******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

[ThistleMae]

So guess no rumors yet means this isn't happening tomorrow night/ Monday morning. So we have probably at least 1 more week. I'm sick and have nothing better to do then stare at this board. Lol.

I've been sick going on 2 weeks...ugh! But I love hanging out with all of you, and so true this has been such a respectful and fun thread.

I find the dad site garbage. All it is is one giant advertisement for the travel agency he endorses. When I did subscribe every email was just something telling me to buy his stuff or use his travel agent.

Yes, this happened to me too. I signed up and I get the same type of advertisements. Disappointed.

 

[ThistleMae]

Ah, yes. "He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich".

It's savoury. Salty. Umami (the fifth basic taste). It has a sharpness to it like tomato paste can have. There's no way you would dip in and eat a spoonful from the jar like peanut butter.
Most people make the mistake of spreading it thick like Nutella and that's deadly. You need hot toast (preferably plain, empty calorie white bread), melted butter and a light scraping of Vegemite over the top.

Bliss.

Comfort food. If you're sick, that's what your mum makes you to ease you back into food.

What's it made out of?

Me too. But I singed up to every FD alert that I can find. I can't wait to cancel dad!

I already cancelled dad's. With very little realy information coming from him I doubt he will even be anywhere near getting the correct information out before we already know it.

Good point. I also signed up, and now I'm getting several emails a day encouraging me to buy stuff. I think I'm going to follow your lead and cancel. We're sure to get more reliable info here!

I'm loving this thread. No matter how many times I check during the day (a lot), and especially first thing in the morning, I can always count on several new pages to read.

Thinking of making a room only reservation at Music in order to lock in my days. I don't want to to do a package beacause of the down payment amount. My plan is to call and switch to free dinning promo when it comes out. (hopefully it will be when we have chosen to go in October or November) Do I need to tell them anything special when I book about the possiblity that I will be adjusting. Can you still mail a package to the resort? Do any of the gift shops sell Coppertone sunscreen?
thanks

What's it made out of?

Yeast extract. A by-product of brewing beer. They then add some spices and other mystery things.

That's why we drink so much beer here. Have to keep the Vegemite coming!

The down payment amount is $200 regardless of room only or package.

Is it just me or was it a tease to see a couple of messages from Steve and Black.....hoping we get an update of what they know or at this point what they don't know. Guessing my times will not be free dining, but love this thread and will always return.

No teases. I'm still here.

 

[pkr1209]

Can someone please point me in the direction of Steve and Black? What are their blogs or sites please?

 

[dwalterpsu]

Any rumors yet?

 

[Chime]

You looking for a fight??!!



When I lived in England I had Marmite all the time when I was at other people's houses or travelling. But there was always a jar of Vegemite in the cupboard at home. I always found it bizarre that Vegemite was put on the shelf with Bisto and Bovril near all the gravy things. It was like Sainsbury's didn't want the Vegemite and Marmite fraternising!

So is there an American version of Vegemite? Obviously we don't have a 'mite' item....but something all Americans eat that others consider an acquired taste?

Our last trip my husband didn't want to eat the collard greens that came with the meal so he "hid" them under the leftover chicken bones. When the server went to clear the plates from the table he moved the bones and food around and found the collard greens. He made my DH stand up in front of everyone in our area and sing I'm a little teapot and do the motions. It was pretty hillarious!

When I didn't eat my collard greens, my server brought them back to me with whipped cream and sprinkles and tried to make me eat them for dessert

Been reading for days, hoping for information. We are going in Sept. We haven't been to the parks in almost six years. FD would be awesome as we are visiting my niece while she is in the CP.

The down payment amount is $200 regardless of room only or package.

When I have made room only reservations in the past, the down payment is 1 nights stay.

I believe you are right. Sorry about that!

Did somebody say tease?

you need to eat some vegemite hahahaha and yes, I would say it's an acquired taste isn't it the sludgy stuff that's left in the barrels after making beer?
