2015 FREE DINING THREAD _ All Questions HERE!!

[Just Love Disney]

Now I see the offer but it's sold out. Only avail is pirate room.

I am so excited! That was such a painless process!! Free dining is all set for September My email confirmation says quick service as does my SIL, and we are staying at CBR, so we are thinking its a glitch. Either way I'm confirmed!! Woo hoo 134 days!!!

 

[lauraleh]

No luck. I tried going on a different browser and now all the rooms are booked up at CBR for my dates. I am going to have to call when the phone lines open up. Let me know if you have luck.

I did get it to work by changing to my old Windows laptop, Google Chrome browser. It was glitchy with the Chromebook.

I hope something works for you! Good luck!

That was a lot shorter morning than I originally expected! Thanks to the dis we are booked for November! Took only 10 minutes!

I know right? Thais was the most pain free FD Ihave ever dealt with!

 

[Elffriend]

At the top it should say what package you have you can modify offers.

Thank you, that works. However when I get to the final page it says I have a balance of $4000 when I've already paid in full. I'm afraid to hit the confirm button!

 

[elle325]

So when I booked it had park hopper for $0. Is the price of the park hopper just included?

 

[Ahodgson923]

Ughhhh. Polynesian is not available unless Club level. Very sad. I dont think I can change.

The good news is that you will probably make out better with a RO offer at a deluxe when those are released.

DH actually wants to stay at the contemporary when we go back, but there was no way I was paying $7K to book it under free dining and just get the free DDP. If we got the DxDDP, may have to crunch some numbers. But not worth it for us on a deluxe.

 

[The Great Zo]

Switch to a laptop if you are on an iPhone, iPad or in my case, a Chromebook.

Using a laptop unfortunately, and have tried two browsers. Same error message.

 

[izzymommy]

The deals should cover length of stay. Your dates should be covered for the RO discount.

When I look at the price breakdown per day, it's only giving the 25% discount for our first two days, remainder is at rack rate.

 

[Honeybee83]

Anyone know why the week of Oct 17th to 24th is blacked out?

A lot of schools are on fall break so there is no need to offer incentives bc the rooms are filling up without them.

 

[Charsmom]

Yay!!!! I was able to modify my existing reservation online to get free dining. I had to upgrade my standard room to a Royal Guest room at POR, which I was thinking about doing anyway. That plus adding park hopper increased my original reservation price by about $400. But that's still a savings of $300 over buying the plan outright! And we will definitely get our money's worth as we have a character meal booked for every day! And we get to stay in a Royal Guest room! I'm so excited, can't wait for September!!!!!

Success!!
Nov 14-20 @ AKL with FD!!!

[donp]

I remember that happening as well in years past, and they would fix it later.

 

[wdw4rfam]

I know right? Thais was the most pain free FD Ihave ever dealt with!

Same here. I expected to be on the phone all morning. I was so nervous when i heard it was going to GP first because we had never booked GP. Thank you Disney for adding the modify!!

 

[Ahodgson923]

So when I booked it had park hopper for $0. Is the price of the park hopper just included?

Yep. They just included it in your price.

 

[lawboysam]

Thank you, that works. However when I get to the final page it says I have a balance of $4000 when I've already paid in full. I'm afraid to hit the confirm button!

I got worried about that too, but it should be okay, especially if you haven't entered payment info.

 

[gterin1524]

MDE says "MYW package plus free dining: 2015 quick service meals, 2015 table service meals- child, 2015 table service meals- adult"

This is the regular dining right?

Yes that is the regular DDP.

 

[FBandA]

If I already have a reservation with a travel agent/AAA, do they have to add the FD or can I do it now? TA not in till 9. I saw I can still book CBR with standard view.

 

[G719]

Do not use the safari browser on ipad! Use chrome. You'll get an error on the final check out on safari. Thanks to the dis for the tip. I got our cabin with free dining! Package total went up the ticket price change which for me was about $60 since I already had park hoppers.
