Free Dining 2014 Discussion ~ Part 2

[Just Love Disney]

What, in your opinion, is the likelihood that all the resorts with FD will sell out tomorrow? Specifically the moderate.

I know it would be pure speculation, but I'm curious if my chances are really good for getting FD or not so good at all.

BTW, I'm looking at October 26th.

I don't know but I have been unable to check rates or make dining reservations. I have been trying since yesterday.

Same here . . .

I really think u will be fine. My friends book a value last year 3 weeks after FDing came out and got what they wanted.

Just keep saying agent through all the prompts. It seems faster then giving your info.

The panic created on DIS about phoning the first morning at 7 am is ridiculous and unfounded. Next month at this time there will be plenty of rooms left at both CSR and CBR.

Well hopefully something in the Moderate category will be left as we REALLY don't want a Value and not sure we have the funds for a Deluxe.....fingers crossed

I am sure this has been asked and answered, but is there no way to book free dining online tomorrow?

Also, I am a Disney Visa cardholder so I prefer to call today so I don't get held up on hold tomorrow. However, I recently made a large purchase with the card and only have about $150 of available credit until the end of the week. I am assuming at least the full deposit on the Disney Visa card is required to book it? Is there a way they confirm you are in fact using the Disney Visa card if you are providing the booking code for cardholders?

Thanks!

U can book online and yes they make sure u use a disney visa. If u have a ressie already u would have to call. Not sure what time it will be available online though. Could be midnight or 3am or 6am

I would have freaked out if I got hung up on! Where are you staying in October? Looks like we will be there the same time

CBR preferred. It was CSR but i thought with conventions going on and the ages of my girls that CBR would be better can not wait!

It would be less expensive to pay out of pocket for the extra table service meals because to get free dinning requires two days of tickets. So in this case you would have to have two separate reservations with two different sets of tickets. That would cost quite a bit more than paying for three table service meals out of pocket. I would price out the cost of your OOP meals with the cost to upgrade your whole trip to regular dinning. If you would be paying more to pay OOP than to upgrade, then it would make sense to upgrade the entire stay to regular dinning, but then you would have to add in a couple more table reservations.

I don't want to do all table service, can you use a TS credit at a QS place?? The upgrade costs aren't that much.
