Play Stay Dine Watch 2018

[vicbomb5]

Hey everyone,
Figured I would start a thread for a Play, Stay, Dine 2018 promotion watch - it should be coming at some point over the next few weeks!

I have our trip booked for 2/3 - 2/12, hoping for a nice discount like I got last year.

We can use this thread to share info / rumors as they come out!

-Vic

Yep...me too. Patiently waiting...not! LOL Looking at Jan. 27-Feb. 3. If I book now, can I update/apply discount online through My Disney Experience, or will I need to call?

 

[vicbomb5]

You will likely need to call or have your TA do it for you.

1/27-2/2 here as well! Hoping to make either a room discount or "free" dining work for us as well!

Always use a travel agent. It costs you nothing and they do the hard work. When a deal is released, it's not uncommon for people to spend hours on hold waiting to talk to someone. Let your agent do that for you.

Technically, you generally don't update a reservation to get a deal. It is considered a new booking. Booking now will secure your dates and location, but there's no guarantee a discount will be available for the dates & location you've chosen.

From what I'm guessing, it will be released the end of Sept, or early Oct..... if at all, but my money in on yes.... from the almost 2nd week in January till at least the start of March...

I'm waiting for the Play, Stay, Dine discount as well. We were set for a visit Sept 11th-18th but the hurricane put an end to our vacation and free dining. I rebooked for Jan 30th-Feb 6th. I've never been to WDW in the winter!

Sorry to hear this but happy to see you re-booked! The winter is my personal favorite time of the year to go, been there in February over a dozen times, you will love it!

I'm looking forward to the more moderate temperatures. Gives me an excuse to buy some Disney hoodies. I'm assuming it rains a lot less too!
Are the Play Stay Dine offers as scarce as free dining? I had to book the free dining discount right when it became available.

Hey...do they sent the code in an email...I have the Chase Disney Premier Card and don't remember getting a code last year.

 

[ElleJay1119]

I also just canceled our trip for 9/10-9/15. We lost free dining too. Super bummed, but starting to plan again. Looking at either week of 2/25 or 3/3. How do the discounts work in winter?

 

[Gelatoni]

I would not say they are as scarce as free dining, I've never had an issue getting the discount. Even as our trip got closer last year availability with teh discount opened up in Coronado Springs and a few other moderate resorts as well.

At the very minimum you will end up with a nicer room at what you are paying now more likely than not. Just be ready the day it goes live to get the call in or keep watching after as room changes always create more availability.

I would think with Toy Story opening in the summer, there will be people waiting for that to go to WDW, so I'm hoping it works in all of our favor.
