My painful free dining realization...

[tami82]

Plus with all of the bouncebacks, pins w/free dining who knows maybe not as many will be offered this year if they are getting booked up already.

Well, I've decided that if they don't offer FD we will go to Universal and Sea World instead. I've already booked the air so we'll just switch the destination. Or perhaps we will try a Disney cruise instead.

Now that's showing them. (Just kidding)

I know we'll really sock it to them-huh? At least they are separate divisions, I believe.

I like the way you think!!!

If you're worried about not getting Free Dining, then I probably wouldn't consider a Disney Cruise. Holy Moley those are pricey!

I had totally given up on offers/staying on site as we plan to go in January but now there is a tour operator offering UK deals with FD in Jan/Feb - I don't know what to do! It is widely anticipated that it will be launched on Disney and other sites this weekend.

After doing FD last year on our honeymoon and swearing I would never do it again I am finding myself tempted!?!!?

How do they do this to us!

Wasn't the last promo through 8/14 too though? If so, they didn't extend offer past that day, just a different offer. I think everyone still has hope. Otherwise I'm sure they'll see a lot of people cancelling trips!

A few posts up is the historical dates when free dining was released. Some years it wasn't until April 7 or 8th. Don't panic- like someone else said, they are offering deals in the busiest time, so why not when it will inevitably be slower. In the meanwhile, don't forget to call under your names for pin codes. I was another person who didn't realize they had one until I called. Good luck everybody!

What are the pin codes? I've seen a couple posts that mention it?

I totally agree. We have been looking at a graduation trip for our daughter and thought about doing the Disney Mediterranean Cruise, June 2011. It was over $6,000 and we ended up booking the NCL Epic for less than half! I love Disney, but I cannot see paying that much difference for the Disney theme/atmosphere.

I am just thinking positive My mom called and booked our trip yesterday and cast member didn't say anything about FD but said to my mom " remember that in past years it has been released in April" with that being said and with the previous post of the past release dates-- i would think we will still get a FD offer but just a little later than expected.. I will just keep checking the boards everyday early in the morning you never know what knd of discount you just might wake up to one day soon

I'd loooove to go in October....but three trips in one year would seriously give DH a heart attack. LOL!

I am one who booked ahead in hopes of free dining, but I won't cancel, I will just use the military 40% rate instead, and possibly switch to a value if free dining does not come out. But either way, we are still going
