Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted December 5, 2014 Author 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. You make some valid points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 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,NormInteresting thought Norm.

Littleolwoman.aka.Kristie 119 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Oh mercy that looks yummy. After drinking that they might be calling management about a crazy drunk lady. Mixed drinks are my downfall. They just taste so good you tend to forget how many you have had.

Best Regards,NormFrom what I have been told and Lou can probably verify, the free DDP is paid for by each Resort, it comes out of each individual operating budget. So if the FORT offered the DP free they would be in a negative cash flow for each site that used it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
