Free Dining Fall 2015? (and a whole lot more)

[vicarrieous]

My offer NOT BOOKED with Disney VISA. I'm hoping I got some pixie dust tonight -- will gladly spread some around if I can. We always do park hoppers because we are commando touring types, but I understand a lot of folks do not like or are able to do more than a park a day.

But, the cost of a PH over a longer stay is really worth it in our opinion...so much flexibility. Now for a shorter stay -- not so much.

Good luck to my fellow DISers as this offer goes live. I hope you are all able to modify and book what you want!

Is a confirmation showing in your My Disney Experience account already? Thats super exciting!

I just called and the guy said if I booked tonight I could call back in morning to apply discount! Then he said or whatever day it is available. Lol. I am so excited!

Thanks for the phone number. Judging from many prior posts, I'm thinking I'll end up having to phone, too. I'm bummed because it could turn into a really expensive phone call from Canada! Oh well, it will still be cheaper than paying for food for 9 days so....

I dont know from were you are but in QUebec you can make 10-10-910 before the phone call and it cost i thnik 1$ for one hour

What time do the phone lines close for tonight? I was hoping to call at 11 pm (central time) tonight sine I have to work tomorrow and online isn't an option because I have to modify. I'm not going to complain though if I can add FD! That would save us tons!!

Also, in case I can't modify tonight, how early can I call tomorrow? Thanks in advance for any insight!

I will feel so relieved once this is over! We have agreed to book a BB so maybe I'll never have to do this again but in a way it is fun! LOL

I'm a control nut too! I gotta be totally involved in my plans or I spend most of my time worrying whether or not it got taken care of or whether or not I will agree or be pleased. Lol

I am a control freak too. I really enjoy all this planning...I'm a big time planner. My husband says I'm obsessed. That's ok. He just likes to show up and enjoy the vacation. He is not a planner.

We always book a bounce back but it's only ever been a room only discount, so I still find myself stressing the free dining when it is released!

My husband and I are the exact same! I plan to the point that I could recite every detail in my sleep, and he says so, what day do we arrive, and how long do we get to stay?

Just called. Couldn't get the offer tonight, but she 100% confirmed free dining is coming tomorrow. She said some things I found interesting though:
She made it sound like the space is REALLY limited. I'm staying at POP Sept 10-19, and even though she had the Aug 28-Oct 2 dates, she was only showing value availability from Sept 11-28, which I thought was really weird. Again, not saying she was right, but she definitely confused me.

She also said that there was "one of the stipulations says 7 nights" stay required. Not sure what that's about, as the ad we saw said five, so I don't think that applies to everything.

She also wasn't sure if you could book online.

the closer you get to the October days, the more booked things will get. it was that way last year, as well. it's Fall break season across the southeast.

We are central time too so will we be able to check for offers at 11pm or do we need to wait until midnight?

Also, i thought only using Visa pre sale you have to call- so if they skip Visa pre sale and offer it to the public tomorrow and we have an existing reservation, can we modify online?

I must've not known how to talk to the CM because everyone got more out of the CMs than I did!

Yikes -7 nights - I could do six maybe but was hoping to only stay 5 on property with the new park hopper addition (and stay offsite on points first night or two)

Holy crap. I'm at the point where I am tired of jumping through hoops for FD. I think if I can't get FD bounce backs going forward I will be doing Universal and Sea World instead.

I don't mean that Mickey. I'm just tired and frustrated. Please don't ban me from Disneyworld.

Don't feel bad, I gently pressured for info and got NOTHING.
