When is free dining being offered?

[mickeysgirl17]

I heard about the promotion regarding the free dining where if you stayed in a disney resort, you could book your trip w/ free dining in September. I was actually there (In pop century) when this was being offered and I missed the opportunity to book. Do you know if Disney will offer to everyone and if they are allowing people to book now?:sad2:

It has not been offered to the public yet (other than UK residents) and doesn't look likely at this point... just MHO.

We don't know if Disney is offering 'free dining' yet. Last year it was offered from Apr-Jun. It had to be used from Aug 13 to Sept 30. I believe some that booked late Sept and went into the first of Oct were honored.

From the Dining Plan FAQ (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1305783):The free dining promotion requires guests to book a Disney MYW package, paying for the hotel at the rack rate, and in return offers the Dining Plan as a free add-on to the package. For the UK/European residents offer, the free dining promotion had to be booked between August 25 and November 6, 2006. The free dining promotion has also been offered to guests while on-site at WDW if staying at Disney resort hotels during December 2006. The free dining promotion applies for arrivals starting August 5 (for the bounce-back offer) or August 12 (for the UK/European offer), through September 29, 2007. There is no indication, one way or another, whether free dining will be offered to other targeted groups and/or to the general public.
