Ok question, if some great deal comes out for Sept and I book it and pay the money say in Aug I decide we just can't swing a trip this year but what to change it to Jan how does that work. Does whatever money I paid get applied to the Jan trip? Do the refund the money? Do they offer a credit?

We were thinking Jan was better for us moneywise (we have some debt we are trying to pay off) but I really want to go in Sept and if an awesome deal comes out we might be able to swing it. So my thought is book and pay the deposit and then see how things go. But I am just not sure how things go if I were to switch to Jan.

If I book now and then an offer comes out that is better than what I booked, will they adjust my reservation and honor it? How does that work?

 

[MWGreene]

Back up and there's nothing different

Yes, as long as there are rooms available under the code, but you'll have to contact them and request it.

Whew! Thanks! I went ahead and booked, and will just keep an eye on things and see if we can get a better deal.

We're doing Disney for CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Historically, if you book the first day of your trip during free dining, then the free dining applies to your whole trip. So, for example if the last day of the free dining promotion was Dec. 20th..but your trip started on the 19th.. you would have free dining the 19th-26th not just the 19th and 20th.

That would be FANTASTIC! I'm crossing my fingers for December FD now!

 

[StuckInKS]

you had to get 5 nights for FD and moderates were on QS FD as well as the value resorts, only deluxe got the regular FD.

No. I have this same summer PIN and it will let me book with 3N room/2 day tix.

NJ week is not always the first week in Nov.
I am praying for FD the end of Oct/ begining of November!

Halloween is usually excluded too though and has been from pins this year so far. Usually the Thursday before Halloween is the last check in date for package deals. If you can check in no later than Oct 27th you might be in luck but between the 28th and a few days past the end of Jersey week it's usually all blacked out.

I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping so hard that they offer FD in January. We currently have a Sept. FD trip scheduled, but my conscience is making me reconsider this trip. MY DD will be taking 1-2 community college classes (as a HS Senior) and I know its not a good idea for her to miss a whole week of classes so I can get my Disney fix . Free dining is truly the only way my family of 5 can afford Disney, so its either reschedule with FD or cancel at this point.

You know, this makes me wonder what will be left to book for North America. The U.K. has their offer, we already had our offer earlier in the year, and now this.
TP said rumors of a tasty discount.. they didn't say North America again

I certainly hope it's offered here, but this makes me wonder.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got a PIN a few months ago for 35% off values and moderates

Just a thought.. but if free dining was given last Dec. and everyone already made reservations and they offered it again now- would there be much open? Some resturants are already booked for those days. I got it and checked recently to see if they were still open for ressies and some were and some weren't.

 

[nkereina]

Yeah I was wondering myself if free dining would be offered for the fall being the mostly same dates as offered last winter. Ever seen disney "re-open" offers?

Touring Plans must have some inside knowledge because I doubt they'd make a statement like that without having a scoop. Or else no one would rely on them for anything if they were full of it!

I'm booked at POR with DxDP with a pin code of 40% off the room. Anyone know if free dining is greater than less than or equal too 40% off the room rate? Too busy to do the math right now but just curious as to how beneficial free dining would be to me, considering I'd have to pay to upgrade to DxDP anyhow.

Thanks!

 

[gigi1313]

yes, they have "re-opened" offers in the past... or extended booking dates... or made better offers than the previous discount... i know i've got my fingers crossed for november free dining!

Im curious about this too, anyone know the figures?

Wasn't the free dining offer for 2011 (that had to be booked by 12/20) just through September 2011? I don't recall any general public offers for October - December 2011, just pin codes, so it's probably reasonable to expect them to be offered, right?
