2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[aaarcher86]

I'm still confused why they emailed this to us today at the same time as the general public is released. What is the benefit of having a Disney Visa anymore if we can't book earlier than the public?

DV members have a week of exclusivity. At least that's something.

This happened last year. Looks like you get an extra week in August though. That's a plus.

Anyone know what time the call center closes tonight? I looked on the site but couldn't find it.

Here's the codes for the visa offer for those that didn't get the email. I played with some dates and inventory does seem to be different.

I called this number, (407)939-4357 and had a 2 minute wait. Spoke with Owen and he was super nice! Good luck everyone!!

Just a shout out to all of you fellow Disney fanatics - Thank you for all the posts! I have been quietly reading almost everything and this morning I scored free dining without having to change my room choice! It took less than 5 minutes to change my reservation online!!! Woo hoo!!! Now I just need to hope that 127 days goes by really fast!

Countdown is at 128 here!! Hate wishing the summer away though....

OMG! I finally got to speak to someone, and the call dropped as soon as she said hello. How is this my life???

Right, and the inventory does seem to be different from what I saw. So might be an advantage?

Very true

I got the Disney Visa email, clicked the link, and it took me to the Disney website. It then gave me FD offer & a separate Disney Visa offer, and there was different inventory for each (example: FD regular offer: no Coronado Springs available; Disney Visa offer: lots of CS available, including standard). HURRY!!!

I havn't gotten the link yet

I know it's not funny yet, but this really did crack me up.

I wonder the same things sometimes,

True, they get a week in August. But there is also the longer-stay requirement of five nights.

Here's the codes for the visa offer for those that didn't get the email. I played with some dates and inventory does seem to be different.

I have the same codes in my email, so they don't appear to be unique or tied to particular card holders. Those still waiting fr the DV email can probably use these codes.

So there is a longer stay, maybe that's the difference and why it says stay/play/dine or whatever. Has anyone actually tried to book shorter stay and see what happened?

They're all over. Ours was very far away from the main building.

What type of coffee pots does the resort have? I called the resort and the CM stated that they provide the coffee and the filters but when I inquired about the type of pot, she said it was a single serve, k-cup? Do you know? We usually bring our own coffee and would need to order the correct style-last time we stayed there it was a 4 cup coffee pot.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone else think this has went a bit wonky? It seems when they don't do the Visa early, it just muddys up the water. I can see many folks being very confused with all the different emails, dates, and information flying from Disney in the past few hours. It's nearly overwhelming for even us vets.

It's not a keurig. I honk it was one of those pod pad pot things. But it was a pot, not single serve.
