DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Nope!Haven't heard it. On our first trip to Russia in December 2010, I had a terrible head cold, which for me used to always turn into a sinus infection. I could feel my head getting ready to explode and didn't want to find a foreign clinic if I didn't have to. Our interpreter told me to get a bottle of vodka, and soak my socks and tshirt in it, then drink the rest of the bottle. She said I'd sweat all night and the vodka would draw the infection out of me. And drinking it would help me sleep. I'm no vodka fan, so I opted to visit a pharmacy and get some German herbal stuff (Russians are not believers in unnatural pharmaceutical products like we are). It actually worked. I'm guessing the vodka might have worked too if I'd tried it. The Russians love their vodka, that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Unhijack for a moment ... The Fort doesn't get free dining become we are the black sheep of Disney Resorts. We park our 'cheap' RV on an "cheap" site; cook our own food instead of paying Disney prices at their restaurants; we bring our own golf carts instead of playing the "reasonable" prices for a Disney cart; cheapskates like campers at The Fort don't deserve free dining. </Snarkasm> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Really, you would think they could be creative in some kind of offer. Maybe limit it to only 6 guests. The Fort is not the only Red Headed Step Child in WDW property is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Allowing 6 people to have free dining on a $70 a night site doesn't make good economic sense for Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also I think it's based on 4 people/ room not six. Maybe Jason can jump in and verify or dispute my thoughts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 At the hotels it's usually requires a 2 day ticket and most rooms can only hold 4 people with some exceptions of course. Personally while I would love to see the Fort have free dining I think it would cause more availability issues, and may have in the past if I recall correctly. There are rumors of people booking sites just to get magic bands and EMH. I would think they would try to book a site for 10 people and stay offsite. Availability might become even harder to get. Essentially though say a tent site goes for $70 at a certain point of the year and a room goes for $125 at the same time. Free dining for 4 people at the hotel vs 10 people at the sites would be a huge difference. And while it would be great if Disney could cap the number of free people at a site, they haven't been able to make magic bands open the comfort stations reliably yet. The chances of that happening are low. Also the families with more than say 6 who stay at the Fort simply to save money would be left out at least partially and would cry discrimination. I will also add that even free dining has exceptions. Typically the some of AOA are left out and sometimes Riverside. If a place is filling without it why offer it.

parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have always said, that they could offer free dining to every child per paying adult with dining plan for the campsites. 2 adults, 3 children, than two children would get the free dining plan, 4 adults, 3 children, than three children get the dining plan etc etc. Than you can still use you 10 person limit and Disney would still be making their money. If anything it may not be a lot but it would be something and actually maybe more people would buy the dining plan while using the campsites. Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
