******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[DiaryofaDisneyKid]

That's why I'm here too. I have a FD bb booked, but I'm unsure about my dates, I'm waiting on these new FD dates. I also had a FD bb booked last year, but dates were better for me when FD was announced so I made a new reservation and cancelled my BB offer.

I really wanted to book a BB last year but there wasn't any November dates.

DH might take a new job in a state that starts school before Labor Day so I might have to change my late August dates to a little earlier.

That's rather inconsiderate of DH. Messing with Disney dates like that?! He needs to get his priorities straight!

I know right?!? I told him he needs to firm this up quick! Lol

They've historically announced fall discounts the last week of April. Patience isn't one of my virtues. It's just about going to kill me having to wait that long!

2013 was the worst. FD for August - end Sept/early Oct was released ~ May 9. FD for later Fall (Oct-Dec) did not drop until the end of July. :-(

we got lucky, my sister who does no Disney planning at all had an FD PIN that we used to book at POFQ. PIN showed up early in May.

Hi all! I need some FD and ADR help! Apologies, I'm new to this and scanned the whole thread but couldn't find all answers.

I'm currently booked for Sept and my ADR is approaching.
1. Can I book and ADR for more people than are in my party?
2. If FD comes out and I receive it (even if I move resort) it modifies my reservation - so do I keep my ADRs? Are they linked to the reservation number? What if I need to make a completely new reservation?

Sorry for the questions. I'm sure these are a sticky somewhere, but I couldn't find them.

Thanks in advance!

You're not helping lower my anxiety level.

1. Yes

2. Yes you would keep all of your ADRs. They are not tied to your reservation.

I'm so thankful for pin codes. I have been able to use them to secure FD in the past. Hopefully, if nothing is available for my dates on release day, a pin code can help me later.

Sorry about previous post still figuring this out. I want to know about the PIN for discounts. What are they and how do you receive them? I've learned many things from this board but I haven't figured this out in 2 years.

I have never received one. I have tried many "tricks" like always signing up for Disney free planning guides, getting on the Disney site frequently and still no luck. Maybe I'm just unlucky

Hi everyone, Joining in. We are booked at CBR(pre construction announcement) Sept 1-10. Hoping for FD but will move resorts if need to! The $75 giftcard would be a nice bounus though.

What is a PIN code?

It's a code you receive either through your email or regular mail to book a room or package offer. People say they have no idea how these codes are sent out, only that it seems to be completely random. You can always call and ask if you or anyone in your travel party might have a pin code attached to their name, but in order to use the code, that person must be traveling with you. I have a friend that was planning a trip to Disney and her dad received a pin code, but was not going with her. Therefore, she could not use his pin code.

Try calling and see if that works.

I have called a few times, no luck. I haven't tried this year. Maybe worth a try

A couple of days after FD was announced in 2014, I called and no code. I waited about 2 weeks to call back and I was able to book POR for my birthday trip with a code. You never know so just keep trying.

last year our dates (November) did not qualify for FD so by the end of April I booked with a TA that has exclusive deals. Watched the boards for months and I did not see one single post that anyone got a UOC (PIN) for FD last year. I don't get them anymore but my sis does and was hoping she might get one.

Pixie dust that there are some FD UOCs this year.

my sister does NOTHING and she gets them. everything for our trips are booked through me and my e-mail. she does have a disneystore.com account.
2013 her DH got 2 PINS in the US Mail and he dislikes Disney; can't figure out how he got them.
