OFFICIAL 2020 Free Dining WATCH Thread - FREE DINING No Longer Available. First Post Updated with Details

[samsteele]

standard at Pop was only $90 more

Take POP for that upgrade. POP has a better resort layout, more efficient bus IMO, easy walk to better food court at AoA, can jump on AoA bus if it shows up faster than POP and the addition of the skyliner makes it an easy choice.

Woohoo... I think? I arrive June 26th, already booked. I can call and get it split?
Or am I better off booking a new reservation online and cancelling the old?
So confusing.

I would book now, it's so limited that I wouldn't wait to call.

I originally booked Sports preferred but for $60 upgrade went to Music preferred for lock on upgraded room by changing arrival date by one day. Not the dates I really want, and rather not pay for preferred, but will take for now and if another FD drop happens later will rebook better dates with standard room. So OK result for me and will keep watching.

I’m booking the 29th - 5th and deciding later. We drive from Minnesota and the kid goes back the 8th to school. Had hoped to do a ten day stay.

Check your school schedule. We ALWAYS start after Labor Day but we are starting 8/31 this year instead. I was shocked.

Well I booked sept 8-18. Didnt wanna loose the offer but will prob drop it once my parents let me know what they want to do. Id like a deal for mid Oct-Nov though

Just checked again and it shows the 8th. I was paranoid because 1 usually not so late and 2 it had said draft. It now shows approved by school board and not draft.

I dont see preferred just standard.

Looks like plenty of others did... I think its bc I was looking early the last week of August... so late late August has availability

I see preffered at pop from 8/29-9/7

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Couldn’t get anything for deluxe resorts even changing our dates from mid August to end of June or beginning of a July. Only thing available was club level or suites. We can’t go end of August since kids are back in college by then

Has anyone been able to book a package with free dinning and still get the Canadian ticket price discount? I have in the past but I think it's not allowed anymore.

Definitely limited, but who knows? With such a short two week booking window, maybe they’ll release more summer dates in a few weeks.

 

[tinabina919]

What are the dates for this? Can’t even get on the site...

It’s never been allowed. You must have got lucky.

Only Royal rooms and River view I can see for POR. Better snag the Riverview.

 

[Attracted to Beasts]

Booked POR FQ 9/3-9/7 for a quick Labor Day getaway! Can’t wait

 

[jessiegirl1982]

Booked Pop standard 7/7-7/14! We are pretty open for the summer. Was hoping for Mid June or a July 9th check in, but can make this work. Glad I didn’t set my alarm until 3:15a PST. I was only in orbit for like 3 minutes.

Also, I feel like Disney might do a second wave of free dining in April. This round is too restrictive and the booking window is only 2 weeks.
