[prettypatchesmsu]

New here. Booked for POR 8/22-8/29. Is this black guy pretty reliable in the past with rumors?

Yes, very

Moderates may only get quick service on this one! Looks like only deluxe resorts will get regular plan. Again. This is fluid.

For us to have to upgrade dining it would cost over 600 dollars, which ends up not being a "deal" at all. If we did value we would have to get 2 rooms, which isnt a good deal either. If this ends up being true then we will have to rework our whole trip.

Looks like free dining could be dropping on April 24. Minimum of 4 nights, maximum of 14, with park hopper and park hopper plus add on. Check in dates: 8/13-9/30, 11/14-11/20, 11/25-11/27, 12/3-12/23.


As always, information is fluid and more detail will hopefully come.

Thanks for the update!

What a great night. I just won my first Risk Legacy game. Woohoo!!

Well hopefully I can get a two bedroom villa at Okw or ss. Could swing a standard room at wl or akl also but it's getting expensive.

Those early December dates are surprising considering pop warner is there and their stays are typically blacked out

So you have to have park hopper OR park hopper plus?
We always get park hopper but not the plus because we don't go to the water parks.
Thanks for all the great info!

I am so excited!!!!! We have already purchased our airline tickets for August 14-24, so it looks like we are just making it for the start of free dining. We based our dates on last year's and crossed our fingers and toes!!!

Sorry for those staying at mods.

THanks for posting the info, but it really seems like Disney is nickel and diming FD to death, which is probably their intention. So now, it seems like not only do you have to upgrade to PH tickets but now you have to add PH+ option as well? That's another chunk of change in addition to the seeming QS only for values AND mods. At this rate, free dining really will be dead in a couple of years. The difference now, between what really was free dining a couple of years ago and now for my family is about $700, or basically a wash.

 

[Shellie2101]

Thanks so much for the info! Any idea if the 4 day hopper is required or is the 2 day hopper required like last year?

Sounds like you need both. I think it's an extra $15 or so per ticket.
