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

[KimBean]

You will probably be okay since you are ordering something. They may look at you sternly and say, "you may not share!" but if you explain your not being able to eat pasta or pizza, they should fine with it. What Via Napoli will not let you do is use one credit to feed two people; most other venues have no problem with that.

I can't eat any of theirs so definitely not sharing. I however have an intolerance not an allergy so I don't want them to get all uppity and start telling me what I can and can't eat. Like something dusted in flour and cooked doesn't bother me but a dish where the bulk of it is dough or pasta will. I would definitely be cheating some (donut) but trying to be good where I can make easy choices.

I don't want a stern look and being scolded though. I'm not cheating them in anyway. And making me feel like I'm doing something wrong might just ruin my meal. I would just not go here but my teenager really wants it.

Sorry, but I'm getting confused with who is who. By looking at your photos, I'm guessing your DS is a Disney adult, so your plan will work. However, if he's a Disney kid and you save his credits, you will have two kid's credits to use and no adult credits to go with them. Also, if you're doing the F! pkg at HBD, they will charge you the F! package price for everyone, no matter what they eat.

I'm pretty sure in the beginning of the discussion she was talking about her child being a Disney adult.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. I took the keys off and compressed aired them. Rebooted. Removed battery.

As it's a column, I'm resigned to having to remove the keyboard and clean the ribbon.
But I don't really have time for it at the moment.

I spilled tea on the keyboard of my MacBook.
The damage was irreversible but.. I have plugged in an external keyboard and mouse and just use it at my desk now. It's not a permanent solution, but if you need a temporary fix to make sure it's usable, this could work.
Mine was a temporary solution and now it's been like this for two years. I use my iPad for everything else so it works fine.

I just got an offer in the mail yesterday for up to 30% off through 8/31. Is it typical for Disney to offer this and free dinning at the same time...not using them together obviously...ive never noticed them having two very different types of offers like these at the same time. Is this normal?

My dd is a vegetarian and there was plenty for her to eat. She requested Biergarten for this trip as well. I can't remember if there is any chicken or fish on the buffet, but dd loved it.

If you're worried about them saying no, I wouldn't do it. Via Napoli is renowned for their strict policy - I'd expect they'll charge you a credit b/c you are using DDP and then you'll have to fight to take it off. If you don't want a fight, you might want to pass on the restaurant or see if there's any entree on the menu you'll eat or just pay for everyone OOP...

Good morning everyone. I see there is no good news yet.

Are the others eating pizza? That restaurant to me is one better paying oop. Especially if they can share pizzas.

I know you have a lot of people who agree with you but I don't know how to fit it all in, in less than a day and a half and only dh does rock n roller coaster and tower of terror while we wait for Fantasmic. What do you skip to make it a half day park?

This is what we have down to do this trip:
Frozen sing along
Muppets
Beauty and the beast show
Indiana jones show
Voyage little mermaid
One mans dream
Toy story mania
Launch bay
Star tours
March storm troopers
Star Wars galaxy show
Star Wars fireworks projection show
Great movie ride
Fantasmic

Meet and greets:
Buzz
Moana (if still there)
Mickey & Minnie
Characterpalooza

Since we are so quiet here just curious what people skip to make it a half day.

We went two years ago when more was open, so I can't even quite remember what we did from the now "closed" list, but below is what we prioritize/are planning.

Muppets
Beauty and the beast show
Indiana jones show
Voyage little mermaid
One mans dream
Toy story mania
Launch bay
Star tours
March storm troopers
Star Wars galaxy show
Star Wars fireworks projection show
Fantasmic

Meet and greets:
Buzz (we usually do this in MK)
Moana (if still there)
Mickey & Minnie

We didn't get to Indiana Jones and Fantasmic last time and all aren't interested in Frozen Sing Along (DH would kill me and the youngest is an 11 yr old boy who would also kill me- though I must make all of the Star Wars stuff!) If time is a crunch, we've also cut One mans dream.

We are going Sept 16-24. Waiting not so patiently for FD info to drop We're going to upgrade our tickets to AP while there. How soon can we do it so we can get MM and keep FD?

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will look back at the menu. I could do something like chicken Parmesan without the pasta. Maybe they have a salad.

Yeah it will not only irritate me but also get me angry. I can understand how they don't want sharing because pizza is an easy thing to share but if not touching their food and ordering my own then I might get really irritated and so will dh. I don't need that on vacation.

 

[KimBean]

Okay also a good idea. I actually like this idea better. I am just going to pay for this OOP and use my credits elsewhere. Then they won't care who orders and eats what right?

 

[Moocabn2258]

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.

Have you done any of the dessert parties before? We've never done one and I've always wondered if it was worth it. Are the sweets yummy?

My DD 24 is going with us in Sept and we were thinking of doing Biergarten she does not eat red meat or pork. Is their stuff their she can eat.

Google biergarten then click images. You will see lots of pics from the buffet. Also disney food blog and yelp had pictures. I don't like sausage and still lots of variety here.

ROL dining package is not just for dinner-you can do a ROL breakfast. Characters are also there at every meals so whichever time you want to eat three you could get a ROL package and characters for only a small increase of price-an increase that is covered in the cost of a TS credit making it a good value, especially if you were going to eat there anyway.

Be advised though-if your 180 day Monday then ROL dining packages are not out yet. ROL dining packages are only out through September 30th for now. I am waiting for an October 1st dining package so I feel your pain.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Woke up from my post-night shift coma yesterday and saw your post. Logged on and was able to book the ROL Tusker House breakfast dining package for 9/30 at exactly the time we needed for a party of 7. I would have had no clue otherwise it was now available. You Rock!!!

They also have soup and different salads usually salmon which is so good along with at least one chicken option

Ok maybe this is a stupid question or my lack of enthusiasm creeping up - say the dreaded happens - no heads up FD just drops - given the amount of helpful and considerate people I see post here can I assume someone will still post hey you guys FD is up ???

I just really want news already can you tell?!

 

[disneydreamer1980]

I finally figured out all the adr's we're going to do, then all of this talk about Biergarten is making me reconsider...I might have to swap out my Tutto Italia for it...
