2019 Free Dining Watch(Christmas 2019)

[Robbfamily8]

We didn't get Free Dining but we did get a 25% Room Only Ticketless Package with the Dining Plan. This worked out well for us because one of us is going to have an AP and 7 will be able to get Undercover Tourist tickets with the Mousesavers rate.

How did you get that?

I booked the FD BB offer for December 14, 2019, and I find it interesting that it is $200 cheaper in September for the same resort/room category/number of nights, ticket length etc and checking in same day of the week with the offer released today.

We talked to the Cast Member about how disappointed we were not to get Free Dining and she offered the deal we got instead.

A Sun and Fun room only offer dropped at the same time as free dining. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/sun-fun-room/

Yeah, but the OP they were replying to is going in DECEMBER. There are no discounts out for December yet.

Sept is VALUE season. That would probably be the same with or without discounts.

Oops, I didn't go all the way back to the quote in the post I quoted's quoted post.

We are going to CBR December 12-18. What is the likelihood FD will be offered during this time? Should I be hopeful considering FD bounce back was offered December 2019?

 

[JGlass77]

we will also be at CBR those dates and was told not to expect free dining for that time

 

[AimeeDG]

Darn!! Did someone relatable give you that information?

 

[JGlass77]

someone I trust told me but did also say the room discounts should still be granted

 

[AimeeDG]

Thanks

We are booked Nov 30-Dec 8 at Pop. Hoping for Free Dining, but it won't spoil the trip if not! I'm expecting no, since Star Wars is opening, but you never know!

Where did you find the 25% off room rate? We usually book through Small World Vacations and haven't been notified of a room discount.

Thanks for the information,

It was a Bounceback offer. They were offering "Free Dining" when we visited in October, but they didn't have anything available at Riverside (which is our favorite resort and the resort at which we were staying). When we called about the Bounceback, they had a new Bounceback offer for 25% off Moderate and they offered it to us with the Dining Package added to take the place of the Free Dining. I don't know the complete details as my wife was doing a "Girls' Only" weekend to go to MNSSHP and she was on the phone with the Cast Member for a while.

Following, we are booked for December and have our fingers crossed some Disney Magic will sprinkle our way and we will be able to score FD. If not, still very much looking forward to Disney at Christmas!

Same here!!!!

Depending on when Star Wars opens and when they announce the official opening date, I believe it’s going to be a numbers game. If Disney can’t fill rooms they could possibly open up more offers, but they might be more limited. It’s almost like they did phase 1 of announcing promo for free dining Jan 2 to ensure they get heads in beds for August and September. As we get closer to summer and depending on the status of construction (which can always change), it will determine the official opening date. It should be very interesting how this all unfolds.

 

[Gamblers]

We are planning for Dec 6-14. Crossing our fingers for free dining. If they don’t we are still going!!!!!

With GE opening in August I think any free dining offers will be off the table
