Woo hoo free dining offer!!!

[disneybeachprincess]

Welcome to DVC, hope they can get you in the system soon. Hope you didn't take my comment as negative. I am truly glad free dining works for so many. Our next door neighbors take advantage of it every year, and when you are a family of 6, with two kids over the age of 10, it is a huge savings. I've even utilized it once upon a time (first year I think) when my mom wanted to stay in a non-DVC resort. With 4 adults on that trip it saved us big money. For our upcoming trip we are only hoping to make about 4 ADR at6 months out and figure out the rest of our dining as we go down there, so I'm hoping that not all the restaurants will be packed.

Hi Hollymom1229 - No worries! Thanks for the welcome

Glad that it's starting AFTER we leave to come home! That should make our ADR's a lot more pleasant to book for a change. The last couple of times we went in August they had it start earlier in the month and I had a miserable time booking our ADR's. Nice that some people look forward to it but for us who DON'T use the DP it's a royal pain.

I'm not so sure too many of us will share in your exuberance as most DVCers feel this is the main reason that WDW dining has declined and it's has made getting reservations difficult.

Whole heartedly agree, but enjoy your "free" dining!

I am a brand new DVC owner so I appreciate your response...I guess my thinking was that some DVC owners might stay on cash reservations as well & might be interested in free dining. Lesson learned! Have a great weekend

I am a DVC'er but also make FD reservations. I am not taking advantage of this new offer as I already have reservations in August for FD at POR (booked via Bounceback last August).

To me, the biggest drawback of FD is that I have to purchase 2 day park tickets for the family when I already have APs. I eventually will use (or trade up) the tickets, but it might be a couple of years down the road.
