I just left it at that. I guess I will further investigate once we get to Disney and at the resort. I plan on printing off a copy of the information and taking it with me. I've realized you need to make copies of EVERYTHING! I've already been duped on my free 5x7 Photopass picture because somebody screwed up my reservation apparently.

Anyway...we will make the most of it and have a GREAT first Disney Family Trip!

I think this promotion is for guests with Free Dining only, but I'm not positive.

Re: FREE Mesh Bag w/ Dining Plan???

Where exactly did you read that? Can you post a link.

In your quote it says "deluxe dining plan credits"
I know that when I am on the deluxe plan, I will not be happy with some silly bag of any kind. I bought the deluxe plan because I wanted to eat at signature restaurants and sit down for breakfast every morning...

You need to step back and relax. No one "duped" you. I have never heard such a thing. With your travel packet you will get a few coupons good at a restaurant and other things. It is expensive to travel and stay with Disney, but no one is out to get you

Maybe it's just me but I wouldn't sweat the picture. I know you should have gotten it if you booked online (but not if you booked on the phone from what I understand) but if it doesn't work out I hope you don't let it ruin your vacation. After all, it's just a picture.

Is the information you're printing off about exchanging the credits on the official Disney site? I've looked and can't find it there.

Believe me...I'm over the picture. I pre-ordered my PhotoPass CD and will make the most of that!

I found the posting on MouseSavers and Wdwinfo.com. The AOL message boards, Passporter, Intercot and DIS boards have several people talking about it too. It's my understanding that you can be on any of the free dining plans, which I am on the Deluxe. The package had to be booked prior to the June 22 closing date for the free dining promotion.

The reason I'm considering doing the trade is because I have all my ADR's made and have 3 left over credits X 4 people in my family. If I can utilize the credits and get a freebie to boot, why not. Otherwise, I probably won't use the credits. I figured that if you add up all the meals we are getting it would be WAY OVER the price we paid to upgrade to the deluxe dining. It cost us just under $2000 for the entire 6 day 7 night trip and that includes airfare! My hubbie had enough frequent flyer miles to get 4 free tickets (I'm not that upset about the free 5X7 photo if you know what I mean...).

Now I only hope that Tropical Storm Gustav stays away!
