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

[lizaisabel]

Looks like this website is suggesting moderate resorts will only get the quick service meal plan this year :/

Seems like that. It will be the first time that moderate only get Quick?

Hi, All of October is blocked out. Only good to September 30th and then again starting November 14th.

You are so right. I read it wrong. Thanks!

 

[Amunet]

If mods get QS definitely won't be able to do it

 

[Gatita78]

It says you have to book between april 24 and august 31.

I think I have everyone beat, so far. My first trip to DisneyLAND was in 1966!! We had to buy the ticket books and choose which rides we would do based on the letter on the ticket. Dad would never buy us more than one book each, so we never got to ride everything until the company he worked for starting doing company night once a year. The park would close at either 6 or 7 pm to everyone except the employees of McDonnell Douglas, and then we could ride anything with NO TICKETS needed. What a blast! Needless to say, I've been a Disney fanatic forever.

My first trip to WDW was in 1985.. We went the first week in January since we didn't have any school-aged kids and the park was empty. So much fun. I think there was only MK and EP then. The biggest memory from that trip is we stayed in Kissimee (there weren't many resorts back then), and our van got broken into during the night.

Well, my first Disney experience was Disneyland in 1960. I was 12 and remembered getting our 1st TV in 1955 and watching a show called "Disneyland" later renamed "The Wonderful World of Disney". So you can only imagine how excited my brother and I were to actually be in Disneyland. We were on vacation from a very small town in the panhandle of Texas. Of course we had ticket books. My Dad also took me to watch the "Brooklyn" newly moved LA Dodgers play in the LA Coliseum. They were my favorite team. It was also my first time to see the ocean...many great memories. Fast forward to 1988 and at age 40 my husband and I took our 6 and 8 year olds to WDW for my next Disney experience. My 6 year old daughter and I fell in love with everything Disney...opened and closed MK and Epcot for a week and came home and started a Disney collection...especially Christmas decorations. She and I have returned twice since then in 2000 and 2002. We have been patiently waiting for her own to children to reach the ages of 6 and 8 to take them on their 1st Disney trip. It is also my husband and my 50th wedding anniversary this year..so in September, our family of 7 is heading to WDW for a week. And, of course, we are hoping to snag free dining because we want to take granddaughters to several character dinings.

My Hubs loved these posts. I read them to him. Thank you for sharing.

The offer for the UK is always mods get quick service has it been that way for Brazil also or would this be new for them.

Thank you, I was trying to figure out if I had heard that too.

I wondered this as well. I've tried to search for how alike the US deal and the Brazilian deal normally are, but I'm not having much luck. Does anyone know?

 

[Gatita78]

I understand that is a brazilian TA because it says that if you want to book you have to give all your information by april 23, and they will try to get the FD on the 24

 

[sbbwdw]

Is the U.S. offer usually before or after theirs?

I hope that remains true!
Otherwise, we were already planning on 4day tickets

I was searching and I think this is the 2016, FD Brazilian offer........

Promoção de alimentação gratuita
A primeira promoção e a minha favorita na Disney é a de alimentação gratuita, que vai valer para chegadas entre 14 de agosto e 01 de outubro, 15 a 21 de novembro, 26 a 28 de novembro e 10 a 21 de dezembro.

Como regra o número mínimo é de 3 noites e máximo de 14 noites. E é obrigatória a compra de ingressos de no mínimo 2 dias (hopper ou mais diversão) junto com o pacote.

O que vale para essa promoção de alimentação gratuita é o dia do check-in. Ex. Se você chegar no último dia da promoção, dia 21/12, você passará Natal e Reveillon na Disney e ainda terá alimentação incluída para todo o período da hospedagem (desde que não ultrapasse 14 noites).

Para os hotéis econômicos o plano oferecido é o Quick, que consiste em 2 refeições quick e 1 snack por pessoa por dia). Já para os hotéis moderados e luxo o plano oferecido é Plus Dining, que consiste em 1 refeição table, 1 refeição quick e 1 snack por pessoa por dia). Caso não esteja familiarizado com esses conceitos, sugiro a leitura do post sobre o Dining Plan, o plano de alimentação da Disney.

Não estão incluídos nessa promoção o quarto da Pequena Sereia no Art of Animation, All Star Movies, Port Orleans French Quarter, no Bay Lake Tower, e nas vilas do Grand Floridian, os bangalôs do Polynesian Resort e villas de 3 quartos.

I am wondering if other travel agents get a heads up too.

Based on the previous research, I think Brazilian deals were the same as UK with mods getting QS. That website also only excludes POFQ not POR.

So, I'm still holding out hope we can get DDP at POR!

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

Also says 4 night minimum instead of usual 3 nights.....but it does they they assume so I don't know how accurate it is!

I think this is the link to last year's Brazillian offer.

Me too! It doesn't feel like a leisure Disney vacation without POR

Uh oh, that one says DDP for mods last year

This is not good news as last year it was a minimum 3 day with a 2 day ticket with Hopper , the same as US, correct? Also, Mod included Standard dining last year. This new QS with 4 day minimum might just be the new offer for US/CAD.

If that is lasts year then mods getting quick is something new for them. If any of this is actually good info.

 

[JadeDarkstar]

the one for this year, did have a list at the bottom saying that other resort's were excluded, not just port.
