Resorts always not on free dining promo?

[petunia]

Is there a list of the resorts that are typically never included on the free dining promo, I believe AoA mermaid rooms is one? Wondering particularly about SSR.

Thanks!

Found this:

Typically, there are some resorts that aren’t included in the promotion. In the past (this could obviously change), the following resorts have NOT been included in Free Dining:

• Grand Floridian Villas
• Polynesian Villas and Bungalows
• Fort Wilderness campsites (cabins are generally included)
• 3-bedroom villas
• Art of Animation’s Little Mermaid rooms
• All-Star Movies
• One of the Port Orleans resorts

The PO resort that is not usually included is French Quarter.

Last year Beach Club rooms were not included either. I think the 2 bdrim suites were but they were out of my price range.

WE ended up booking a 2 bdrim villa at OKW< but IIRC SSR was included as well.

OP- When a CM advised that BC was not going to be included for our dates, my family took a few hours to "explore" the other resorts that would accomodate our group on Youtube. I think it pays to be prepared to make a decision quickly because the inventory can be limited at best. We knew what our budget was, and after checking out the options we knew which resorts would fit in and which resorts were not going to work, so when FD dropped I was able to jump right on our first preference, right after having confirmed BC was not there. I saw options falling off quickly after I went back in to see if there was something that I missed that my crew would prefer.
