If you get a code after you have booked can you call in and still use it?

 

[Aliceacc]

Yep. I did.

Goto www.disney.com and register for their site then order a free vaca dvd! odds are youll probably get a code! Codes can be used to apply a percentage off to you package or sometimes they offer room only discounts etc...Hope this helps if not ask more......

Yes! I did also!!!!!!!!!

Anyone able to refresh my memory? I know last year I got the code for FDDP from having a Disney Visa. I just can't remember where I got the code from. Not sure if it was e-mailed to me or if I just had to keep checking the website for it.

I'm actually Central NY....Syracuse to be exact. We have several friends in NJ. My cousin lived there while commuting to Manhattan, then they decided to move there because they were sick of commuting.

We just moved back this past summer from being in Ohio for 5 years. So we're back home to Central NY now.

Thanks everyone! I ordered the DVD but that was after we made up our minds to book so I went ahead and booked hoping that I could use it if I do get one! Keeping my fingers crossed....

 

[LakeAriel]

Don't you need a package with equal tickets for each member of your party to get the dining?

 

[utkscvol1]

Ok, so I just called to check the dates on the halloween party. September 5 is the first night. Yippee, that's our last night. HOpefully I can get tickets. She told me to check back next month. Anyway, I played dumb and asked if there were any promotions that the girl that booked our vacation told me to keep checking back. She said there were not any right now. I asked if she thought they would offer any and her reply was no I don't. So, big bummer. Of course still hoping. All the cm's have been saying something different. I'm waiting for some details to be leaked. Were are the little "moles"?

I'm from Syracuse too! I'll be going to Disney World in May. I'm excited!!! PS, Syracuse weather is bad:-(

OK so my parents are taking the entire family to WDW in late August. We were originally going for just 8 days and they booked the DP for those 8 days. Now they extended it to 11 days but didn't extend the DP the extra 3 days. If they announce the FREE DP, do they have to cancel and rebook to get it for the entire 11 days or will WDW only give them it free for the original 9 day booking???

Sorry if this sounds like a riddle.

No one really knows how this works!

We got a code near Thanksgiving (after September 11th) for $39.00 Values (did not book it).

We have never got a code since!

We have gotten three different WDW DVD's, A DVC DVD, table book, and inquiry, are members of everything officially Disney, allow both DH and my email to receive ALL available Disney communications, are members of the DVD Club, have a Disney Visa, have been to Disney, are going back to WDW, we shop Disney online a lot, enter Disney contests (some daily when allowed) and check the boxes for allowing communications, go online, have booked online, and so on.

There is no rhyme or reason for the codes... those that get them are simply lucky!

Now they extended it to 11 days but didn't extend the DP the extra 3 days.

I thought the dining plan had to be for the length of the stay. Do you have two continuing ressies?

For those waiting for free dining -- I posted this in the other F/D thread but figured there was no harm to share the same info here..

Free dining theories are like bellybuttons ... everybody's got one but.. they're pretty much useless. Meaning at the end of the day, Disney is going to do what's best for Disney Inc., whatever that may be. We all have guesses, but the only people who REALLY know for sure are bound by a non-disclosure agreement.

More seriously - for those wanting to book Free Dining .. the best of all possible worlds is that you can be flexible on resort OR on your dates... OR ideally -- BOTH!

The more flexibility you can figure into your plans, the more likely you'll be able to book something that you are excited to experience.

Just a little tip I learned from watching this all unfold last year... and the year before...

Hope it helps someone.

I am told it is set up as one reservation and that no it doesn't have to be for LOS. I have no idea. I'll call WDW myself and ask.

Thanks for trying though.

Excellent advise! The Free Dining Plan is what it is and there is no way we will know what it is until it happens. Once it does people will have to be flexible or they will be end up disappointed.
