Interesting twist. I had told some that if free dining was offered next year I bet it would only be for the counter service plan.

Where's TERESA!!!!

I'm here (very drunk) but i can't book until it's announced for US guests as i already have my park passes.

I'm hoping to get quick dining free at Value and upgrade to full but if not we will have to stay at POR and upgrade to full.

Will you be doing moderate with us?

[Beccaberry]

Johnie, do you think this foreshadows anything in regards to the bounceback offers for the US? Or do you think they are completely unrelated?

[Keith]

hmmmm is the halloween party on as early as the 3rd? I'd be kinda tempted if I could combine a stay with the party

[Dizneyblonde]

When the US free dining was announced this year it was available at Value but that was before Quick dining was introduced.

I still think staying at Moderate will be worth it though if we upgrade and choose our ADR's carefully!!!

[Beccaberry]

I'd love to stay at a moderate, where are you thinking, T? PoR?

[Wendy]

Thanks for the info Johnie.

I like the idea of the two different levels for Mod and Deluxe. It will hopefully mean that places like Le Celier won't be as busy

I don't see the point of it if they are going to let people upgrade to the standard package though Obviously they think they are going to make more money that way

If it's like this year Keith then MNSSHP will start on or around 3rd October

[Dizneyblonde]

Yes Becca if we have to do moderate it will be POR.

I'd really like to stay there but the kids want to do POP as it's more Disney.

Wendy if we are paying does it really matter where we are staying and what plan we get?

I could stay at a value and pay for Deluxe.It is a chance for me and the kids to do something i couldn't afford to pay for if i was doing it all OOP.

Makes sense, though. Higher end resort, higher value dining plan.
