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

[ziravan]

I went through my emails and found a free dining pin!!!

....good for Spring, 2013.

It is so odd that there haven't been any reports of PINS received for the fall. I think that is one of the reasons why I am being skeptical at this point. If one round have PINS had gone out and this rumor slipped out, totally believable. I guess they could change their marketing approach and it may be different this time around. It's just odd!!!!

I think UOCs went out the same day as the release last year.

I checked prices for our family of 5 and a mod room would be cheaper than 2 value rooms or a family suite. In some cases not by much, so I guess it depends on what dining plan you'd want to go for. With table services there's the extra cost for gratuities and we tend to share quick service meals. We didn't take my son last year, so we didn't have issues that we will have to deal with in the future. Can't even go on a cruise this year because of the added cost for taking him. Not to mention Disney is probably the only cruise that accommodates 5 people.

How does the free dining discount work if it ends during your stay, is the entire stay still covered?

As long as your check in day is on an available date, you'll get it for your entire stay.

When I was looking at 5 people instead of 4, it seemed a lot cheaper to just do the mod over a family suite at AoA or ASMu.

Do the eligible dates for RO discount exactly match the dates for FD?

Ok so this is a rumor, but I'm member of a fb group and the group's owner is a Disney Travel Agent. She said the All Stars are not included. Guess Pop will be sold out by the time the offer goes out to general public if this is true.

She also said all moderates, deluxe and villas are included.

You need the card in hand because they need the card number. But yours SHOULD show up before 4/27.

Ok, thanks. Hopefully mine shows up before then. If nothing else, maybe they could give me my card number. Thanks!

That doesn't sound believable at all, honestly.

Thank you. I don't believe her either. But, I went into panic mode anyway.

I do not believe that for one second. All star movies is likely not included, and it would be shocking if POFQ were included. Disney won't leak anything to their own agents, so there's no way she knows that much. Lol

Something is either up with Disney's site or I am missing something. According to the search I just did, every resort in every category is booked for 11/15-11/21, that cannot be right.

 

[lizzi6692]

It was in fact an error, now there's a message on the page that says, "Booking is currently unavailable. We’re working to restore availability as soon as possible. Please check back later." Well that makes me feel a lot better.

 

[ziravan]

Were you able to try and use the free dining pin from 2013 now?!?

No. It was for dates in the Spring of 2013. I didn't try, though. Maybe I should...

Must be your computer/browser. I just checked those dates and everything is available.

CM says system is down for updates and will prob be down for another hour or so...

A CM told me yesterday that they thought the pins would be released at about the same time as the promo. As you know, take all things they say with a grain of salt, but here's to hoping.

For awhile I was stressed out about this whole thing, we have always stay at the campground so discounts just aren't available. Anyhow I was stressed out about free dining and all that but I am glad I booked my room at rack rate, I am glad I have a trip booked for the dates I want and I am just going to assume we won't get free dining and be pleasantly surprised if we do. Sure I'll call in and try to get it on my room but if not I'm not going to stress.

OK I just had to put that out into the universe for my own sanity. I'll just be happy when the details come out so the speculation can end.
