All this buzz about FD is exciting!! Hoping it comes out soon!!
I thought of doing this for September but if it means I can't stay at POR ever again because free dining won't ever happen there then I will either bank on the discount or pay rack. I think we are all so used to getting the discount we don't know how the other half lives.
Me too. It was the end of October and FD was offered the begining of May.We had FD at POR in October 2013. Maybe they will offer FD at POR every other year? (fingers crossed)...

I did rebook within the dates. I actually added on an extra week. I wasn't sure of your dates that you are changing to, I just didn't want you to possibly miss out on the bounceback if it would have workedDid you re-book within the same FD dates that were being offered during the bounceback or was your new reservation outside those FD dates but they allowed you to keep FD anyway?
he is rebranding, the page is still there.Anyone else notice that Disney by Joe's Facebook page is suddenly gone?
We have never stayed in any of the hotels, we are campers but this is a special trip. I was really looking forward to POR but my daughter isn't too upset about the switch, she said the colors in the rooms at CBR look nice and she loves that it's pretty close to EPCOT as that is her favorite park. Honestly though if it turns out our dates don't work with free dining I'll probably switch back to POR.
We had it in September of 2013, with a general offer (we booked early using our Visa). It makes me giggle when people say, "POR has been excluded for years" It's been a year and a half of free dining exclusion (that I know of)...and it was included in the summer discounts.All this buzz about FD is exciting!!

What were the percentages listed? Any booking requirements (length of stay, type of ticket). Was there a PIN? Or, was it just an offer? I'm assuming it was mail from Disney itself.November dates for discounted rooms are out! I got the mailing yesterday! I think this means that if free dining is going to happen....the offer should be out soon (hoping). The dates are 11/1 to 11/5, 11/9 to 11/20, 11/28 to 11/30. The add includes Value Resorts (no specific resorts), moderate resorts (no specific resorts) and AK and Wilderness for the Deluxe Resorts. I just think this is a really good sign for those of waiting to hear for November deals. Anyone else have any thoughts about this?
Yeah, it was a mailing from Disney, no pin code and it listed the room prices not a particular percent discount. I was encouraged because this is the first mailing I have received with November dates. I'm hoping this is a sign of more to come SOON!What were the percentages listed?

I got one yesterday for Sept. Same type of ad. No pin code, just saying to come in September with regular room rates. Looked exactly like the emails with the game board an mickey. I hope this means fall promotions coming soon.Yeah, it was a mailing from Disney, no pin code and it listed the room prices not a particular percent discount.

Last year we went from POFQ full price. To POR with 30% off room rate pin. To CBR with free dining then finally back to POFQ with a Pin for FD. If you are willing to do the work anything is possible. Many people did the switch from POFQ when it was excluded. I think that's why it opened up with a pin. Good luck everyone. Its coming I can feel it
I believe you can put all of your park tickets under the reservation with free dining. After all, the more ticket days you book together, the less they cost per day. Let's say you were staying for 8 days and free dining was offered for the third night of your trip on. You would book a room only for the first two nights, then make a second booking for the remaining nights (5-6 depending on what time of day you're checking out). You would add 8 day park tickets to your second booking. You would still only get 5-6 days worth of credits because it's based on your room stay not the number of days your tickets are for.I have a question about doing a split stay - I've heard about folks doing this to get FD. How does it work? You book resort and park passes for one set of days and then another ressie for resort and another park pass? How does that affect FP+? You have two 60 day windows? Thank you!!
