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

[kimyinpink]

Oh, what the heck. I'll ask for the PM as well.

On another hand I do have a question. Keep in mind this is all hypothetical.....

Say that free dining opened up on Dec. 9, and we arrived on Dec. 8. Am I correct in thinking that we could do a split stay and book a single night to cover Dec. 8, then book an entire package to cover the FD from Dec. 9 onward?

Yes we did this last year. You would do room only for the first night and then your package would start the next day.

Don't know what we're talking about, but I definitely want PMs...

You are correct

 

[JackieO]

Hey let's all meet up and stay at the Poly via this deal.

Can I get the pm as well?

 

[KimBean]

You get points for naughty behavior. At a certain amount of points you get booted.

I got points once for saying a certain 3 letter word for rear end and replacing the s's with money symbols. I thought I was turning a bad word into an appropriate substitution while still getting my point across but it turns out it was considered just as bad. They were nice about it I learned the error of my way. No more points for me.

Got it. Thanks. So like demerits. Well I probably got one the other day. I got a bunch of **** when I said a nice version of a bad word (mild.) I only asked as a joke anyway. I can't afford deluxe. Value for the win!!

Oh my goodness. I better brush up on my disboards rules. Can you imagine if I got myself kicked off just before FD dropped?!

Yes that is correct

I'm in the same boat for September! HS only takes a half day at best but I want to see all of the night time entertainment. So difficult to plan without the dates/times set. I've never seen Fantasmic, so I really want to do that this trip, but my brother is in LOVE with Star Wars so we'll definitely want to see that show as well!

We're going in September, too. Fantasmic is one of my favorite shows! But, from what I understand, it's next to impossible to see it and the Star Wars laser show the same night. Since I haven't seen it, and I'm a SW fan, I guess I know which show I'm seeing. I'm hoping to score the dessert party for that one.

 

[JackieO]

I have a question. We're doing a couple of 2TS meals. Can I use one credit and pay the difference OOP?

 

[JadeDarkstar]

Ok, Guy's I don't want us or anyone getting booted. I got the info I got, from another here on the dis years ago. We are asked not to talk about it by the dis team so I will not pass any more pm requests I am sorry. I think you all can find them by searching past years posts and things like that. (Good luck)

A friend just told me she tried booking wilderness today for nov30- dec5 and nothing is available she was floored and having pop warner at corondo and construction at cbr making me wonder if my December trip is going to be crowded now

I've been thinking about the idea of Disney phasing out the FD deal over time and I wonder if it would actual be good for them to keep us hoping for it but limiting it A LOT (l don't mean this year, I mean in the future!!). I know that in the hopes of free dining we have already made our ADRs, and now that we've put so much thought into them, each of us choosing our top two, we are really looking forward to them! To be honest, now I don't know that I wouldn't just figure out how to pay for them OOP. The right of canceling all those ADRs makes me really sad! The idea of building excitement and getting us to dream seems like a really good marketing strategy.

We have done that before. If you have a couple of 2TS meals, I would use DP for the meal that costs the most. There are websites that compare OOP for each restaurant.

To everyone asking for the PM, as others have posted, people can get in trouble for posting about this offer or the name of other agencies on these boards. This includes giving the info through PMs. Ive seen warnings given just for asking about it on other threads. There been numerous warnings on other threads about this, and the mods can close threads if these rules aren't being adhered to. I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't want to see others getting in trouble, having their accounts deactivated, or having this thread shut down. If you are looking for good deals, check out the Resorts forum: Disney Discount Codes and rates subforum. Also a Google search can pull up Disney deals from other agencies, but we are not permitted to discuss that here. Again, I just don't want to see this thread getting shut down or anyone getting in trouble. Thanks!

OK Mods, we are all sorry and promise to behave!!!

Do you mean one of your party uses 2TS credits to pay for their meal while the other person pays OOP? Or do you each use a TS credit and pay the difference?

The ONLY way to do this is for one person to use 2 TS credits and the other person to pay OOP. You cannot combine credits and money to pay for ONE meal, unless it is a meal that requires an upcharge.

Same here.

These U.K. deals that keep coming out for a year in advance basically doesn't make me worry so much as I am jealous, I think if we start to see way more restrictions on them then we may need to worry a little at this point especially this year many people I believe are saving for next year and 2019 with so many HUGE attractions coming, I don't think Pandora is gonna produce the numbers they want, they still need to put good or shall I say popular offers on the table!

Thanks. We got the heads up a few pages ago. Did not know. Assumed pm - private messages were private.

No biggie to me though I was just curious on pricing (not going to use it) I really don't like how TAs work. So much mystery. So much information to fill out before I can know anything. I just don't work that way. I don't know what I want until I know my options.

None of this against dreams, never had any interaction with them at all. I actually need a NON Disney TA and can't get anyone to respond to me - not here on phone, email, etc. Lol!!!
