What date did FD start for Nov & Dec for 2018?

[mickeys friend]

What date did FD start for November and December 2018? I know nothing is written in stone about any ( if any) FD for coming out for 2019 but just wondering. Also is FQ still not included? What about the Contemporary?

I would expect this year to look different than years past. This year so much new stuff coming the end of 2019 Star wars etc that they won't need a promotion to fill rooms. No doubt the offer dates will be different.

I would not count on free dining while I’m hopping for it . With Star Wars opening 2019 I cant imagine them needing to fill rooms .We had a pin code for spring hopping for a fall one something is better than nothing. Best of luck I hope you get pixi dust .

FD was extremely limited for some dates last year. I was able to book it for December 2018 at OKW, but was hitting those buttons as soon as it released.

This year I booked a BB for December 10 through 17 and the availability was already almost nonexistent. The CM moved dates around to secure that one for me, and when I explained I really wanted a room for 5 she almost fainted. I took what I booked and figured I would cross the bridges later.

I think that I would book whatever you will be comfortable with and paying for if your dates are set and you are traveling even without a discount. I would not count on FD unless Disney needs to fill random rooms, and then I woudl be prepared to change your resort and perhaps your dates.

Wow, there go all of my hopes for scoring any type of discount-- specially FD! (my bad for switching from Universal on Thanksgiving itself)

If/when FD is released its released for all dates.
In recent years is been released in lateish April.
Lately November dates have been extrmeely limited so just a few days near the end of the month.
December has generally been for a couple weeks in the middle.
FQ still excluded.
I don't think Contemporary has ever been excluded.
I know "everyone" is saying no FD at all for Nov/Dec but if you base the chances on what the FD BB was then yes there certainly should be FD for GP in Nov/December.
Decembers dates will likely be December 6th to 22nd.

I would not give up the ship! Just keep following the discount pages here, and then be proactive. If FD is offered just be sure to jump right in and book. I got up at 2AM the night it was rumored to be released, and was chatting with our local Disney TA, who was also up. She had been led to believe it would not drop but also was taking no chances, and was up monitoring for it to open up. It did and I booked ASAP.

Be prepared to switch resorts if need be, and have a good idea where you are willing to go. I had watched youtube videos with the family so we had an idea what woudl work for us, as I had heard from a CM the Beach Club likely would not be included. It was not but OKW was and it also worked for us and was in our price point.

FD was released this morning for dates of July 5-September 30th, 2019. It is almost 4 months earlier then normal. I wouldn’t expect those dates to change and be extended since October has been excluded for a couple years now and minimal for November. With Galaxies Edge opening in the fall they won’t need the discounts to bring people in.

I need to buy a phone... card... thing, since I'm from Latin America and I can't actually call Disney World without it running up quite a tab. I *was* hoping for FD, but at this stage even a Room Discount would make my trip.
Well, I'm open to any of the Values, though I've stayed at the Sports on my first trip and would rather not repeat just so I can see something different, and AoA is way out of my price range.

Here's still the slight hope that they'll release something for Oct-Dec by late April, as they seemed to do the previous years?
