Question about Free Dining......

[grumpy28]

We are considering doing free dining in Sept. Can we substitute a CS meal for a TS meal? We would much prefer not having our day wrapped up in a reservation. We would rather have 2 CS meals. Is this allowed? TIA

In the past, WDW has announced that they would accept TS credits as a trade for CS meals during free dining (due to overbooking at TS restaurants). There has been no similar announcement for this year yet.

Unless they make an official announcement that substitutions will be allowed, they won't be.

Thanks for the answer!

I never heard about them giving a trade like OP's talking about of 2 CS meals for 1 TS...

What everyone posts about is that they gave 1 CS meal + some free item (worth $5-$7 or so, like a Disney lanyard) in exchange for the TS meal...and only did that on days when there actually were too many DDP users & not enough available TS?

I am hoping that they will announce that it can be done! I want to trade a TS for a CS (not 2 CS for 1 TS).

They offered the trade for the past two years.

I think it was one TS - CS plus either a lanyard and pin set or a coupon for 2 snacks that had to be redeemed at the same time or a poster. I got the pin/lanyard set it wasn't very nice. The lanyards were plain blue and the pink choices were Mickey, Donald or Goofy on a plane. I traded one TS that I didn't use because I was feeling sick one night when everyone else ate.
