Same thing happened to me...I tried Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome so it wasn't the browser! Got all mine too. And didn't mind getting to listen to "Main Street USA" while waiting. Made it much better.

Just booked a trip from 11/3 to 11/6. Would LOVE free dining, but we were planning on using our no expiration tickets from earlier this year. Anyone have any luck with getting FD anyway?

You have to buy 2 day tickets to get free dining. Thats standard. You can save them for another trip though. Just ask to have them taken off your KTTW to a seperate ticket

I have 3 reservations and not 1 has been recognized. I was told that for some reason my address is not associated with my reservation so thats why it won't let me do them online.

I think anyone wanting FD for November should just call and say they heard about an email going around without a pin that said "early look". When I called I was told I did not have a pin, when I specifically mentioned FD and asked when it would be released to the general public, I was told I could have it now. I really think it is all in who you talk to and what you say. I would keep trying and trying.

Pixie dust to all!!

Tried again this morning, saying just what you said. No cigar . I even said that I was aware of several people who got free dining without having a PIN code. She was very nice, but she said she had no idea how to add that to my account . Maybe I'll call again later today. I have a feeling it's all about which CM you get. I haven't lost hope yet !! --Katie

 

[dazednconfused]

My TA says there isn't a PIN for my reservation.

 

[dfin]

I tried also this morning, spoke with Abby and was told the exact same thing as Katie, I think I will try later today .

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I tried calling 2 different times and got 2 totally diff CM's and none of them would give me FD. I even told th one that I had a PINless email.....no luck at all. I hope it goes out to ethe public. I expect it sometime in June I am being optimistic!

 

[mommyof3princess27]

I need help. I am trying to decide if on our Magic Kingdom day, we could do a Crystal Palace breakfast, late lunch at CRT like 2pm and since the park closes at 7pm, a late dinner at O'hana's? Does that sound like too many ADR's for one day? I make them on Tuesday and am so nervous! I hope everything ist booked comepletely up

 

[Mikeheidi2]

Is anyone else not wanting FD, but a room only discount instead??

Everybody is obsessing (in a good way of course, lol) over free dining, but nobody seems to want % off room.

I looked on the historic list of when discounts are offered and it says not until August That is too far away!!

Sorry, just a gripe. It's so hard to plan ADR's when I don't know where I'm staying.

 

[Smileybug]

Good morning ya'll.

mommyof3.....Hope each day is getting better for you. Are you ready for tuesday morning? I think I have finally locked down all of my ADRs with approximate times.

It can be. I assume you are doing deluxe dining? I am too for 3 days. I went with 2 TS a day, with one each day being a Signature. I know how full we are with just 1 TS and a CS, so I think we are going to rolling those 3 days. Plus we'll have 2 snacks each those days.
Also keep in mind that you will lose at a good 1-2 hours a day for each meal. Probably closer to 2 hours with travel and waiting to be seated.
For the day you listed, I would probably not do Crystal Palace. The other 2 are harder to get so I would try for those first.

That was my boat too. Free Dining for us, since we are a party of two who stay at either Moderate or Deluxe resorts, is not as good a savings as a 20-35% discount on the room rate

 

[SevsOnlyGirl]

First time doing ADR's! I got 4 done, 3 online and 2 with the CM who was awesome! He told me that I can't get my other two as the dates haven't been released yet. So I'll keep trying.

Nov. 23rd - Animal Kingdom - dinner at Tusker House

I think you need to do what feels right for your family. And like you said.....no one has to clean their plates. I was stressing over the to much food thing and then I realized that the dining times were going to be nice breaks in a full week of Disney.

For any of you staying at the WL.... They have always had a great room service.

I really want free dining. I do have my rooms booked with a 35% off pin, but it only saves me $360 on the two rooms at AS Sports. We would save about $1100 on the QSDP with FD.

Our party has grown. It started with my family of 5. Then my parents quickly decided they wanted to join us again. About a month ago, my older sister & her SO decided to come along for part of the time, too.
