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

[minniemous]

Newbie here with a question.

We are going to WDW 11/25 through 12/2

How does it work if FD falls on only 1 or 2 of those days?

Just note though that is not the way it is for every kind of offer. For some offers they may make your dates fall entirely within the period...but free dining has to my memory always allowed you to extend. I would always arrive the last day in November FD was offered and then extend into the non-included days.

 

[KimBean]

I am not a passholder, but I still see passholder information, even when I'm signed in. Still have 11 offers.

I don't know I have to assume that is what it was. For the past month mine fluctuates between 7 and 11 offers.

 

[KimBean]

I may be pulling at strings here, but the WDW website and app are super glitchy today... people can't seem to book ADRs or FPs. I seem to remember this happening last year before FD dropped as well? Am I crazy or does anyone else remember this happening too?

I remember it as well.

 

[pigletto]

Oh come on internet. Throw us a bone already.

I'm not feeling patient today.

I would also miss that feeling of starting my day walking down Main Street with the image of the castle in the distance.

Oh my gosh YES, I get choked up at this every visit!

I hope so!
I also remember this.

We are booked at Riverside that same week looking forward to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ... FD would be nice.

I'm starting to feel impatient too

We're also booked that week (11/25-12/5), must be a popular week! We're staying at FW cabins and so excited about it. Also hoping FD drops soon, if we can get it DH says we can add 2 extra nights, so crossing fingers!

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

My work would probably love FD to drop ASAP (maybe more than I want it to now) so that my productivity goes back to what it normally is. As much as I keep saying I won't check, I just can't help myself. FOMO big time over here

I'm self employed but I've been thinking that's probably part of the reason my FD hunt has become an addiction, lol!!!


I think I'm gonna go get me an Italian Night Club from Jimmy Johns, oh just so everyone knows it's only 1 QS credit!!!!!

For all the Southwest people here, do any of your have one of the Rapid Rewards credit cards? Do you like it? We decided to get the RR Plus yesterday and thought with the 40,000 points plus whatever we earn, we can fly for free or nearly free in December. Any tips on using the card to our advantage? This is my first miles card. I feel very adult.

 

[missnikki411]

Assuming FD dates are similar to last year, crowdwise is it better to go week after Thanksgiving or second week in December? We've done week after Thanksgiving twice and it definitely has gotten busier so wondering how the second week in December is.

I have one and love it, take advantage of the points also by referring friends, we use it a lot and usually fly for free round trip once a year for the 5 of us great rewards card.




Oh, they often send me free drink coupons also I've used points to rent cars to.

 

[Jellybass]

I hate the fact that SW and SW Vacations are completely separate and you cannot transfer funds from one to the other. We would have given up the summer meal deal and moved to the Yacht Club if they allowed it.

 

[KimBean]

My computer died and my dishwasher started leaking yesterday. I feel like a fish out of water. That's my two main appliances down. I will not, could not, should not, tap into my Disney fund. No!!!!

My computer with no warning says disk failure and no recovery processes will work. Can't find hard drive or OS.

Ugh.

 

[scrappinginontario]

US CC are not open to Canadians so sadly no Disney Visa or SW RR cards for us.

We pay every bill possible with the SW card. And we charge every purchase (dinners out, groceries, clothes, gas). We also own a rental property so we got a SW business card and when we combined the points we had enough 2 yrs ago to get a companion pass -- that was awesome!

I will say we also pay it off every month. And they keep raising our credit limit, which is fine, but at this point I can buy a luxury car on that thing, lol.

We just got 4 drink coupons. Depending on how things go I might use SW when we go down in August. I've been flying Frontier lately b/c it's dirt cheap ($70/round trip in Dec, Jan, & Feb) -- but I use my SW card to buy the tickets

what is the name of the group?

Same as this one we are on here. If you follow the link, it takes you right to the board. At least it did for me when I used it to sign up. I've never used any chat things before so I am new to this. I can't even figure out how to post yet! But I can see what everyone else is posting, so as long as I can see if they post FD, it's all good!
