Does a Disney Visa Debit card work for this deal as well?
Where do I go to book this offer? It’s not listed under the special offers on the Disney World website.
Brittney, try calling 407-WDISNEY!
Do you get on with free dining plan pen one peen person? AND you only have to pay the deposit with the card or everything?
Caitlin, Disney’s official language only specifies the deposit needs to be paid with the Visa card. And yes, you’ll get free dining for each person on the reservation (minus kiddos under 3).
Do you think they will be adding on the time in Nov & December this year?
Sandi, we never say never… but we haven’t heard anything to this effect.
I just booked the boardwalk hotel for 8/13 – 8/17 and was wondering if I qualify for the free dining plan?
Andrea, Free Dining had to be booked back in February.
Can DVC members enjoy the free dinning plans? If not why not, if yes that’s fantastic.?
Hello, I have been on hold for an open line connections since 7:30AM EST for over 1 hour and 20 minutes now after being told by a recording that wait time is long or an hour.OK, I know you are all real busy because of the Free dining plan, which our reservation starting on Sept. 3, 2019 at the Polynesian, fits your requirements perfectly BUT how much longer must I wait to get a human being on the phone to confirm this Free offer will work for my wife and I as we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with you in September.Thanks.
Can DVC members also get this promotion? I just got back from disney 2 weeks ago and bought my dining plan using my disney Visa. Hmmm….
Has anyone heard anything about this being offered for August 2020?
Jessica, we’ll update if Disney decides to offer a second round of Free Dining in 2020!
