tickets with the free dining?

If you book with a Uk agent say TCD for the free dining promo holiday do the tickets get put on the room key when you arrive or do you still have seperate tickets from TCD?

I believe the only way is on the room key.
I emailed Disney last year. Wanted to do offsite for 18 nights then end holiday with 7 nights onsite with free DDP. I obviously wanted my 21 day pass to start from early in the holiday not when we checked in onsite. They said it was not possible as the pass would be included on my roomkey at checkin, would not be able to use it before. We did not bother just stayed offsite.

I thought that was the case. Otherwise you could keep the passes for another holiday.
We have annual passes so once we paid for the tickets it wouldn't really be worth our while to get the free dining. Oh well

We have the same problem,
Everything is against us doing the free DDP and staying onsite. We have AP's so sam prob as you, I would hate having to plan ADR's and would annoy me so much paying $10/day for internet connection. We would also eat way too much just because its there.
I am hoping to get Courtyard by Marriott again for 25 nights at £25/night and eat offsite. Way better value than free DDP.

Yeah have to agree.
We own DVC so usually split our stays between a villa and onsite. To be honest we rarely eat at Disney even when we stay on site, we always have a car and have our fav places to eat. Plus we hate being set to a time to eat, so usually end up cancelling ADR's we've made. But if it was free we would of given it a go.
We always take our laptop and try to not use it much when we stay on-site due to the cost, the $10 is a little steep! LOL
