2018 Free Dining Watch Thread V3

[KT0191]

Does FD work with a bounce back offer? I have a bounce back trip booked in Sept that falls into the dates and would love to be able to add FD if so. This is only my second WDW trip so I’m new to all of this, sorry if it has been asked before.

No. In order to get free dining, you pay full rack rate on resort rooms plus the ticket requirements for it. No other discounts can be applied.

I wonder if they will wait till its the 24th on the west coast. So like a 3am est or later drop time?

That’s a good point... sadly my brain won’t let me sleep lol back to refreshing I go

Free Dining isn't going to fall into my reservation dates, so I'm going to get some sleep. For those of you making the long overnight haul, may the odds be ever in your favor.

I'm thinking about taking a nap until 3am EST. But then again my OCD probably won't let me....

I hope not... I am on the west coast and need to get some sleep after checking in every couple of hours last night. I was really hoping for midnight EST cuz its still a descent time here... Come on Disney!!! Its FD time....

We won't know about Disney Visa till it hits, it might be tonight or in the morning.[/QUOTE]
Thoughts Please!! I’m staying up hoping for the Disney visa offer since my stay starts 8/13. Last year it was announced at noon the day of the drop. Question..I’m staying up all night to see if a Fisney Visa offer drops as well tonight. Is it likely that it’ll be offered tonight?

Question about TA booking... My TA is also on the watch and said they are pulling all all nighters.. Do the agents have their own online way to book? I just recall her always calling things to the agent desk in.. and I believe they open at 7am... So if it drops earlier, are agent out of luck? or is there an agent site online too? or will the agent desk open early???

edit: she has also neer failedin getting us FD too

Yes us TAs have our own site and it is also temperamental just like the regular site. Last year I was using Chrome and Safari to update all my reservations for my clients and it took many hours. I started right at 4:30am CST when FD Dropped. Ended up getting everyone FD though! It stresses me out

This feels like black Friday. Waiting in line for Disney to open their doors for the huge Free Dining shopping spree...lol
