"The Code" plus free dining?

[OverplanninJess]

DBF and I are planning on going in Aug.-our dates are flexible so we can go during the 40% week but he has his heart set on free dining...we went last May and paid for dining and it was SO worth it! I read somewhere on here (but I can't find it now!) that someone asked a CM when booking with the 40% code if free dining was offered later could they add it and that they were told yes (therefore getting both 40% off and free dining). Just wondering if anyone has any info on this ? Thanks!

You cannot stack promotions. You have to choose between one or the other.

Jess-

From one overplanner to another (love it!!), crunch your numbers. For me it was a better "deal" w/the 40% rather than free dining. So for the same price of a moderate w/AAA discount I am now staying at a deluxe w/the 40%!! I'm so excited! I'm debating even telling my husband & surprising him when we get there!!!

However, if free dining were to be offered again & we were to stay w/the moderate (I did this pricing too), the difference between the 40% discount & the free dining was $58 (free dining being $58 less).

Since free dining hasn't been announced yet, I decided to book now since it was still a very significant savings for us.

Hope this makes sense...it's getting kind of late for me!!

We are staying at AKL savana bunk beds (4 of us - 2A - 2 17 yo) with the 40% off deal, it works out to be $47 cheaper than the free dining would be.

We are saving $700 on the room at the Wilderness Lodge.. I think the dinning plan for us is $800... so its almost like getting free dinning.

Free dining has always been on full rack rate. Disney will not allow you to combine offers.

With the 40% off AKL standard view is almost $200 cheaper than it would be if free dining would be offered & we paid rack rates for it!! I just couldn't pass it up! I'm really excited!!

I hope I can wait to tell him! We're not leaving until September, so I'm still debating! I'd love to get there, get on the DME & SURPRISE not CSR, but AKL instead!!
