Free Dining Fall 2015? (and a whole lot more)

[scrappinginontario]

For FD offers, as long as the night you check in is included in the FD offer, you have FD for the entire length of your stay. RO discounts work differently.

Sigh...check-in for me is Oct. 16th so if these are the dates, I'm out of luck. Hoping for a room discount now!

Does that put Jersey week out? I would not think Jersey week would be included. I think this is a great, solid rumor!!

Jersey week this year looks to be November 2-6...

 

[scrappinginontario]

I'm just hoping that there's no 6 night min stay requirement. We are only going for 5 nights the end of Sept. Fingers crossed!

I have never heard of a 6 night minimum stay requirement.

Just a thought - If August heat is too much, push back into later September. We were there starting September 20th last year for 10 nights and it was still melt-your-face-off hot most days. The evenings were cooler though.

My friends went that week last year and said that it rained way to much. What did you think?

I'm sorry I'm new to all of this. Are these dates for free dining or blackout dates? If blackout dates we won't qualify as we are the Nov. 1-8

Yep but if people are booking Sat-Sat, I'd be surprised if 10/31 is an allowed check in date

Just a side note on convention rooms....that's what I received booking through an agency....a convention rate. It is right on my tickets. I did get a very good deal, better than free dining...but we are only two people so that's why it is a better deal for us. But....I'm cheering with your guys! I love the excitement in here! Boo-yah!

Ya convention rate would be a good rate. FD only really makes a big deal if we are staying lower end moderate....if we bump high end moderate or go deluxe for two people then RO is a better option for us.

We had fortunately just booked our flights last week. Ours jumped up this week too.

Our flights went up too and there is pretty much an empty plane. Not getting this and from history that means it will go down again. Playing the waiting game I guess.

FROM THE UK OFFER: "This offer is available for selected arrivals 1st January – 15th March
2016 and 3rd April – 30th November 2016". The link was already posted here but I will post again just for easy reference.

WOW, that's quite the window of opportunity for their deal!

Ya but I can't imagine how much it costs them to come over here for vacation and they do at least 2 weeks and some a whole month, so it's a different ball game and Disney has to make it attractive for them.

I panicked reading some of the posts with dates/Black out rumor and then realized that our check in date is not blacked out so if I go with FD I'll be ok. Just wish I wasn't playing the rate game wait with the airfare. But I'm feeling the need to be sure about Disney first anyway. We wiggle with a couple days on both ends.

I hit the pillow and zonked last night. So those that heard my yawns were definitely connected with me.
I did have a night mare but not about Disney....it was work related "screw up". Glad it was just a dream.

Those dates above, written in English...
Aug 15-Oct 2
Oct 25-31
Nov 8-19
Dec 15-21
Booking on 4/27

This is a good, solid rumor. Don't make any irreversible plans until the offer is officially released, and don't get your hopes up because until they release it, it isn't set in stone. There are several days between now and 4/27. Anything can change.

ETA: the post directly above mine is obviously in English. It wasn't there when I started my post. Lol!!!

Wow, if this is true I'm VERY suprised they included so much of August this year!

From what i am reading here...are the dates going to be released on Monday, the 27th, or am i reading it wrong?

 

[Camaro305]

The dates are purely speculation as of now... But if they are true, they would be the date range to check in for FD.

You're reading it right, but it's speculation as of now.

 

[Aubrav]

Ughhh, December 15th? We arrive the 12th. December 15th is a Tuesday... Oh well, going regardless.

Do you have enough days beginning the 15th too do a split stay? Book the first 3 nights without dining and then the remainder of you're stay separately with free dining?

 

[aaarcher86]

What if your trip overlaps dates. For example September 26th -Oct. 2nd.

If your check in date is included your whole stay qualifies.

 

[Aubrav]

What if your trip overlaps dates. For example September 26th -Oct. 2nd.

That isn't an overlap, all if those dates are included in the speculated dates so they are all eligible for free dining. As long as your check in day is one of the available dates you can get the free dining plan.

Thanks!! It my 25th wedding anniversary this Fall and my hubby and I need this vacation!! LOL!!

We're arriving on December 12th also. We're going regardless, but I'll be bummed if we miss free dining.

Could you do a split stay to at least take advantage of FD the last part of your trip?

My friends went that week last year and said that it rained way to much. What did you think?

Yes, it rained each day but it's hurricane season in FL so that's to be expected. Each day at some point the heavens would open and it would pour and then the sun would come back out. I think I only remember 1 or 2 days where it rained on and off throughout the day. Rain is just part of FL in September.

Wow, if this is true I'm VERY suprised they included so much of August this year!

I'm with you. I would love to believe these dates but the skeptic in me will need to see it to believe it. Especially since FD last year didn't start until the very end of August. Disney seems to be moving the dates closer and closer to September the past few years so while starting mid-August would be great, I'll believe it when I see it!

Can anybody provide a translation of viajeromagico's post? Just wondering if there's more information on the included and excluded resorts on his site.

We were also there. Soooooo much rain, but it believe it was a record breaker. Probably not the norm.
