Also Id.like to know the perks and discounts non DVC members speak of that we get??!! What we do get

We break down and compare the costs and options for several Disney World discounts, including the free dining offer, in our fully updated DFB Guide to Walt Disney World® Dining 2014 e-Book to help you save the most money possible.
I have to agree with Keith also Yes our all time favorite resort is Port Orleans Riverside too But to take advantage of this we are going to try a new resort. Who knows, we may like that one just the same. It s very generous that Disney offers this. DVC members already receive a pretty good discount 365 days out of the year why not spread the wealth around a little. Yes, I understand that DVC members fork out X amount of dollars a year to be that privelaged. BUT you stay at a VERY nice resort and you took the choice to joing their timeshare. We are cardholders downtown los angeles virtual office and I love advance reservation opportunities downtown los angeles virtual office That s a perk of the card!
As I read all of these comments I usually am not one to complain, but I too am a DVC member and we are bringing friends this year for their first trip ever to Disney. downtown los angeles virtual office SO because we are staying in a 3 bedroom villa, and are DVC members no one can take advantage of these offers. It seems like once you buy into DVC and pay dues you are not valued anymore as a guest. I know that they offer some benefits, but really none that truly effect and help families that are average . I was told of the benefits that DVC offers a members only cruise that would cost our crew over $1000 to do really?! I do feel it is time that Disney starts to reward downtown los angeles virtual office people downtown los angeles virtual office that come every year, pay dues every month and support their business!!
I agree Andrew Z. People are complaining and it s extreme entitlement at work. Disney is a business, these promos are ONLY offered to fill rooms. They exclude rooms that they have no problems filling. Simple. Not discriminatory. Free dining is a great deal for many and hasn t been around forever. I m DVC and I m never been able to take advantage. I booked downtown los angeles virtual office a trip this year in hopes of taking advantage of free dining should downtown los angeles virtual office it be offered and we were booking on cash and not points. We went w/ points. Oh well. They don t need to offer deals to AP holders. they already have your business. Sounds crude, but that s the fact. Disney doesn t owe it to any of us to make it possible to go. We re all lucky that the parks are still doing well financially and we are still all able to go.
Ok people need to stop complaing to poor AJ .. she doesnt control what goes on just reports downtown los angeles virtual office it.. the reason they choose those days and exclude certain resorts and rooms is to fill places and times that have less volume.. its all a numbers game.
I have to agree with those who say Disney doesn t owe it to anyone to provide downtown los angeles virtual office free dining. I understand that DVC members have seen their benefits decline over the years, but they do disclose that benefits are subject to change when you buy. AP members receive the benefit of being able to go to the parks most days of the year; you can end up paying less than the cost of a burger meal for admission if you go often.
We usually go the week following Thanksgiving downtown los angeles virtual office and I see that is not included. We will need to bump our trip one way or the other to catch free dining. Last year we had to stay at other than our usual resort to get it, but it wasn t really a problem and gave us a chance to experience new theming, pools, etc. I think that we should all keep an eye on our email though, because I did once receive a free dining pin code for what was a blacked out week in the free DP public offer. As with any business, its all about filling those rooms and moving those dollars.
Thank you for posting this! My wife found it and I was able to change our reservations this morning. We now have a free meal plan for our 4 night stay at the Contemporary this November. Saved us 324 dollars. Thank you and God Bless!
New Visa cardholder here. Is all I need the card number to modify my reservation? I didn t get an email from visa, I don t see anything on visas site or Disneys so I can t find any instructions to use this offer. This is the first place I ve seen it.
For all those stating Disney owes DVD members nothing, how about you pay 17,000 for nothing downtown los angeles virtual office and see how you like it. WE DESERVE SOME PERK FOR BUYING IN. WHY SHOULD YOU BE GIVEN FREE DINING FOR JUST COMING TO DISNEY WHEN WE PAID A HIGH PREMIUM AND CONTINUE TO PAY ANNUAL DUES TO BE A DVD MEMBER I GUESS WE PAY FOR YOUR FREE DINING MS SHAME ON YOU DISNEY!
We stayed at Port Orleans-French Quarter in November and they were not included in the Free Dining. Even if we changed the dates, this resort was not included. We had a great time anyway and it was worth every penny! Memories are priceless.
Im excited theyre going to be offering this deal again, I want to book my room through Davids DVC Rental, is anyone familiar with doing this? Does doing this affect me getting the dining plan at all? It says they still book all their reservations through Disney Central Reservations so I don t see a problem but I could be off.
I also got a double downtown los angeles virtual office whammy. Arriving on Nov. 2nd and staying at Port Orleans Riverside. Was really hoping for free dining. Any idea why they don t offer the first week of November? Of course I can t change my trip. Do they offer another deal (such as a room discount) downtown los angeles virtual office on the weeks we can t get free dining?
I am a California cast member coming downtown los angeles virtual office to the resort as a DVC member. My arrival dates and resort location are valid during the dates being offered for the free dining. Does anyone know if the are going to claim me ineligible because I am a cast member or a DVC member? I have guests coming with me who are neither and I believe we should be included downtown los angeles virtual office in this offer.
Also Id.like to know the perks and discounts non DVC members speak of that we get??!! What we do get are annual dues and for some a monthly payment much like a car payment oh and anywhere.from $17,000 on up so please she d some light onto what we get??? Other than. From what I see paying.for your free dining and discounted park.passes.greed you say no I think all of us are pretty downtown los angeles virtual office generous, so many perks were taken away which in turn gave us payments downtown los angeles virtual office annually and.nothing.more then a DVC TITLE SO.PLEASE know THE FACTS BEfore YOU STATE that we get perks.
Was so excited to see this posted last night. We have a trip planned for this fall and our dates fell within the offer. Called last night and had the free dining applied to our trip, saved us $1,000 for our family downtown los angeles virtual office of 4!!
Disney is holding their wine and dine event during November and there is a run disney event weekend the 8th, 9th and 10th. They know how many people will be coming for the runs, so why offer free dining as well? Not a smart business move.
I m not sure why people are saying that the Port Orleans and Floridian downtown los angeles virtual office are not included. I am a visa card holder and got the invite in my email yesterday. The only exclusion was a three-bedroom villa. However, my email also says we must stay six night,seven days.
I see that some people are very upset that they bought DVC or an AP and aren t getting free dining. I m sorry. Please don t shout at me or the others who are here to talk about dining. I didn t set the terms of your contract, I didn t read it, and I didn t sign it. You can sell your points or decline to renew your AP if you don t feel you are getting downtown los angeles virtual office good value.
The purpose of free dining is to fill rooms that otherwise downtown los angeles virtual office might be empty. That is why it is only available at select resorts and during limited times. downtown los angeles virtual office It is an inducement to those who would otherwise not spend to go to Disney, or who would take a shorter trip. It s the same as having a sale at a store. Disney is a business, no matter how much pixie dust they throw around. downtown los angeles virtual office If the free dining promotion downtown los angeles virtual office didn t bring in additional bodies, they wouldn t offer it. If enough DVC members downtown los angeles virtual office sell their stakes, or enough downtown los angeles virtual office AP holders refuse to renew and convey to Disney that it is because of the erosion of benefits then you might see a change. But so long as they can sell those timeshares and passes at the current terms, they will do so.
My issue is that my family is a family of 5. The most economical Disney property for 5 is Port Orleans Riverside, which is excluded. It is another example of how WDW caters downtown los angeles virtual office little to families that are larger than 4. I know of another family of 5 who was counting on the free dining, but due to restrictions will not be able to afford the Disney vacation. Very disappointing. Anyone have any suggestions?
@Ashley (and anyone else who s confused) I called Disney the other day to add the free dining to my res and was informed that neither of the Port Orleans resorts are included. I was confused at first as well because it doesn t say that anywhere in the email, but the info AJ posted about the excluded resorts is dead on. I was pretty bummed about it because downtown los angeles virtual office we have no plans of changing our resort, so now I m holding out hope for some kind of room discount! Hopefully they ll be back on the list eventually (especially if people start switching resorts just to get the dining!)
On that note, if anyone is staying in PO and think
