Anyone else very disappointed about the FD promo? I am booked for the end of August into Sept. I called today about the free dining since I am a Visa cardholder. I was informed that I would have to re-book part of my trip for the beginning date of Sept. 2 and then I would only get 2 days of FD since I am leaving on Sept. 4. I stupidly thought that as long as you were within the "time-frame" of the promo you would get the FD for your while trip but the Disney person on the phone said no. Unfortunately you have to book the reservation on Sept. 2. I can't change my trip schedule from Aug. When I crunch the numbers for how much I would save it really is not worth it to me. I know they came out with a discount on rooms for the end of Aug. but I already have a great deal on that. Just venting... disappointed.

No reason to be disappointed, you really don't save a whole lot with "free" dining since you'll lose your room discount. Just have a good time.

the rules are that if FD is offered during the time you check in, you get it for duration of trip, even if your trip ends after the promo is over. but not the opposite, if your trip ends during FD, and you check in before, you don't get it for length of stay. which is why you would need 2 separate reservations, one for before FD and one starting with FD. as tissandtully said, you are not missing much. i find it barely saves me anything at all over my tables in wonderland card. a package that includes "free dining" costs more than just a room and tickets, and if you get a discount on your room, you may be better off.
