Does not make the statement true though, that was my point.

I actually couldn't care less about the free dining, would never use it, its just annoying they give 42% off plus free dining at the resorts we pay the upkeep for.

Dont blame you, it's a great deal.
It is but combining discounts is an option only available to UK residents.

Thats where I live, your point is ?
You are complaining about the discounts that a rather small segment of Disney's clientele gets as if their presence at your resort diminishes its value.

I am an AP holder and booked "room only". I called back at a later date and inquired about adding the dining plan (willing to pay full price just to have it all taken care of beforehand) and was told I couldn't unless I rebooked as a package. :shrug: I don't need tickets, I have an AP.

And we are thankul for it!! Gets us there for 3 weeks!!!:sohappy::sohappy:
You can get the DDP with an AP but the room has to be booked in one of two specific ways. It has to be booked at an AP discounted rate or a what is called the "passholder room only annual offer" which is a room at full price. If you book the room like this they can make it a package without tickets and you can get the DDP. The big down side to this is you can not book a room only with a PIN code or general public discount and still get the DDP without at least a 1 day ticket purchase.I am an AP holder and booked "room only".

And that is why they do it! Disney knows you guys will stay for a long time and spend money like it is water!:lol:

Enough said.
Disney knows how much people love the word "free".
And use that knowledge to fill rooms when they need to.

Maybe, but we go for 3 weeks anyway! 2 years ago we spent $7000 including our meals! Last year with free dining we only spent $3000 with an extra $1000 for our resort, so thats $3000 less!! Works for me :sohappy:
Wow, not really feeling the magic on these harsh responses!
So I asked a question out loud, "why can't DVC memebers get free dining" and the responses I got ranged from stop crying you can't double dip, can't have your cake & eat it too, it's not really free (duh park tix) & so forth. Well so very sorry. I love this place more than anywhere else & thought it would be nice to discuss things amongst others who felt the same way. Obviously I was mistaken so I'll just log off & delete my name & read the updates now & then.

Don't you think you're just overreacting a bit?? You asked us "why can't DVC members get free dining" and we all responded with our opinion on "why DVC members can't get free dining". Everyone provided you with their view on the subject and you just happened to not like our answers. We all love this place too and were open to the discussion....

It`s good that someone asks a question and everyone can add their experiences /advice/ comments.
Surely we all manage our vacations in different ways. We like the DVC as we self cater for breakfast and lunch--which saves us alot. So we only eat out in the evenings.

Us too, we use Garden Grocer delivery service, saves alot . when you think how much you spend for just breakfast in Disney, and we're a family of 4....Multiply that by 7 days, yeah yikes!! I like too we can eat( I can actually make a great cup of coffee at the resort) then start our day going to a park!!!
