Jen, that’s a good thought. There’s no telling to what they might do, but I am sure you are right that your odds are better with a Sunday-Thursday check in…
Dave,
After really looking at the past year of free dining dates offered , I was wondering if you think I may be more likely to get free dining if I move my plans to arrive on 01/10/13 instead of 01/11/13. It just seems that they offer more free dining on check in dates from Sunday to Thursday and I originally thought I would check in on Friday? What do you think? Free dining is such a great deal that I would hate to miss out on it!
Jen ….again 🙂
Hi Jen and thanks!
I don’t think WDW cares much about whether you change things around…I’d pick 1/11 as your arrival, as there may be a little Xmas holidays crowding left on 1/4 and 1/5…prices should be similar…the Destinations folk should track and let you know if a discount comes out, but if you check this every now and then you can double check yourself: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2010/03/29/walt-disney-worlds-latest-spring-and-summer-deal/
Hi Megan and thanks!
The best way to do this is to pay just the deposit, and book room only.
That gives you the most flexibility for changing to the discount if it comes out and is offered for your hotel, length of stay, and arrival date. Another way to do it to ease a bit of the burden is to book through a travel agent–instructing them of your hopes, and having them swap you to any emergiing discounts.
