You mean until 4am right?

Or whenever. I still think they're going to change the time from 4am. It seems like they've changed the time a lot year to year.

 

[mamamelody2]

No. I feel the stress.

Hahahaha! Me, too!

No I haven't seen that! Yikes! And we don't have the Visa!!!!! We can't move our dates either! Something else to worry about! I don't want to bug her again since I already feel like a pest but she did say she will doing everything possible to make sure her clients can take advantage of FD and she knows we really want the Poly or Contemporary. She said she will text me if a scenario arises that's not my approved list.

And if we do a room only for the 20th and a package for the rest of our stay, we won't be able to use those park tickets on the 20th? Right?

You can use the tickets early. You would have to activate them at guest services so you wouldn't be able to make fp for that first night.

I'm not confident on the dates I'm seeing, but it looks to be the "up to" 20, 25, 30% deal with obvious resorts excluded. Nothing shocking from what I see. Not 100% that it drops tomorrow, but that's usually been the game plan.

Ohh yay! We are staying deluxe for the first time, I'm hoping for 30% to help DH's sticker shock. We are going in October so no FD but I'm emotionally invested in this thread and still reading every page for some reason

Thanks black for some RO info and I hope everyone's free dining dreams come true!

I somehow missed the chat room we'll all be using as we lose our minds tonight (or our bowels, as Pete suggested on the DisUnplugged YouTube channel).

Can someone link me to the instructions for it or let me know how to connect there?

Your tickets will be attached to the FD portion, but you make them for the total number of days. You can access them early, but your FP+ window won't open until the date of the second stay.

Which resort is undergoing refurbishments and does not have a food court right now?

Caribbean Beach

Hi,
I just call Disney and the CM said you will not be able to modify a current reservation that I have to free dining if and when it is offered. Did I get a CM that does not the way it works, or is this true?

It depends. Do you have a reservation booked with Expedia or Hotels . com or through an airline? Sometimes you can't add a dine plan on to those. Otherwise, you definitely can modify an existing package or convert a room-only res to a package, and get free dine so long as the free dine offer is still available for your resort and dates.

Good luck to ALL!

The trend for no October is pretty consistent with the past couple years. I think it is solidly out.

I got RO discount 2016 so hmmm not sure where this is coming from.

My bad, thought you were talking of FD

 

[Dashzap]

I bet there would be time to apply of the Visa and still get in on your dates since this promotion should go on for a few months.

I think you need to have the Disney Visa when you book the Visa FD offer and pay a deposit (or an additional $200 if you are modifying and used a different card) using the Disney Visa...

Correct. But if you applied for the card today, and got it in a couple weeks, call back then. I suspect that there will still be the option to book (maybe not as much availability, but likely several options) since the promotion goes on for a couple months usually.

I think what the OP meant was that there was time for them to apply for and get the Disney Visa, and then once they get it call and make a reservation because this promo will be going on long enough for them to have time to do that.

True, and hopefully there will still be availability.

OMGoodness!!! I am so excited I cant handle it!

 

[K-Jen]

Who said time does not stand still!???? Pretty sure it has stopped for the next 5 hrs and 12 minutes!

 

[Shellbells]

Any chance it will drop at midnight?
