Free Dining Watch 2009 - Dates Released!! Update post 1 - Page 102 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Stacied68 · 03-26-2009, 08:00 AM

That's how it was last year. As long as you check in before the promotion ends, it is good for your whole stay.

Have a great trip.

2 agents later, 3 reservations later and FINALLY FD!!!

trixiemuffin · 03-26-2009, 08:05 AM

Finally!!!!!!! Looks like the code problem has been worked out; added FD to our previous ressie for POP 8/18-8/26!

Thanks everyone for all the great info!

I have decided to wait and take whatever I get...I need to book 2 rooms, sooooo hopefully it all works out but I will be a mess until mid April...

Crystal824 · 03-26-2009, 08:20 AM

Yay. I can't wait to book. Unfortunately that won't be until later today because I am at work. I'm flexible. I want POFQ, but I will accept any moderate or even any value.

ruthma · 03-26-2009, 08:20 AM

Did anyone get it at Animal Kingdom Lodge?

Thanks

yrdlyprincess · 03-26-2009, 08:22 AM

I so wonder if I should change my dates-- since we are going in Nov--I really want to get free dining! Hoping for the same deal that came out last year!!

hrh_disney_queen · 03-26-2009, 08:26 AM

Thanks to everyone keeping us updated on this thread. I have been lurking, then forgot about it until yesterday when I saw the buzz about today. Got up early saw that it didn't look like it would happen today, then a WONDERFUL

(you know who you are, pm sent) Disser came on to say that it WAS going on today. I called and got my first FD for 8/23-8/27 at PC, which I had already booked at AAA rate. They just changed it over to FD for me.

I am keeping my bounce back rate at YC for the next 4 days, the savings won't be as great as the PC portion. This will be a great way to introduce ourselves to the DP, I'm so excited I can't believe it!!

Thank you everyone!!

lilys.mom · 03-26-2009, 08:27 AM

Woo Hooo

Someone please confirm!

So the rumors have indeed been true and if this holds true nonDV should be able to book Monday morning??

Will it be a diff code or do I need one at all. Already booked my package for 9/20-9/24 at CBR!

GirlfromTN · 03-26-2009, 08:30 AM

If my trip was October 1-4, would I qualify for free dining? Do you just need to check in during free dining, and then you qualify for the length of your stay? Thanks!

Tomh · 03-26-2009, 08:30 AM

Be persistent folks. My mother called at 7:00, was told to call back. She called again at 8:00, same thing, and at 9:00. I called at about 9:20, and managed to get the free dining booked at POR for Aug 23rd through Sept 5th.

They did not request a code from me, but they may still need one. I am guessing the DV card number would replace a code.?
