How do you get the free dining? It is not on the website.
Historically free dining has been offered for the whole month of November and we started planning our trip with that in mind. Our travel dates aren’t included in the free dining dates just released. Any chance Disney will expand the offer?
Not for UK guests
It has never been harder to call WDW. The best I’ve able to do in a week is sit on hold for half an hour. Mostly it’s “All circuits busy”.
Will there be free dining in Janury 2015 as I am going from the fourth and from the UK.
I hope I can do it as it would be very good.
I will just have to keep an eye out.
Thanks
Not for passholders either!
SAM GOLDSWORTHY…
Free dining for 2015 has already been released for UK residents on the 24th April. Covers from the 1st January i do believe. disneyholidays.co.uk
I’ve tried calling 37 times already today. I get nothing but busy tones every time. It would be nice to be able to save on food in September…
Great! I just saved $700!!, although I will spend them anyway there…
There seem to be a lot more restrictions on the Free Dining this year. My family was able to take advantage of it last year in the middle of October, but those dates are not available now. We had talked about going back for a few days at the same time this year. We never booked the trip, and I’m now glad we didn’t, because we wouldn’t have gotten Free Dining. We are now talking about going to California and spending a few days at Disneyland. There is no Free Dining, but it would still be a fun trip.
Our favorite resort (Port Orleans French Quarter) is no longer included… Why???
Want to stay at Coronado Springs, you HAVE to pay for a King Bed room!
Disappointing restrictions and more each year.
You guys should be grateful, at least you get the regular dining plan for free, if us Brits stay in a value, we get a breakfast and moderate/deluxe only get free dining, and costs us like $6000 minimum for 14 nights…
Quick service dining plan*
…..the “earliest” dates used to start in the middle to third week of August. We had been going on / about Aug 23/24 thru Sept 2/3 for several years ….and got shut-out last yr. for the first time.
…..that said ….we won’t be there this year.
Stll getting the all circuits are busy message. Had a reservation for POR and wanted to change to CS. Went on the website and made a reservation that way. Will cancel the POR reservation tomorrow. I hope I will be able to get through.
I was on hold for 90 minutes but finally got through. Insane. Saved almost 1000 dollars though.
I booked Friday, May 2 under the Disney Visa deal. It is so worth it to get a head start over everyone else wanting Free Dining. I waited on hold for two hours but it was worth it…we saved $1700!!!!
I seriously hit redial over and over again from 7 am est to 9 am and got all circuits are busy the entire time. Then I called over my lunch break and had no problems adding it.
Have tried all day I cant get thru been on hold now for almost an hour
Anyone know if this available to DVC members? I just booked our stay for October and would love to take advantage of it!
The Disney site says a minimum of 6 nights and 7 days of Magic Your Way tickets needs to be bought. Is that how it is for Canadian residents? So confused!
Of Course the week my wife and I will be there (Oct 9-19) isn’t included…..
We book through AAA and our agent spent over 4 hours on the phone to change/modify reservations. We were staying at POR December 21-29 but switched to a king room at Caribbean Beach. We saved over $600! We had free dining at POR during the same time period last year and were kinda bummed to not be able to stay there again, but $600 is significant!
Yay updated our resevation with free dining after almost a week of my AAA agent calling to get through! Keep in mind if you book your Disney Vacation through AAA they have to update your reservation you can not call Disney World directly… Must have 7 days and 6 night stay at a participating Disney Resort and must purchase at mnimum a two day MYW park tickets and travel during select dates. Savings of $1000!!!
Why are All-Star Movies and Port Orleans excluded from the offer? What’s significant about them that would cause this?
Hi we are arriving on the 25 Oct and departing on the 31 Oct does that mean we miss out? Thanks
Will they offer free dining in January 2015? Anyone know?
My husband and I made our reservations for Dec.13-20 and we did get the free dining. I always book our reservations around the dining offers. What an economical way to go especially for families of 3,4,5 or more.
The food is very expensive and it’s great not to have to pay for it. Admission tickets have skyrocketed and we think free dining should be offered at least twice a year. It would allow people who can’t afford Disney to experience it without the added expense of food.
Thirty percent off rooms is great….. but we prefer the free dining… I hope Disney re-visits the twice a year offer… the way things are in the world today….everyone deserves a little R&R and what better place to do that than WDW !!!!!
Does anyone know if free dining will be offered for the dates January 10-17 2015
