******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[sharonabe]

This Savory summer offer confuses me. So I've heard $30 to upgrade to reg QS. And I just read back in March on this thread it said $40 day for adult to upgrade to reg QS.

The QS plan is $48 a day. WhYbwould it be $40 to get 1 more QS and snacks. I don't even have this, not going in summer, but so curious.

The $40/night is the adult upgrade price from the Savory summer deal to the regular DDP, not QSDP. HOWEVER, I believe that was before dining plan prices went up. Someone had booked the deal in its early weeks and then upgraded to the DDP, so they had the exact cost. There were only two adults, so we were able to do the math for the adult cost easily. Once you add in a child, there's just no way to do it for everyone.

I was just able to get a standard room at CBR at the end of August for the summer offer!! Had been previously booked with the gc's but unable to apply any offer until now. It's not FD but it's something

Did you call in and get the deal and verify you still get the GCs or did you do it online? If online, did you modify and was there something still guaranteeing the GCs? Or did you decide to forego the GCs for the deal?

So some of you were talking awhile back about splitting up a qs into 3 snack credits, correct me if I'm wrong. What I was wondering is if anyone has ever converted 3 snack credits into a qs? We always have extra snack credits even before it got changed to 2 a night.

You cannot go into a QS restaurant and say, "I have 3 snack credits, will you give me a meal and a drink." It won't work that way, but as a PP said, there are some places where you can get 3 snacks that would make up a meal. Yak n Yeti in AK comes to mind: fried rice and 2 egg rolls.

What It should say is 2016 UK 2015 USA . Then 2017 UK 2016 USA. Now the UK gets free dining for 2018 Thursday April 6th. That would theoretically mean we would get a release date Monday the 10th.

Please please PLEASE LORD let this be...

I could not get the full viajeromagico post to translate did it mention November?

I have never heard of trading UP from SC to CS. But you could easily use 3 snack credits to create a meal at many QS locations

Yep. Les Halles Boulangerie would be my favorite!!

I couldn't get any of it translate but was in my phone. Haven't heard any Nov-Dec info from that blog.

Thank you so much for clarifying this. Thought my mind was going to explode.

I copied this:
For October, November and the first three weeks of December the answer is also that I think there will be a free plan but with several periods of black dates and many hidden surprises regarding unavailable dates "de facto" from the beginning.

Answering question 1: I think YES will be a free meal plan for September .

Also for October, November and December (with the clarifications of the previous paragraph).

Yes, it did mention both December & November. Someone posted someone's comment from "a few posts down" that named all weeks. If memory serves correctly it was listed as something like 1, 2 and 3rd weeks of November.

Did it say any think about November 25- December 2? I don't know why the full article wouldn't translate for me. I have also been stalking air Canada's site all day. I need some dates!

Ok, so we are looking at Monday, 4/10 at roughly 4a EST (1a PST for me!) if we follow the 4 day after UK theory?!?

I feel safer waiting to hear something from @black562 or TheDirtySteve before I get too excited...

 

[mamamelody2]

Very curious about the "free breakfast" that comes with a value stay in the UK offer. Is it just an entree and drink that you have to buy before 11:30 AM or something?

 

[JadeDarkstar]

Thanks....I did use my credit card to pay. I just don't want to wait for the email. By that time, things could be gone.

Do you happen to know if the debit card holders get release deals earlier too?
and where do you look for the Disney emails as a debit or credit card holder?

 

[DisneyNic]

It's been my hunch all along that it will be the 10th. If I'm right, I'll be sure to help you all with next years superbowl predictions.

All those in favor of FD being released on April 10 raise your hand!!!



Holy smokes that's a lot of hands!!!!!

We are on Spring Break next week so the 10th would be FANTABULOUS!!!!!

I feel safer waiting to hear something from @black562 or TheDirtySteve before I get too excited...

I won't get myself too excited until we hear from them either, but I will just keep hoping that we hear from them soon!!

The post that was C&P to this thread listed each week with the month as "1st week of November" "3rd week of November" etc. With no numbers attached. Based on the way it was written (and my memory of the post!!) I do not believe it was including Nov 25+.

Do you have the link for this?

 

[JadeDarkstar]

im betting its nov 28-30th that week I think they don't normally give that Monday(after thanksgiving) as a date and I've
never seen opened on thanksgiving.

 

[FinnsMom7]

All this 10th talk is exciting and nerve wracking luckily next two weeks I can go into work late on Monday if I had to - I will just keep OCDP out of the reasoning - keep hoping for a black or Steve post

I am going through a TA but have been reassured several times that changing this reservation will not cancel out the gc's!!
