2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[Nancyg56]

Hope everyone has found their needs met by the offer that rolled out!

I did!!! Thank you!

How?? I keep refreshing and it says "we cant find that offer"...

I just clicked that link (10:40am EST) and it worked. I have a feeling non-DV holders are using that link only to find out when they proceed to checkout they are S.O.L

I want mine to say: My Wife Made Me Stay Up For Free Food.

Whoa whoa whoa...your wife did NOT make you stay up for free dining. You did that on your own! I fall asleep for a little bit and I'm getting blamed for stuff...sheesh! Hope everyone is staying calm(ish) this morning. Good luck!

Did you have the park hopper originally?

I had the ph and WP&M already booked on my package, we like to do both

 

[Wood Nymph]

Not sure if this has been asked yet... I was fortunate to change my reservation to free dining, didn't have to switch my room choice either However, the price did increase by $170! I don't mind paying an extra $170 to eat for 11 days, but does anyone think this is unusual? I thought my room price would stay the same.
And I was able to change my resse to free dining online and I printed a confirmation email from the website. I have not yet rec'd an email with my changes - should I be concerned about this? I figured I would call in a day or two once the free dining excitement calms down a little? what does anyone think?

If you had booked your original reservation before the ticket prices increased then I would guess that the additional $170 comes from the higher ticket prices.

Weird...not sure what to tell you. Maybe try a different browser or clearing your history/cookies? I'm not logged in to the Disney site or anything and if I click the link I posted it takes me straight to the deal. Sorry

No you are fine, I'm just getting crabby with all of this lol. You have at least given me hope! Back to the phones I guess... But thank you for at least letting me know!!!

The room only discounts for October seem pretty much non-existent.

They are non existent---unless you are looking for Club level. I just booked 14 days at Universal in October. Bigger rooms less money. And the reason I am going to be at Disney in October is because my daughter is getting married there. I think out of the 65 people she has attending only 20 are staying at Disney. Very disappointing. When we said something about the barely there discount given to the wedding guest we were told you can book any other offer that is available during your stay---well yes we can---but not if there aren't any!!! I think I will call group reservations discuss the possibility of booking the Room only discount being offered even though there is no availability. It is so bad the Bride and Groom are thinking about staying off property.

 

[momdisfan]

Probably the difference in price to add ph or wp&m to your tickets.

I already had both of them on my reservations

 

[Jadyreen1282]

AMEN to that! I will be booking before the end of arrival day!

We learned our lesson couple of years back.

Anyone else having a child's ticket (3-9 years) show as a "10 and older ticket" in MDE? I know MDE always has wonky stuff, but curious if this is happening for anyone else. My reservation confirmation email shows the correct information.

 

[twoolle]

Anyone else having issues booking ADR's right now? Keep getting the "Paws" message.

 

[momdisfan]

If you had booked your original reservation before the tickets prices increased then I would guess that the additional $170 comes from the higher ticket prices.

Perhaps that is it! Thank you - I did book my package in February. Can't complain as I am still saving about $2000!!!!

No you are fine, I'm just getting crabby with all of this lol. You have at least given me hope! Back to the phones I guess... But thank you for at least letting me know!!!

I'm not even booking a vacation but I just like seeing the excitement here...keep trying. Did you try a different browser by chance?

Just so you know, I just refreshed and a standard room for your dates is still there at CBR! It's almost tempting me though to book it haha (don't worry)!!

 

[Shadowcat70]

We bit the bullet and booked Pop for August 23rd - 31st, because our original dates were not available. At least the kids won't miss school.

 

[DisBuckMan]

I already had both of them on my reservations

Don't know then, unless you had some kind of discount on your original reservation, and had to pay rack rate for the FD promo.

 

[mikkishelles]

Three and a half hours and I FINALLY succeeded in modifying my reservation to include free dining! I upgraded my room from standard at CBR to a Pirate Room.. My price, even with the upgrade, dropped $1200..I am so excited!!!

 

[momdisfan]

If you booked your original package before the ticket prices went up, that increase could be the new ticket prices. Or maybe you had a promo on your original package, and free dining charges rack rate on your room...

Thank you - it's probably the ticket price increases - free dining is still a great deal for our family even with the increase cost of the tickets

Yep, mine has shown this for both of my kid's tickets for a few days now. They are 3 and 8. Weird.

What time did all this actually go live? I woke up at 2:10 MDT without an alarm, decided to check since I was awake anyway, and there it was. I was able to book our first choice which was POP Standard with a RO discount at the end of October and just completed all my ADRs even though no FD for us.

Did everyone else get what they were hoping for?

 

[karen230]

Just got the room discount for October! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you, especially Black. It took me 2.5 hours to get through, so don't give up hope!

What discount did you get for October? When I called she said there wasn't anything available
