missed the UK free dining but....

hiya
so i know i missed the UK free dining offer, but if it comes up on the american site, and i'm prepared to pay the price, can i book the (USA) free dining offer?

 

[wayneg]

Yes BUT I doubt it will be cheaper than booking now with Disney.co.uk
What is the difference between the com and .co.uk now?
We paid £2164 OKW, 16 nights, 3x 21 day tickets.
Now on co.uk it would cost £2,942.58 (cut to 14 nights to get the current offer because 16 nights would cost £4,034.52 as offer will not work)
On .com a 14 night package would cost £5,100approx incl dining but if free dining was available £4,000approx so even with free dining on .com on current prices it would be over £1,000 cheaper with .co.uk

Every package needs to be looked at on its own to see the difference but with current exchange and low cost on .co.uk I would be very suprised to see US free dining working well for UK travellers this year.

just did a package deal check on http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....s/processEngine?process=false&pageRender=true
This is there current offer over in the states.id did it for 2 weeks 2 addults 2 children under 10 at pop with DDP and 10 day magic your way base tickets
Came out to $2819.74 = £2014
If you go to link you can add park hopping/non expirey and waterparks to base tickets will cost you more,also you can tryouther hotels,you would have to get your own flight thougth

we've got APs so would only be buying a one day base ticket to make it a package, forgot to add that on last night so going to go and recalculate it, but i can add the US free dining instead of the UK one?

We have AP's also but the free dining offer on co.uk was way too good to keep them, just using 21 day tickets this August then it could be upto a year before we go again (DS's final year of high school)
You just need to check prices on both sites, like Paul says maybe ring them and ask, there could be an offer available not on website.

Yes you can still do it,obviously Disney will have to make the offer first! I've read a couple of threads on the US discussion about the possibility that Disney will not be making the offer but instead it will only be available to those that were given a "pin no." on their last stay. We had all the leaflets in our room last year but didn't pay too much attention as we knew that we wouldn't be going this year As Wayne says I would crunch the No.s to see if the US Free Dining will be cheaper.

Wow! Firstly, Wayne pointed us in the direction of a great flight deal this past November on Lufthansa , thanks again Wayneg! We had a wonderful trip however this year I didn't think we would be visiting WDW but now , comparing both sites we could save 838 pounds plus get the 4 extra park days. The dining plan is even cheaper, if I remember correctly about 29 dollars vs. the US price of 39 I believe?

We would want to book as late as the deal offers hoping the weather will be nicer which makes that Oct. 1st. I hate the heat but what a deal ! So what I mean to say is, now I'm excited and having a great Sunday !

Good luck karentan and I hope you save a bundle !
