Unreasonable Disney?

[gavone1976]

The free meal plan starts 12/12/13 this year and we check in to a 2 bedroom Beach Club Vila on 12/9/13 and checkout 12/16/13 and Disney will not allow us to take advantage of the free meal plan at all.
Is there someone or some department at Disney someone can suggest for me to call?

The resorts use this free dining discount to sell rooms at resorts that are under sold or at a low occupancy rate. It is not guaranteed.
It's not that they won't let you, but that they do not have any eligible rooms with the offer available.

Your check in day must be within the promotion dates. There is no one to call.

You would need to change to two reservations. Check in 12/9 and out 12/12. Check in again 12/12 and out 12/16.

I was thinking the same thing ,but the free meal plan is only good for 6night/7day stays.

Are you on points? Free dining is never available on points.

If you aren't on points and are paying cash for your Villa room, you are probably still out of luck, free dining is seldom available on cash reservations at BCV, they use it to fill rooms, they don't have an issue filling those rooms - especially at that time of year.

That is just what they advertise. It is really minimum 3 nights stay, with 2 day park tickets.

I believe the minimum is a 2 night stay? Disney usually uses 6 nights as an example.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That's right! 3 nite stay, 2 day park tickets.

So I can change our check in date at the Villa to 12/12/2013,and I can stay somewhere else for the first 3 nights.This way I will have free meals for four of my 7 nights!

Possibly.. you would need to call.

Also be aware that your park tickets will have to be included in the package so you will need your park tickets to be on the second package so you will have to pick them up early.

I have heard you can pick the tickets up early but I have also heard it can give you trouble.

Honestly, if you can use the room discount only I would stick with that.
