So apparently server is busy for special offers...

Could be midnight. Could be 3am or 7am. No one knows
Ok I will stay up all night...not kidding...ok maybe I am! Thanks!
Your check in date has to be int the dates so u wouldnt get it unless u do a split stay
What is a split stay?
Having two separate hotels reservations for the same vacation. It could be two different hotels, or two reservations at the same hotel, for example if you wanted to arrive at Disney a day before free dining started, making you inelegible for free dining, you could book a one-night room only reservation for the first night and then book the rest of your stay with free dining starting the day after your arrival (when free dining starts).
Definitely lost!!! Why am I not getting it?
My original question was that If my check out date is Dec 13th... And it seems first day of free dining is the 12th...i suppose i would not get the FD?
someone answered "not unless I did a split stay"????
I'm just grasping for hope!
wdwmaw said:You would not need a split stay. You would need to check in on the 12th to get FD for your stay. Is there any way you could check in on the 12th, even if it is really late in the day?
Free dining is offered for check in dates Dec 12-23. As long as you check in during this time period you get free dining for your whole trip. Ex: you have a trip Dec 21- Jan 2....you get FD your whole trip. Another ex: you have trip Dec 11 - DEC 20. You would not get FD. The only date that matters is arrival date. I believe the PP arriving in Dec 13 would be eligible for FD.
wdwmaw said:oops sorry, misread it, just assumed it ended on the 12th since someone offered her to do a split stay. Great catch
I figured it was a misread and I def don't like to correct folks but didn't want the other poster thinking she needed to arrive on the 12th either. I can't believe they extended it so far out in Dec. I get the week b/t Christmas and New Years off work....I could be easily swayed into another trip at Christmas time. If only I lived closer!
How far are you from Disney? We have done FD several years checking in the last day available and staying 14 nights through New Years. We love this time of year and my DH says it is his favorite time to go. As the kids have gotten older and with DS in college this became the only time we could travel.

I'll book in a week or two when I figure out exactly what we want. Just like every other year I will get exactly what we want. The panic created on DIS is hilarious, really no need to get up in the middle of the night to book a room. Next month at this time there will still be tons available.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all but with POR out of the FD promotion, that leaves a LOT (I think) of families trying to get rooms elsewhere. Sure it has always worked and I'm sure it will work for you just fine this year but this year is definitely different because of the lack of rooms.

I guess I should qualify my statement by stating that we always go Mid-December. If we were going Sept/Oct I might be more concerned. We ended up booking online Wednesday night in a Business Class room at CSR. Checking today the BC rooms are now full for our dates, but every other room category is available. I will admit that this year does "feel" different with regards to needing to book earlier than normal. Having said that, for our dates in Dec you can still book just about every resort that was offered.
