can't wait to book our trip. As long as you arrive within the time frame your whole trip is covered correct?

 

[tjmj9801]

NOOOO!!!!!!! The absolute earliest we can check in is 9/27.

You're confusing me with your question. What do you mean one person would get free dining? Everyone on the reservation has to have the same things, so either everyone gets free dining or no one gets it.

You got it

 

[BabyCrazyKCmommy]

So excited our dates fall in the FD for Sept!!!

Now I just need to crunch numbers to see what is a better savings for CBR the 30% off room we have orig booked with or the FD for 2 adults and 2 children.

Thank you so much for the info

Yes, your check IN date must fall within the FD promo dates.

Still kicking myself for not booking the BB last year. We really didn't think we'd be going again until 2014 so we just dismissed it right off. Lesson learned. Book the deposit for the BB and if you can't make the trip then cancel it and get your deposit back.

I still can't think they'd let that season go with no discount at all though. I expect blackouts for holidays, spring break, etc but to not have anything would be a surprise. I think we can agree that FD is out for late August so I think a room promo might come through.
