Free Dining Oct-Dec Is Here!!

[black562]

Chip and Co. is updating their info, including the suites at AoA being included, changing the book by date, etc. They are a hot mess at the moment.

I just talked with Chip. He's making some changes to that end date and seems that there may be some holes he's had to fill in himself.

Thank you, thank you, thank you....to all who shared information about the PIN codes. I have never received one but your posts led me to calling to ask about it. There was nothing attached to my name, my husband's name, my son's name, or my daughter in law, but she found one for my godson who is going on the trip with us. Whoop-Whoop! The only problem was that we were booked at All Star Movies and there were no FD rooms left, but she switched us to All Star Music and we're all set. 47 minutes on the phone, but well worth it!!

If certain resorts are going to be excluded from free dining won't a lot of people cx their reservations and move to another resort to get the free dining thus opening up a bunch of rooms at the resorts that weren't included and then those will need to get booked?

Holiday world is alot of fun. Have only been once this year though. We'll try to go again next month or as soon as this crazy weather makes up it's mind what it wants to do.....one day it's 70 and the next it's 90.

Did he mention anything about PO-R being excluded for the Room only discount?

I'm determining that now. Stay tuned.

I think someone mentioned a Sonic Screwdriver as well....

A bunch of folks at work are totally Whoee's.

Don't forget the Back to the Future and Empire Strikes Back references.

I think my next cup of coffee will have some Jameson in it.

Please say no, please say no, please say no.
I am not getting my hopes up too much though. My back up plan is actually alternate dates (feb). I'd hate to have to through all this again in October though !

...be moved to the Thursday drinking/Hi Indiana!/Dave is balding/live edits of Chip's page board?

I think we will all be a bunch of balding alcoholics after this is over.

To all that want POFQ, but would be willing to change out of POFQ if it is not included in the FD offer. Is POR your #1 backup? We just can't decide what our #2 pick would be (POR or CBR). We have liked POR the times we have walked over there and i am sure we would love it there, the reason we like CBR is the pool, but we don't know how much time we will spend at the pool so don't know if we should factor that in or not. I like how close POR is to POFQ. Is POR as relaxed as FQ? That is one of the biggest reasons we love POFQ, Size, Quietness and our daughter love to get the coins and beads form the greater!!! Does POR have a Greater? We don't know what to do ( I feel like POR is the better choice as it is closer to the theaming of FQ) When i was a kid we always stayed at CBR so that was why My wife and i started staying at POFQ so it would be something new for both of us. Sorry for running on.... just looking for your thoughts on where you will be looking to stay and why if you get/want Free Dinning and you can't stay at POFQ. Thanks

Chip and Co. has posted "breaking news" about the deal on their Facebook page and website. They are confirming Thursday, but they have a book by date of Sept. 15??? That is way too short. I told them the foreign markets show the date as Nov 15. They also have a crazy list of excluded resorts for the FD deal.

Quick one on a post you sent a while back on the DV Meet and Greet in Epcot. I have done it in the past and think it is great for the personal time and free picture. Ive only gone once during each trip - but sounds like you said you can go once a day (assuming you go to EPCOT each day). Is that correct, and do you get a free picture each day. Not that I want to be greedy but free is free. Thanks

For the room discounts at this point his site says:

"Excluded are the mermaid rooms at Art of Animation and"

And what? A brick wall? A bearded lady? What?

Note that my my post for roon discounts said mermaid rooms, campsites, and three bedroom villas.

Question:

I'm currently booked on a bounceback -- room-only (11/23 - 11/29). Only 11/23 was included with the bounceback rate (30% off).

When FD becomes available (assuming 8/1), and if it does in fact include 11/23 as speculated, can I just make my reservation online and then cancel the bounceback room-only reservation later?

I just want to make sure it's not going to disallow from booking if it knows I'm already booked for those dates. I have NOT linked my reservation in MDE so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Or do I need to actually call and change my reservation? Trying to avoid having to get on the phone that day. Thanks.

I think we will do a deluxe the first 4 nights w free dining and finish the trip at swan/dolphin on points. Will be about the same price as pofq the whole time w free dining, depending on the deluxe. Still hoping for pofq though!

Yep, you can do it once daily. If you have the credit and the debit, you can get two photos daily-- both from the same session or one each on two separate sessions. So we went two days in a row and got 4 free 5x7s.

Good question, and if it is linked on MDE does it matter? If so, is there a way to unlink it? Or maybe just sign in under another account?

Thank you very much for whatever info you can get on this!!

Exactly! On FB, he posted AoA and PO-R. Then on his page, the empty "and..." LOL! I think he enjoys tormenting us!
