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

[K-Jen]

Wh

After spending over an hour trying to call and waiting on hold for almost 2.5 hours when I finally got through, we have free dining! And we didn't have to switch resorts! Still at POP!

What are your dates? I can't find anything online at Pop.

For those changing online, how long is it taken to update your reservation? I have been on the site for 30 minutes with the wheel spinning.

My wheel is still spinning and changed reservation at 7:30 sp....3 and 1/2 hours.

Wish I had been wrong about the quick service at the moderates. That was a low blow this year.

Well at least your min nights and min ticket days were wrong. So there's that lol.
That helped a lot of people be able to go. Unfortunately I'm still not going mostly due to rflight prices.

I was having that issue for a little while then it started to work again after about 2 hours. Try a different browser.

Great, thank you!

Try it in a different browser or incognito. That's what worked for me when that happened.

No availability last week of Sept for CBR exception is pirate room...Tried to login again
.Circle of death under reservation

That's what I'm looking at too! Was on as soon as it dropped and nothing for me except pirate rooms! I was modifying my ressie.

Thanks for the heads up. I was using Chrome and the options weren't showing up for me. Just the spinning circle of doom. Switched to Firefox and I can see all my options. Probably need to reboot my laptop for Chrome to work again.

Basically nothing available for The Poly. Switched over to the Boardwalk for my first stay of my split-stay. Super bummed that I won't be at the Poly but I love Boardwalk to death, saving 300 bucks more than I would have with Poly discounted, and will be able to now walk to Food and Wine so life is good!

what are your dates?

I used the disney chase link from last year and it worked. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/special-offers/resort-parks-stay-dine-visa-package/

We booked All Star Sports, regular room 8/13 - 8/21

Thank you sooo much for posting this!!! We were able to get free dining at the Contemporary for 8/14-8-24

I used a different browser to get the "Change My Reservation" button to work and I finally got it! Was able to get the AKL discount!

 

[Mollymovacca]

Did anyone at CBR with a GC able to modify?

Nope I didn't... only pirate rooms for me. But others said they could!

 

[Tonyz]

what are your dates?

September 5-8 at Boardwalk, 8-10 at AKL.

Still gonna look for the Poly discounts but I'm happy with what I got!

Quick Question: How long does it usually take MDE to update? I changed my reservation to get FD early this morning, and received a confirmation email with the updated details. Yet when I look in MDE, it is still showing my original plans with no FD. Is there typically a delay in updating MDE? I didn't use a TA and modified my reservation online. Just want to make sure that the change "stuck".

I got FD added to my existing reservation via telephone. When I checked MDE it was there right away

 

[bjcaed]

For those of you that modified a reservation, how long will it show the different reservation details in you MDE? Mine still has the old info but I have a email confirmation of the new modified reservation. sorry, just saw that my same question was just asked!!!
Thanks!!!

I think this is a sign that they are trying to squeeze it out, make it not valuable anymore.

 

[Marlin12]

Did you get everything sorted out??

Yes! I opened up a new browser and was able to adjust! Thank you!

 

[GMU MOM]

Did anyone who called get a room that wasn't available online? Both CSR and sports had preferred only.

Instead, I have CBR for $3900. Again, I have $1380 toward AP upgrades. I also have $825 in gift cards. So that room with QSDP for the 5 adults cost $1695. That gives me 110 QS and 110 snack credits. I used my DVC points and my Poly studio is costing me $1150. So for $2845 I am staying at the Poly with QSDP. Techinically we won't even be walking in the door at CBR although I could cancel my weekend at the Poly and turn those points into a 4 night stay in Vero and stay at CBR for those few days when we are going to Universal.

I remember when people would do that all the time ... book a room at a Value resort just for the DDP and stay at their DVC resort . You totally scored by keeping your $75 gift card! And you're feeding your family of 5 for only $154 per day ... brava!

I can get single rooms discounts at the Poly for two days in a row... but I can't get them together. What in the hell???
