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

[Disneylover99]

We weren't able to get POfQ in a BB but my husband did get a UOC for a room discount there...I think that's the only way to get a deal there!

We got our first pin code about a month ago. Well, my husband did. It was nice to see POFQ included in the discounts. It's always tempting when I see a deal at POFQ.

Isn't new rumour that DVA are going to be able to book on the 27th and the GP on the 1st? In which case, cast members would be doing over time next week.

I believe whoever posted about this was looking at at article posted by chip and co. From 2015. Their current one from 2017 only states they believe it will drop may 1st or April 24, with no mention of DIsney visa

This article posted yesterday mentions May 1 as the new rumored date.

Yes but what I'm talking about is the rumor for those with Disney visa being able to book earlier than may 1 ( April 27 I believe). That isn't mentioned in the article above from 2017. I did find it in an article posted from 2015

Something must be brewing. My TA just reached out to me for my priorities. We are going 8/18-8/27. I picked:
1 POR
2 CS
3 POP

So hoping for POR! But anything would be fine. SO EXCITED!

We are now also using a chat room on *******. https://*******.gg/JcmC6

Just in case people are just checking for the day. Here is our new meetup spot for when Dis is down. It's really cool.

Just joined this group, there are 13 of us in here. I know there are two other groups as well, but this is the first one I picked.

I forget carrot cake cookie.

I've heard others commend the carrot cake cookie, never tried it. Is it a soft cookie and is it at HS? The writers shop or something?

 

[ThistleMae]

Is there a certain group or room to join?

I just joined, it seems pretty easy, can't tell how many of us have actually joined...right now it shows who's active I think...got to figure our how to use it....but the name of group is 2017 WDW Free Dining.

For those of you looking to use snack credits on jalapeno pretzels....the only place you can get them now is at Typhoon Lagoon. None of the regular parks carry them.

It used to be at the writers stop - heavenly and HUGE. My family of 4 shared one! Soft cookies, tons of cream cheese frosting on the inside. I think you can get it at sweet spells now in HS.

You have to have the app for the phone - I'm not sure about the desktop though?

It was a couple of pages back. Also on the ******* chat. Can't remember which blog posted about it but it seemed a reputable source.

Edit: I remember now it was one of those website summary things that popped up when you searched but was a dead end with Goofy when you clicked on it. It was updated from the one earlier in the week everyone got all giddy about.

Interesting. I googled this as well as soon as I read your post and saw a couple of Visa Dining articles but one was from 2013 and the other 2014. Hoping it's true though. That's the only reason I got a Disney Visa!!

Chip and co is known for posting total nonsense rumors that usually end up way off. Probably because it brings traffic to their website LOL.

I really hope we don't have to wait another week. I know that's very "first world" of me, but I just really want to know where I am staying, my bill total, and finalize my plans.

It's not "first world"! Once we have our holidays sorted we can go back to our lives caring for others, making our kids' lunches and saving starving children and homeless puppies.
It's really in the world's best interest that free dining drops asap.

Think of the children, Disney.

Anyone else as heartbroken as I am that Splash Mountain is going to be closed

 

[FinnsMom7]

We did Liberty tree after it was refurbished. The meal wasn't that impressive. We X'd it off of our must eat places. I really like Crystal Palace, lots of food choices and it has characters, if you have children.

I am the child of the group, at 34 LOL - I love character photos but sometimes won't wait in a line unless its a special character so the more I think about it the more I am leaning towards CP - get some reg character photos in before the party - and check a new restaurant off my list. I want to try to eat at least 3 new places this trip. The DH is set on repeating Prime Time, Biergarten and Flame Tree already LOL

It's really like a whoopi pie... thin slice of carrot cake - icing - thin slice of carrot cake. It's one of my favourite things to eat at Hollywood studios.
