2016 Free Dining Watch ~ Part 2

[Lindsay Parker]

Normally stay at moderates but with the kids being so little I thought they would get a kick out of POP... 9-10 to 9/16 pop standard saved about $700!!!!

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!

Most of the mods have the pouch style single cup makers in the rooms. Definitely not k-cup style.

This was on the POR info site

• Cuisinart dual-cup ‘pod’ coffee machines, with complimentary coffee pods supplied (these have now replaced the old 4-cup/basket filter machines in all Port Orleans rooms). The pods contain Joffrey's French Roast coffee, both regular and decaf, with more available upon request.

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.

VERY wonky and confusing. I just don't understand why they have to be so secretive and weird!!! Just announce the offer and pull an Elsa and LET IT GO!

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

I am at 130. I will NOT wish the summer away this year! Oh, who am I kidding...bring on MNSSHP!

 

[utlegaleagle]

OK, so in a very rare move, I'm not looking for FD this year. But I am looking for RO from October 11-15. Was anything released today that I could use or am I waiting until July for a RO offer like I had planned?

I was trying 3 numbers-and it took me an hour and a half to get through to hold music.

I have been trying for 2 hours and all I keep getting is a busy signal. Been trying 4 different numbers

I always go from having 3 months to go, to leaving the next days no not being packed

FYI - there appears to be different availability for VISA offer and PUBLIC offer. I haven't read every single comment here so not sure if that was pointed out. For dates around Thanksgiving I can see POP under the Visa offer in standard or preferred pool view and NO availability under the Public offer. Just one small data point.

 

[vicarrieous]

I just did dates of 12/11-12/17 and I got a standard package for 3100 and through visa I got a preferred for 2900. I have to have messed something up!

Hmmm. I wonder if there is different availability between Americans and Canadians.

It would appear that the room only discount is available on Club level rooms only. I can't even get it to pull up for the values.

Wonky is a perfect word to describe this....

So - I fell asleep. And now there is no availability where we were hoping to stay, of course. I just don't know if I should book it anyway, in something we didn't really want that is going to cost a thousand dollars more, or wait and see if the resort we would like becomes available later on.

I think I'll just be waiting. Seems silly to book something that we probably wouldn't even use in the long run. But then all of last night that I did manage to stay up is like it was for nothing. So unsure!

Keep checking the website or try calling once a week to see if you have a pin for FD.

Any idea why some Disney Visa cardholders aren't being sent this deal? I appreciate the links from everyone, but I don't know if I should be calling my credit card to try to make sure I get the deals sent in the future.
