March 12 Late Summer discounts & GP Free Dining released

[focusondisney]

Room Discounts released for GP & AP from July 30- October 3rd. Free Dining now open to everyone. Free dining has same dates as the Visa early access. Late summer discounts seem to be the dates that were originally released with January’s release then revised back to July. Of course, I’m waiting for late October & December.

So frustrating! Anyone having any luck with the AP discount! I've tried every deluxe resort for our dates, moved them around, added and subtracted days, and can't find a thing!

5 hours old.....and my September All Star dates are sold out already....Wow!

So you know for sure they were available on release, which was before 5:30 this morning? Not all resorts are available for all dates. September discounts were already released in January, then withdrawn in February. So there may not have been a lot of availability for this release. It’s possible your dates may not have been offered for this discount. But as we know, availability can change at any time. So keep checking.

My dates at the resort qualified....it seems all were taken at All Star Resort very quickly...and the CM did say that they have been very busy. Luckily I already have the dates booked on a Bounce Back offer.....just wanted to see if I could save a few extra bucks.

Yes....I will check back from time to time.

Qualifying doesn’t mean available. Each resort decides what rooms to place in a discount for which dates. Every qualifying resort does not put rooms available for every included date.

I just booked all stars for end of August. Could only get a preferred room, can hopefully downgrade to standard if becomes available and save same more money.

Planning doing an end of August trip! I am crazy. Get the cheapest park tickets, get free water park day before expires at beginning of Sept. Get to ride/see all the new updates. Hopefully Food and Wine will have just started. I know it will be hot and nasty but I’m in Texas anyway and used to visit in August as a kid all the time.

It’s annoying they came back out with the 4 parks deal this year but didn’t last year.

Thinking maybe we’ll do MNSSHP too, it there are any good changes this year - didn’t like how they didn’t the socially distanced characters last year like Donald. I want a good photo with him, not with a rope in the way.

Just grabbed a Water View Tower room at GDT for late September that I've been waiting for. Was hoping for a 30% discount but looking closer to 20%. I'll take what I can get just as long as I get the room I wanted.
