Free Dining 2014?

[MichelleMaBelle]

Ok called back and asked, ASM and both POR are excluded, other than that everything is exactly as was posted by PrincessNelly. With Visa holders starting tomorrow and general public on the 7th.

Both POR? Meaning Riverside and French Quarter? That messes up my whole plan Guess I have to re-plan tonight!

I just wanted to say that although my fingers are crossed I am a Disney travel agent, and NOTHING has been confirmed so far. No Free Dining for sure, no resorts not being offered, etc., etc. I spoke to Disney just now. It is all unfortunately still rumor, although I still have my fingers crossed! So I beg of you, if you have plans already made, PLEASE do not change anything until you hear from your travel agent or hear from Disney or your Visa for SURE that it is indeed happening! I am currently booked at POR in October, so I understand the panic!

Why would they exclude ASM but not the other value resorts?

It's been released to Visa holders. Hate to say I told you so......

 

[ninjaprincesst]

I have never been able to book free dining with the visa offer before, do you have to have a pin code or anything or do you just call Disney with your visa card?

It is official now, and both are excluded.

Guess we'll have to look into sports or music then, are family suites at AoA included? Might use this as a chance to convince wife to pay the extra

 

[sublimesting]

we're sorry all circuits are busy now......

 

[Allygator]

I wonder if they excluded FQ and POR because that is where the majority of the bounce back offers are booked? I find that strange that they wouldn't be included. I am already booked there for a preferred room. I got a room discount and free memory maker. I'm sure by May 7 if i change resorts there won't be any preferred room available. Decisions, decisions....

If you got the room discount you cant get free dining, it's one or the other.

How long have ppl been on hold? ive been holding for 30 minutes now.

 

[Allygator]

Yes I know that. Just trying to figure out if I should book another resort for the free dining. It would be $900 cheaper. I had my heart set on Riverside but that is hard to pass over.

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

I'm really concerned...
1. I feel bad for families of 5 who will have to move out of POR.
2. I have a feeling CSR & CBR will end up being overwhelmed.
My poor CSR! Guess I'll be up early on May 7th to get my room at CSR
