2015 FREE DINING THREAD _ All Questions HERE!!

[MrsSkellington]

If I go online to MDE and there is nothing available for my dates and resort, should I even bother calling? I already have a package booked at WL, but I would have to upgrade my room by $300+.

Boy am I glad I woke up to check the boards.

8 Day, 7 Night Pop Century Room for the girlfriend and I, five-day park tickets, park hopper, Disney Christmas Party on the 17th, memory maker, and upgraded to the standard dining plan. Woo!

WOOHOOOOOO

It went through! Had to switch from woods view to courtyard view at the Wilderness Lodge, but we are saving $1900 on one room and 1950 on the other...with 8 of us going for 10 days, that's just a huge savings!!!

Wow, glad I got in when I did. Successfully booked two rooms (with three adults each) for All-Star Sports with Free Dining (upgrade to standard) from 09/30 to 10/07. That's now the only value resort showing any availability at all, and between all of the moderates, only the CBR pirate rooms are available.

I do have the mythical "modify" button! Is there any hope at all to check for other resorts, or is that a waste of time, especially with two rooms to switch?

 

[petrymom]

Bummer! Does anyone think they have more rooms if calling in rather than online?

I am trying it now......

 

[Just Love Disney]

How can there already be a hold time.....

 

[meggers628]

WE GOT FREE DINING!!!!! I was able to use my modify button. Thank you SO MUCH to this board and those who said the modify button was not coming up in Chrome. I was able to use IE and get it. I am SHAKING I am so excited, thrilled, about to cry, all at the same time

Hmmm. I used the modify button on chrome. The modify button is such a mystery!

 

[LollieInwonderland]

great the phone lines are all messed up

 

[Plutopia]

No problems with the modifications. In fact, I was quite surprised that the site had not crashed yet! We weren't eligible for FD since our dates are before the offer begins but we did manage to qualify for the 30% off! Very happy evn if we had to change resorts. Good luck to everyone!

 

[wdw4rfam]

I was able to get a standard room at CBR but my dates are in November.

Same here, got 2 rooms at CSR for thanksgiving both standard rooms. I thought there was no way I would get it, but it's still showing them now

 

[Under the Library]

We did FD last year at pop and upgraded to DDP from QS. I freaked about the email confirmation, but MDE was correct and we had absolutely no issues while on vacation with our dining plan. Hopefully that makes you breathe easier.

Thank you, I just texted her your info. You guys rock.

 

[Just Love Disney]

I am trying it now......

Let me know what u find out. I will do the same.

 

[Grumpyhaus]

We broke the phone lines

Yes, I would still call! Maybe they have a PIN or another offer listed on your account. They may be able to find something for you one way or another!

Nothing at mods or Wilderness Lodge during our week (Nov 14-21st). Bummer. Moving up to another deluxe is too much. We'll just stick with POR and hope for a UOC or good room discount.

 

[gem21]

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on the week of 9-19 to 9-26 that there are no rooms in the MODS????

I'm going the next week and same thing! Only thing available were the Pirate Rooms at CBR and Royal Rooms at POR. CSR had nothing!

 

[5kidsmommy]

Anyone know the cancellation policy? I couldn't modify so I booked a new reservation but I can't cancel the other one online. Hoping I won't have an issue. I am not calling today though, don't want to be on hold for several hours.

 

[lahobbs4]

Only Cars suite at Art of Animation for the week before Thanksgiving. We will stick with our Nemo suite and no free dining OR room only discount, I guess!
