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

[Attracted to Beasts]

So what is the verdict with the beverage that comes with QS? Can I swap it out for anything? We don't do soda.

Yes I always get a bottle of water

NO! No sharing credits! The server will verify your identity using fingerprint verification and a cheek swab DNA analysis to verify your true identity.

(Kidding!)

Yes you can do that. And it's a very savvy way to customize Dining credits to fit your needs when booking two rooms. Credits are charged using your Magic Band along with the 4 digit PIN you will set up. So just make sure you have the proper MB and PIN# that coincides with the meal plan you want to charge it to when the server comes to scan at the end of your meal.

How many nights are you staying there?
-Deluxe plan includes 3 Table service and 2 snacks per night.
-Quick service plan includes 2 Quick (a.k.a. Counter) service and 2 snacks per night.
You mentioned you would get an additional 8TS and 8snacks using this strategy and I couldn't figure out exactly how many nights. It seems you may be getting more TS than you think.

If they are staying 8 nights then their math works out. If everyone was on DDP they would have 40 TS and 40 QS for around $840. With 2 on DxDP and 3 on QSDP for 8 nights, they get 48 QS and 48 TS for around $840. I'm not sure where the $70 difference comes in, unless that's the additional cost of having a third adult in one room?

Folks must be busy making changes, etc. on the Disney website in preparation of FD. this is a message I got this morning, it's the first time I've seen this one:

I hope the system doesn't crash Monday morning.

Good morning everyone. I was off since 6:30 last night and just reading through what was posted I just want to clarify some things.

Here is what I've been told:

Offer will drop on Monday 4/24.

Disney Visa holders will not be able to book before the GP.

Values and Mods will get QSDP.

I read someone posted last night that I said POR was included in FD. That's wrong!!! POR is included in Aug and Sept for FD, but is EXCLUDED for Nov and Dec.

I also read that I dropped the "bombshell" that PH's wouldn't be required. WRONG!!! I said I was told that "tickets" were required for the FD package. When I asked did that mean PH or PH+'s I was told they were told "tickets" were required. I took that as could there be a possibility that maybe base tickets get it done? I asked everyone to keep your mindset that you'll need PH or PH+'s to get FD. Once again this is my interpretation.

I am trying to find out the starting dates for Aug & Dec. And I also am trying to get more info on the ticket requirements.

I also know that ASMo is excluded along with the Little Mermaid rooms at AofA for the entire FD offer.

I have to work today from 7:30AM EST to about 1:00 this afternoon so if I hear anything new I will let you all know.

Have a magical day!!!

Thanks @Disney Ron !

Crazy! Everything for WL is available for my dates this morning. For months nothing has been available! You can even get a standard room discount...first time that's been there. I wonder if they're trying to get people to book that today and hope they don't come back and try to switch for FD!

Appreciate the info. Just wondering, I noticed your tag line is, "It not a lie, if you believe it". Is that something we should keep in mind as we read your posts?

If they are staying 8 nights then their math works out. If everyone was on DDP they would have 40 TS and 40 QS for around $840. With 2 on DxDP and 3 on QSDP for 8 nights, they get 48 QS and 48 TS for around $840. I'm not sure where the $70 difference comes in, unless that's the additional cost of having a third adult in one room?

Oh I see. I didn't know they were comparing DDP for everyone vs. QSx3 and DXDDPx2. I thought it was all 5 people on QS plan vs. splitting QS/DXDDP. Thanks. Still on my first cup of coffee. A few more cups and I would have figured it out LOL!

I'm a big Seinfeld fan and this quote was made by George Costanza in an episode that I thought was very funny. Believe me I'm not here trying to fool everyone. I'm booking FD myself and will be on here midnight Sunday night.

Fellow Seinfeld fan here. Do you like Curb Your Enthusiasm? I heard they were bringing it back for an additional season but haven't heard when.

Wat episode? I love seinfeld and can't think of the episode but I can remember him saying it.

I've never seen it but hope to start watching it soon.

We're hoping to get FD in December for Festivus.

Can't remember the episode, but found the line funny, because I know someone who's told people the same lie for years and now actually believes what he says really happened.

I posted this as well, never saw this one before. How did you get your image to come out so small, mine was obnoxiously large??

 

[anitsa123]

You can swap for a bottle water everywhere or another snack credit at some places.

I dont drink soda either so they do have tea or bottle water. I always get unsweet tea.

Disney is going to start putting online bookings in a cue like they do when you call to book. I knew this was coming but didn't think it was happening yet. Not a good sign for Monday morning.

... And now I'm getting $935.84 upgrade cost for 2 on DxDP. I know I used an incorrect upgrade cost before and may be now too. It's $59.49 from QS to DxDP right?

I was told that one of the major Argentina's Disney TA (called All Seasons) will publish a newspaper ad tomorrow offering the FD for Disney.

Their web page is being modified right now (http://www.allseasons.tur.ar/tarifarios/disney_index.php) and I get some errors entering it, but I could snatch this picture.



As it is a picture it cannot be automatically translated from Spanish, so I will do it for you:

Free Dining
Book before August 31st
08/13 to 09/30
11/14 to 11/20
11/25 to 11/27
12/08 to 12/23

Minimum 5 nights, max 14 nights requires PH or PH Plus

(The 5 nights probably is the min requirement for this TA from Argentina, for US probably will be 4 (IMHO))

In the webpage I found part of the fine print, but it is chopped, so probably they are working on it. It barely says that the LM rooms at AoA are not included

They don't say what type of plan they are offering

I hope tomorrow I can get the newspaper with the complete offer.
