Run right now if you want them- details on the website, and you can book with the discount online even!

Don't believe the dates though- there is a mistake. It actually runs through December 17th.

I am so excited! :bighand:

I was stalking the disboards all morning hoping for the room only discount ~ was on the phone at 7:05 and amazingly got right through to a CM and changed the ressie. Yippee!!!!

We had a FD pin that we booked with but FD doesn't really work for us since we do appetizers and no desserts so we end up paying OOP for those anyway. And my IL's are going to be coming with us and want to pay for some special meals for the boys so this will work out WAY better in the long run :)

Mousesavers.com has them up now ~ current specials are listed in the yellow box on the right-hand side

You can also find them on the WDW site, just click on the special offers tab up on the right side

I have to say that all these codes confuse the bejeebers out of me.

I swear these same deals were there over the weekend weren't they?

Yeah, last week the AP rates were out, and the Disney Visa free dining. These are both really similar- the free dining is actually identical- but now they are for the general public as opposed to just those select groups.

Can you put in codes on the website or do you have to book through an agent? Also does anyone know if you can get the dining plan without buying the park hopper tickets? We are military so we plan to buy our tickets through the ITR office because we get them much cheaper.

I don't know a ton about the military deals, but I know I read a post from someone on disboards about saving some money doing the free dining, and she ended up with an extra day on her tickets. The thing is, free dining is a package, so you have to buy the tix through Disney, but overall, it's cheaper. They do NOT have to be park hoppers. Also- I'm guessing you have heard about Shades of Green, but if not, look into that too.

Normally, you can not book special offers online b/c there is nowhere to put in the code, however this offer has a link you can click on, and it automatically applies the code for you.

I'd figure out what you'd spend if you did things seperately and bought your tix through the ITR office (remembering that you could not get the dining plan) and what you'd spend if you went through Disney.

Just updating this in case anyone reads this and is wondering. I called Disney reservations last night and you can book the dining plan without buying the park tickets. You just have to call to do it. Also if anyone is military and shades of green is booked for the time you plan to go you can still call disney reservations and get a discount on other Disney lodging.

Maybe that's a special military thing? Everything I have ever heard/read/been told contradicts that.

I saw this about the military on Mousesavers, so I'm pretty sure she's correct. It may not be well advertised.

That is really cool- I would NOT want to miss out on those tickets! I found this on disboards, and it has a little more info about adding options, just in case that helps.
