Question regarding possible Free Dining in August

[Sheaky]

I am planning a trip for mid to late August 2009 and I am curious about a few things. I am wondering that IF Disney offers free dining, if you are booked through DVC, is it also abailable to DVC members? Or is it only for people who book a vacation in one of the other resorts? If they do make it available to DVC members, do you have to re book your vacation in order to get the free dining?

Thanks for the help.

Free dining is not offered for DVC stays

Hi there! Unfortunately, Free Dining does not apply to DVC members using DVC points at all.

Free Dining is an incentive for travellers to book rooms on cash.

Hope this helps!

FYI, check the codes boards on the resort boards. It looks like free dining will be offered in Aug. Some people have gotten an email with a pin code for free dining starting Aug 16th.

As you already know, unfortunately this is not for DVC members.

If you go over to the DIS DDP board, you'll find a sticky at the top entitled "Free Dining Watch & Discussion 2009."

You'll probably find up to date info there. You'll also find WAY more information than you would ever want about DDP on that board. There are apparently folks who live and die for DDP...just like us here!

You can get it at a DVC resort but only through CRO on a cash reservation.

Thank you all for your responses. I didn't think they would give free dining to DVC members, but I wanted to make sure. Do any of you know how they send you a PIN in an email? I read that, and was confused by that.

Thanks again.

I received a pin code once, year ago. WDW Marketing, apparently has certain criteria that it scans for in their database of previous guests. What the criteria may be varies with the type of traveler they are trying to target.

Mine was simply a mailed post card, with an offer and a Personal Identification Number code printed on it. It looks like you were maybe thinking it was a code printed on a literal wearable pin, but a PIN it is simply a code number included in an email.

my fiance and I both got this pin in our email and we own.
