Free dining
- Thread starter nesgarcia
- Start date
No offense but if they offer free dining for the fall, I hope they announce it after next Monday, because I can make my ADR's this weekend, so I may still have a chance to get what I want. We are DVC members and not eligible for any of these promos. SO I hope you all get it just after Monday.

I don't think you'll have any problem getting everything you want.

All the debating about the specific free dining promotion aside, is it strange/notable that the promotions would completely end--as in no more would be offered--on August 15?
Way back I remember the announcement from some head honcho that the company needs to scale its promotions, but after a summer of deals does it make sense that August 15 would really be the end date?

Making sense hasn't always been a priority. Seriously though, I am still getting post card pin codes in the mail and we have already been on one week long trip over Easter (we did snag a last minute deal on that trip) and we already have an 8 day trip paid in full for July at the Yacht Club. You would think those two things might make them realize no matter how many more pin codes you send me I won't be making another trip before late fall or winter. But good luck to those waiting for a gp offer.

They aren't going to NOT have a promotion during their slowest times of the years. That announcement was to appease board members and stockholders. When it was announced I figured it would merely be the elimination of the buy four, get three days free promo. The QS dining plan may be more of a response to complaints about reservations/space during that time than anything else (they have to refuse people who are paying to accomodate those getting it for free). Also, someone else mentioned it in an earlier thread, and I brought it up in another thread recently, that perhaps free dining is being scaled because so many people are pre-booking expecting it that Disney doesn't think they need to offer it.

Agreed.
Iger said less discounts this year, and I've said it before (and I'm sure I'll say it again :lol
we can all debate about the quality of the discounts offered so far this year, but there is no doubt there has been a large quantity of discounts. The fact they rolled out a second discount (albeit with less savings) for the summer season shows they haven't filled their rooms to a point they are happy with. There is a current PIN code offer out now for free Quick Service Dining for dates through 8/14, and the offer requires booking by 4/30/2010. Based on what rumors are out there (including over at touringplans.com), I doubt we'll see any annoucement about fall discounts til around that point in time. That's just an educated guess based on all of the available information, so take it for what it's worth.

Kids dine and stay free through OCT 2. Guess this is our answer. Sad for those without kids though.

The Disney Visa offer is pretty good - IF you have kids 3-9 - because they get free tickets AND food.
With the general public version, kids 3-9 only get the free tickets. The "stay free" part is misleading because kids already stay in the room free with adults.
The strong "rumor" - which I've had unofficially validated by two separate, legitimate sources - is that some sort of Free Dining will happen, and it will most likely mimic the PIN Code offers that some guests have been getting. Free QS for Value and Moderate, and free Basic for Deluxe & Villa - with the option of upgrading for a cost.
This seems the most likely, otherwise if they offer a step better, they'll have every one of those PIN people calling BACK in to change their reservations, and Disney doesn't like to encourage phone time or reducing booked vacation prices.

I hope that you are right because without the free dining I don't think we will taking our normal 10 day trip this year.

Yup, heard something similar. Heard that it might only be QS, but if its totally free dining again that would be great. We'll just have to wait and see.

Does not seem likely at all that free dining will be offered. Mousesavers just put the discounts up for the fall .
Kids stay and play free ( ages 3-9) general public , from most stays thru oct 2 must book by 8/14 .
then disney visa holders get kids get quick service free ( ages 3-9) from most stays thru Oct 2. must book by 6/30
Oh well still save 300 cause I had to upgrade. But I guess all good things must come to an end. :shrug:

Im sorry but i do not think they are going to offer something better than this for Disney Visa card holders. It just makes no sense for them to do eat and play for kids free and then change it to the eat for free the whole family. I mean everyone would call and change. I would ! This looks like it would be it now after 6/30 maybe something better but i am not sure if it can get any better. They really seem to want people to come during this Harry Potter hoop La that is going on. Whatever I took the deal not happy about but not complaining either I saved money. No one really can complain about saving.
