[Disneymommy2006]

This thread led me to sign up. My wife and I have been waiting for a couple months for when FD is released. It'll be the first trip for our 4 y/o, my first Disney trip since 2001 and first time staying at the resort. I'm so ready to book...I hope that POR is available for longer than the rumored dates, because it looks awesome.

I noticed the 1st segment dates are Aug 15-Oct. 2...From what i understand as long you check in between those dates, free dining can be used entire stay..so does that mean i can check in on Oct 2, and stay for 10 nights and still get free dining? (Oct 2 - Oct 12) Can someone confirmed this for me? That is much closer to my wedding anniversary dates!

I have a ressie for

11/20-11/30 CR garden wing standard view

they do not have the same room type left for the 19th. I would have to move to the more expensive garden view. Which is actually a great deal more at over $1200.

pass the cheese for my whine

Yes, as long as your check in date is covered, you are eligible for FD for up to 14 nights.

Ok so let me just say, reading through this today, has made me so excited and I am not sure how I am going to make it until it is released lol!

But as of right now we are 9/8-9/13 CBR (first time there) But to be honest if the rumors hold true and POR is included I may switch over. That is my FAVORITE resort!!!

Not to burst any bubbles, but I think the late August rumor makes more sense then this mid August rumor.

I just got my new Disney Visa in the mail today! Hoping for the release to be tomorrow! Thanks for all the useful info on this thread.

I was just talking to my friend who translated the Spanish blog for me. She said that it said that the determining factor for the promotion is the date of check-in but then said that it stated that there might be a few exceptions for nights after Dec. 21 right after that clause. Is it possible that they could block free dining for nights after we check-in like Christmas Day? That doesn't seem to fit with past precedence. I hope that's not the case!

GREAT!!!!!! THX!

I am pretty sure it was released same day last year. We stayed at GF and RO was better for us, 2 adults and 2 kids.

I just confirmed this on the mousesavers site...RO did come out same day as FD for disney visa and then later for GP (same day as FD).

Can people take the "roll call" posts to a different thread, please? I know we're all excited but they're not contributing anything useful to the FD discussion and it's just inflating the page count like crazy and making it harder to find useful info.

I agree with this request.

Does anyone know if there is usually free dining offered in January? I know it wouldn't be with this batch of deals but just curious if they do offer it in January (including a pin code/UOC).

 

[patclairesmom]

I really hope the 1st set of dates are correct. Usually FD is later in Aug. I'm going Aug 17-26 and would love free dining!!

My DH is dying to stay at POR, but we're currently booked at CBR (I'm dying to stay there). If POR is included, we may switch. Good luck!!

Does anyone else think the December dates seem off?

That will mean loads of people will get free dining over Christmas and many over New Years. These are dates they have no problem booking. Looking at historical data the just seem off. I was thinking it would start around the 12th or so.

There is an update from the viajeromagico.com site. Here is the google translation:


April 23, 2014.-

There will be free meals in September, October, November and December 2015 at Walt Disney World Resort.

Earlier today the Twitter account of viajeromagico.com anticipated the expected news (see photo)

There's no official word but travel agents have received the codes to promote free meals during September, October, November and December 2015.

To receive this offer check-in must fall within the following dates:

From August 15 to October 2

From October 25 to October 31

From November 8th to November 19th

From December 15 to December 21.

Entering (first day) to the hotel in one of these four periods get free meals for the entire stay.

Value Hotels Disney Dining Plan Quick receive and Moderate and Deluxe hotels are regularly Disney Dining Plan.



Hotels excluded:

The most notable exclusions hotels are the All Star Movies and standard rooms Little Mermaid in the Art of Animation and Port Orleans French Quarter.

In the case of Port Orlearns Riverside, is included only during the period from August 15 to October 2, being excluded for the rest of the dates of October, November and December.



Rules:

What is important to determine if the promotion applies to a stay shall be the date of check in. Stay must begin within any of the consigned periods and then get meals for all contracted nights.

It is possible that the above rule exception to suffer after the December 21 nights.

The promotion may be contracted between April 27 and August 7 in travel agencies.

It is compulsory to take at least two days for tickets with hotel nights. Stays must be a minimum of 3 nights and a maximum of 14 nights.



We reiterate that these data apply in principle to travel agencies.

However it is very likely that the promotion is announced by identical or similar for direct contracts with Disney via official website.

If there were any differences between direct Disney and travel agency, chances are older posibildad fewer days for the second half of August and hiring more restricted dates. Next week these little questions will be cleared.

So can anyone offer any insight into the part under "Rules" section when it says "It is possible that the above rule exception to suffer after the December 21 nights"? Could this mean that in December you can't just check in on the 21st (for example) and receive FD for the duration of your stay, that you could only receive it through December 21st? Has this ever been done before? I assume this is to keep people from receiving FD over Christmas, I just hadn't seen anyone mention anything like this before! We would like to go in December for about 4 - 5 nights sometime between Dec 12 and 23, I don't want to commit to any dates until I know some certainties about FD. But if this exception exists, looks like we will have to travel between December 15 and 21. Wow.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already, I still have a lot of posts to get through, lol.

Last year the Dec dates were 12-23, so they just shrunk the window at both ends.
