2016 Free Dining Watch

[kellyjeanie]

I just checked for the week starting the 26th and no preferred at CBR - but there are standard available.

But is doesn't specify the dates the resort was booked for just that "within the last 24 hours it's been booked X amount of times"..

True. If you spread that out, it is not SO bad.

Wait are we thinking DV will get first crack at it this go round... why would Disney not allow it last year but add it back this year... I'm hoping for general public but hey I will take DV getting a jump start just so we know ALREADY

They have in the past not had a special release for DV and then the next year switched it up. There was n DV release in 2013, I know.

I'm not seeing anything now so I'm guessing it's not going to be midnight tonight! Are the next two times to check at 4:30 and at 7:00?

 

[SunnieRN]

No new offers so far. I guess I'm going to watch a property brothers episode and then check back!!!

LOL heck you gotta include all the people making last minute decisions and booking for a trip that's 2 weeks from now to 2 months from now. I had a slight heart attack when I saw those listings but then I figured it doesn't mean it's during my stay....so those little "fun facts" (I guess we can call them) don't bug me so bad.

Yup. Nothing. I'm headed to bed. I can't function without sleep. I am hoping if it is tonight, it will be a DV release so I chat do anything til morning anyway.

4:30 was random and not a typical release time according to the hoards of people reporting last year at how surprised they were. 7:00 is of course when the phone lines open, but as others have reiterated, Disney can do and will do whatever they choose at whatever date and time. They keep us on edge at all times

This brings back so many memories of last year. I was online all night refreshing my screen and fell asleep shortly after 2:00 MDT (4:00 EDT). Around 2:25 I woke up again in a panic because I had fallen asleep and low and behold, there it was. I was freaked out and about gave my husband a heart attack because I screamed out "it's live"!. I would sooooo like to avoid an all-nighter again this year......especially because October isn't even mentioned in any of the rumored dates

The same thing kind of happened between me and my husband lol. I was so sleepy and kept refreshing my kindle and I was thinking about going to sleep just for an hour. Then I refreshed and I saw it and I shot straight out of bed..kind of jolting him. He woke up in sheer panic
I almost scared myself by how fast I reacted to seeing it lol.

 

[KearneyFam02]

I just checked CBR because everyone started scaring me with "no availability" and all room categories were available. Same for POR.
What are your dates.
We're going 12/16 - 12/23

We are going 12/16-12/22!

What time has it gone online in the past?

 

[kdisser]

What time does the DV line open for those members to call and see about FD being offered.. I can't imagine they be open 24/7? But then again...

 

[Just Love Disney]

Black, Steve, Smitch ~ any more info coming up from the underground? Can we sleep tonight or is it not wise? Please throw us a bone if you can, pretty please

 

[SunnieRN]

My dates CBR is still showing both standard and preferred rooms, but that $60 jump per night to preferred is starting to gnaw at me. But then I think about my granny legs lol. But, for $420 they might have more motivation to walk more limited o.

 

[margievis]

And what is the phone number for Disney visa holders to call? Is it different?

 

[Just Love Disney]

I have no idea but others posted that is was usual for it to go live at such a random time. We had been lucky enough to have a pin in previous years and were able to avoid this up until last year.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it has been posted in here several time that the time for DV is 7:00 just like normal hours for Disney reservations.

 

[SunnieRN]

That's my understanding also.

AHH so honestly if it goes DV first we wont know til then...right..? Because from what I have gathered they might/might not get notification.
