    OFFICIAL 2020 Free Dining WATCH Thread - FREE DINING No Longer Available. First Post Updated with Details

    i was able to book a free dining package this morning. i opted to call in rather than try booking this online as i wanted to ask them to price out a few different resorts before i made my decision. from my experience, that goes quicker on the phone with a CM than using the app or webpage...

    call center or online - which "opens" first?

    so I know there is always a mad rush to book when a discount drops or a dining booking window opens. I thought I remembered seeing it somewhere that the call center opens earlier than the online reservations by an hour - or I could have that backwards. does anyone know?

    photopass videos - how to download?

    the download button is greyed out when I view the videos on my photopass account. do I have to purchase the entire memory maker package to get these videos or is there a way to download them and pay for them individually, like you can for individual photos?

    BOG light up goblet - replacement?

    we purchased one of these for DD the last night of our vaca. it was pricey! it didn't survive the lovely baggage handlers on the flight home. not Disney's problem so I am not expecting them to gift me a new one, but....that said I know they replace some things for lesser reasons. anyone...

    Jungle Skipper Canteen

    I REALLY wanted to like this place, but I have to say I not one of the 3 of us in our party cared for our meal. we are pretty adventurous eaters, even DD, who is 12 - so our displeasure had nothing to do with some of the comments I have read on other threads about the menu being to exotic or...

    can we take our 12 year old into WDW bars?

    ok, that title sounds like we are horrible parents!!! but seriously, not sure if La Cava del Tequila and Trader Sam's Grotto qualify as strictly bars (and therefore children would not be permitted) or since they serve some food, if it is acceptable to bring a minor in. we aren't looking to...

    Just for fun - best and worst meal you had at WDW

    BEST - a tie between Cali Grill the scallops (this was before the menu change, so it is not the same dish they serve now) and Boatwrights prime rib. both were memorable and I had both of them years ago. WORST - hands down it was at Cinderella's Royal Table - again, years ago, this item is...

    Yehaa Bob - Update

    Whew - glad to hear it. Bob is one of the things we look forward to on each trip. I tell everyone I know who is headed to WDW to make the time to catch Bob's show. such a great time. he even was able to crack the grumpy exterior of my teen - by the end of the show a kid who normally looks...

    cost to upgrade to standard dining plan if staying at a value resort during FD?

    so in looking at the info from last year's FD promo, if you stayed at a value resort the quick service dining plan came with it, but it states that if you want to upgrade to the standard dining plan you can do so for a fee. anyone have any idea what that fee would be?
