I have a question. We were looking at a trip, checking in on March 31 (which is the last day of the current promotion). If we check in that date, will fhe free dining cover our entire stay?
Thanks!
I was told "no" when I called, but with different dates that yours. I was trying to check in on Dec. 3rd (last day of promotion for that week) and staying until the 11th. I was told that wouldn't work. I'm curious to see if anyone is told something different when they call.
I got free dining day applied to a vacation I already had booked. It took me 27 attempts to get through the phone lines to speak to a CM and get the FD applied to my ressie. I'm excited it came out for our dates!!
I was able to book for a week starting 1-14, the last day of FD for that previous week. I would call back.
Already had a trip booked to start Oct. 7th. Called in today, upgraded from All Star Sports to the Caribbean Beach and saved $800. Same trip, better resort. Happy Birthday to me. Should I tell my wife or surprise her when we land?

and can upgrade to the Deluxe Plan if you are staying at a Moderate or Deluxe Resort. The Deluxe Dining Plan has never been included in any free dining promos. Here is a breakdown of FD upgrade costs for 2011:

Thanks for all your help!!
We got our FD for Dec.and added a extra day at the end of our stay.
I called at 7:00 and the wait was worth it!
No, I'm sorry, but they will not let you do that. You would need to do a room only reservation for that one night and start your package the next day to get the discount. Please see this thread on info about Free Dining and Split Stays:Question: We are booked for the Nov 20th through 29th (we have a wedding to attend on Nov 19 and it is impossible to get there that day). Is it possible to book the room and pay in advance and just not check in until the 20th (in other words pay for the extra night of Nov 19th and extra day of tickets, but not physically be there til Nov 20th)?
I doubt it , but it's the only thing I can think of short of making my 70 yo father drive from PA to FLA and check in for me that day
Yes, the appetizer is included in the Deluxe plan. For children, an appetizer is also included in the Basic/Plus DDP.I wanted to thank you, Princess Tiffany, for being so very helpful about these FD upgrade details. I did not even think about this route, but it helps me out a lot!
Can anyone just confirm for me one more time (because I tend to get these things wrong!) that Deluxe Dining does include appetizer, while Basic/Plus does not include appetizer? Do children also get the appetizer as well? (I would rather they get a soup or appetizer than get dessert every time, so this is very appealing to me.)

Surprise her!!
I guess, since we won't be in the room at all we don't really think so.
Have you looked into remaining in the value resort and upgrading to full dining? That way you only spend a little more to upgrade food, not a lot more to upgrade room.
It's never been cheaper for us to go to a moderate, even with the full dining there.
