New free dining offer yeaaah

[TIME2DISNEY]

No I think it will happen and I think it will be today .... I just wanted to do it online and not have to sit on hold!

Thank you I feel better now!
I'm with you on reserving online, can't stand to be on hold.
Anyone try calling yet?

I'd like to know as well...seems like there were some issues with the codes posted here yesterday and if the new promo isn't announced on the Disney website, I would think no one is going to be able to apply anything until it does.

I don't want to imply I am thinking it won't happen just wondering how most go about it if it is not posted on the sites!

thanks

Call and ask for general public free dining - hope the cm will know about it.

Me neither, I'm just starting to wonder if Disney is going to take their sweet old time and post it at a random time later today rather than first thing as expected....hmmmm

Hmmm, trying to book ADR (just in case, figure since our TA would take care of the FD if it shows up I may as well get a few dining ressies in while they are still available. Can't seem to get through though, is showing availability but when I try and book it comes up with an error. Can we hope it is because they are working on the offer?????

I was able to make an ADR and cancel one a few minutes ago.

The system update is clearly running long. It will finish eventually.

It's unclear whether it will affect the call center or nit if is still running. My guess would be not. Even if the code changed last night, you would still update the internal systems before the external ones. The website would be the last place updated.

and I would expect the call center to be briefed about the codes. (Though that may not be true in reality.) They know the horde is descending,

I'm tired of pushing the refresh key

 

[sher92]

I keep refreshing WDW page but no free dining offers yet.
Anyone else feeling a little nervous?

Nope, I see nothing either!

Check which browser you're using. It wouldn't work for me with Firefox, but was perfect with IE and Chrome.

These kinds of things would generally run in a scheduled batch job during off times. They're unlikely to disrupt the system at random times. It'll go up this morning. It's just slow. Remember, we're talking about huge interconnected systems here.

Just chkd my ressie from last night where the cm added the FD and its still there so I KNOW it will come out today.. good luck to everyone I'm off to work!

 

[thebigdisneydaddy]

morning everyone, we're getting close

 

[Disney Family Lee's]

So is everyone going to start calling at 7:00 if it is not posted?

 

[SarahD]

Wasn't it the 7-for-4 offer that came out at about 5pm?

I will be, free dining saves me $1800 on this trip ! !

 

[TIME2DISNEY]

Hm... should I go back to bed or sit and stare at the WDW website?
Decisions, decisions LOL!

Ah, worked now. I logged out and in again. We're coming all the way from Australia and it would be amazing if we managed to score FD! We've advised our TA to cut a day short at Universal and go to WDW a day earlier (no biggie, just arrive at night after a day at the Dark side instead of the next morning). With 3 adults and Candlelight Processional already booked it would save us hundreds!

But do you think we'll have any luck getting it by calling even if nothing's been posted?? or is this the million dollar question?

 

[discorsner]

Anyone see anything???

 

[crazycatlady]

CrazyCatLady, I had hoped to do the same but it doesn't look like it's going to happen so now the plan is to be in the car on the phone. GOOD LUCK!!

Less than an hour to go!!

I made it to work....an hour and 20 minutes early. Good luck and drive safely!
