******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[babydoll65]

I said doubt I didn't say you could not wl is a less expensive deluxe and since free dining is offered during value season you are getting lower end prices for rooms. Even for two adults fd is a $140 day savings certainly be tough to find a better ro discount it would have to be around 40% at least 35% anyway.

That is how I figured out my trip in September. Staying at the Wilderness lodge, September 9-16 in a standard room with three adults and six day parkhoppers. A 30% discount would save me 93.90 per night so for seven nights a 658$ savings. I purchase parkhoppers regardless so I don't feel I'm losing any money on that but the dining plan saves me 1470$ for the week. I'm only paying 313$ per night plus I already have free dining thanks to the bounce back offer. Plan on booking it again for my trip in September 2018.

Opinions please... If money didn't matter (and I wish that was the case) where would you stay? We are a family of 5 (3 teenage daughters). POR any view (been there twice, loved it), Poly standard view, BC garden view? I'm stuck, can't decide!!!!

We have always stayed at Pop. We loved it so much we have only ever stayed there. My son especially loves it. It is like home away from home to him.

Your son and I have that in common lol. Pop was the first resort I stayed at, and always be my first choice - which is also why FD is really the only discount that saves us any money (or more add better value to what we do spend) since Pop RO discount normally isn't that good.

But you're not including the type of room that might be needed to get FD, the park hopper add-on, the ability to get discounted tickets elsewhere. Even with just a room only and not figuring in all the other, at 25%, the room would need to be $560/night. If it's 30% $466. Neither of those are out of the realm of possibility

Poly standard!
But if money didn't matter, I wouldn't be on this thread!

bummed it looks like still only QS only for mods, was hoping that was the one part that would be a surprise!

 

[LucyBC80]

It's OR.

This is worst than the "We're on a break" F.R.I.E.N.D.S debate.

Hi everyone, first time poster, long time thread stalker. I booked my package a month ago. We're staying at CSR for 6 nights with 3 days of PH+, does anyone know if we are going to need to bump that up to a 4 day ph+? Or is 3 days okay? I have been seeing minimum nights but not minimum ticket days. Thanks!!!

From those choices, Poly definitely! Then again, I'm still saving to stay there. I'll come along with you though.

Poly standard!

thanks everyone! That's my gut feeling too, but keeping 5 people happy can be tricky, but then again...we're at Disney so who's not going to be happy. lol!

I'm worried that I'm not getting an answer to my question.
Any word on the minimum amount of days on a park ticket?

My dream would be to stay at AKL someday, Savannah view of course!

Nope. Seems like that's going to be one of the things we don't know until Monday.
