Question about free dining ~

[weedles]

Hi all! While hoping to receive the latest elusive free dining pin I have a question about the booking requirements...

I believe you must stay 5 nights or more - Staying for 7 so no worry

You need to purchase at least 2 Day tickets - THATS my issue ~ While i do need to purchase tickets for ds & dd I already have APs for dh & myself. So would the purchase of 2 tickets cover me or does it have to be 1 for each party in room????

Thanks so much for your insight!!!

Everyone on the reservation must have the same components, i.e. all 2 day tickets, all dining plan (or none), etc.

So yes, you must purchase at least 2 day tickets for everyone in the room. You may have the tickets for yourself & DH separated from your key card and put onto a plain card or paper ticket. You may then upgrade the kids tickets to the number of days you need. You can use 'your' tickets for a later date.

Would like to see what anyone else has to say - I always thought as long as you had the one day standard ticket, you could get the dining plan for every day you were booked in the resort.

So - - - if it was FD then I was assuming that that you could get it as long as you had the one day standard day ticket for everyone in the room purchased with the reservation.

Mrs D your post hit at the same time I posted - so it has to be a two day ticket, not one ??

I have been trying to run the numbers for Oct in case free dining or a room code comes out for our dates (right now our dates are still on black out) and I was figuring in a one day standard ticket for everyone to get the dining plan (we have tickets for the week already, just no dining) - guess I will go back and make that a 2 day standard ticket to see where I can save the most money.

Two day tickets for free dining.

Two day tickets for free dining.

Is this a stipulation with this new PIN in particular? When we booked our January 2011 trip, it was with free dining and we only purchased a one day ticket each for three people with our 5 night stay.

Thank you so much for your inputs!!!! If we only had to purchase 2 extra @ 1 day it wouldnt matter much, I would use those towards renewing my APs. But I dont know that I would purchase the 2 2 days tickets being worth it Ughh y do they have to make it so complicated. And to add to the buzz Ive seen today on a few boards that there may be FD pins going into NovemberThe wait goes onnnn

I don't know a whole lot about this. But I just wanted to add that I've seen others mention the 5 night requirement for the FD pin...I got it last night and we are only staying 4 nights.
Oh, and we each have a day ticket left over from my mom's trip a loooong time ago, so we added 3 day tickets for each of us....but I'm pretty sure when she asked how long we needed tickets for she did say it was a 2 day minimum.
