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

[vever]

I don't know how this will sit with some of you but I just got word that they won't be dropping FD for another 2-3 weeks. I also asked my source what resorts and she mentioned CBR and POR Riverside will be included.
This is the first time I work with her but she seems to know her stuff. Again just rumoured but she's heard this from a very reliable source

Hate to wait; but excited to hear that CBR & POR will be included; this seems like awesome news!

If the weather here would only break, I could pass the time getting out and doing spring clean up. I'm recovering from knee replacement and because of all the snow and ice I've been glued to these boards...and the time is dragging. But I do have to say...I'm loving all the anticipation! Oh, and...I'm not even eligible for FD this year, LOL...staying off site. I'm stalking to practice for next year, my grandson's HS graduation. It's like I'm in training!

DH woke up at 4am for work this morning so I hopped on the computer and got excited when i saw 11 special offers....the extra one is a 4 park ticket that just came out today. I know it wasn't there last night but it was a little after 4am this morning!

SAME. I think that was a little after 1:00am here in central time.

I thought I would make a Google search in Spanish to see any possible rumour about FD and stumble upon this. Which basically says free dining for stays between April 8 to June 22, 2017, with the purchase of 2-Day ticket and adding either park hopper option or the water park one. Guests staying in Moderate resorts receive Disney Dining Quick Plan Service for their whole stay and guests staying in Deluxe resorts receive the regular dining plan. I wonder if that's an indication that we may hear about FD after March 30

I definitely think this is a good sign. Someone last year posted from a Spanish site, and the dates ended up being the same for FD here! We may be able to run with this? Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the Quick Service for mods...apparently that is typical for other countries, and doesn't necessarily reflect that offer here. But then again, Disney does mix things up, so we just never know.

Are your spouses all up at 4am also? I don't mind being up, but DH already thinks I'm a bit nutso for Disney. If I'm up at 4am and he asks what the heck I'm doing....... I guess I can just tell him I'm a crazy disboarder!!!

Mine likes to go but they don't want no part of the planning so the answer is no my husband would kill me if I woke him up at 4 o'clock in the morning.

I hope your weather gets better so you can get outside.

I'm on the phone immediately at check in time and I've never gotten A boarding. But...usually are in B. If I wait just 10 more minutes cause the lines are busy, I end up at the end of B!

This is why I pay the extra for earlybird check in. I don't even have to check in myself and I get to board relatively early.

Hi all, so are the modify button and the change button the same thing? My sister and her family (who are going with us) went in and used the change button for the hotel. When she made the changes it wanted to charge her more money when she had already paid the deposit on the original reservation. If this was just a modification, wouldn't the original deposit apply? She ended up just booking a new reservation with the hotel she wanted and canceling. Wondering if anyone has any insights on why they would charge another fee...I think it was $200 more they wanted??? Just trying to figure this out before FD drops.

Did she have a package or just a room-only reservation ?

If room-only, then the first night cost of the new reservation was higher. I recently changed the resort for my resservation and had to pay the extra $33 for the first night deposit because the new resort is more expensive than the original.

Has anyone had trouble with WDW's website? I can't get it to load no matter what browser I use!

 

[Gatita78]

It could be any time. Maybe earlier. Maybe later.

I *think* maybe 2 or 3 years ago, the offer went up on the website just after midnight and people were reportedly booking it til maybe 2am. Then it went down again til about 6am.

Does anyone else remember that?

Yes. In 2015 I remembre booking FD after midnight

Yes, I was using it to price another trip, and it just stopped working. That was maybe 15 minutes ago. Still won't load now. I'm on my phone.

 

[Mrs Grumpy]

I just got into it with no issues.

I just got into it with no issues.

What browser do you use?

 

[JackieO]

It's working again.

 

[Annam3]

It's working again.

Ugh! Mine won't work. It loads but then disappears.

Was just on a few minutes ago and it was fine...but u know how finicky it can be.

 

[ThistleMae]

I have a quick question for you all. I may be adding a couple to my ADR's, but our schedule won't be solidified until we can book F+ at 30 days out. Should I add them now, just in case, or wait till then?

Thank you for sharing. I seriously hope it's not quick service for mods when released here. In that case it's offsite I go. It would cost about $700 for us to upgrade the quick service plan for 4 Disney adults.

Mine goes to bed but right before he lays down at 10pm he hands me a cup of coffee and says, "don't screw this up." lol
