Previous Free Dining Dates

[christa112]

Anyone out there know what the previous Free Dining dates were? 2007 & 2008. I am specifically looking for the extended dates they offered in 2008. the original date in Sept ended I believe on the 20th.

TIA

There was FD for Disney Visa holders for checkins up until December 23rd...

That said, based on the huge economic issues this year's offers will be VERY different than previous years. Look back at 2003 when they came out with the 4/3 deal. I don't think that was offered again until now...

Thanks!!! I am thinking they will be offering the Free Counter Service Plan this year and then upgrading.

Interesting is that so far, those pin offers and bounceback offers with FD, have been for basic dining plan, which is more than the QS.

Bounceback offer for Free Dining in 2009 is from Aug 23-October 8, had to be resort guest and book by October 24, 2008.

Free Dining for 2008 was Aug 19-Sept 22. (Bounceback offer for 2007 had slightly longer dates.)

UK Free DIning has different dates than USA offer, with their promos beginning earlier in August. (I also believe they have resort restrictions too.)

The Free Dining offer for Disney Visa cardholders was pretty date specific with a lot of blockouts. Some Oct/Nov/Dec dates. They did two offers with the first set of dates having fewer blockouts.

Free dining for 2008 was released on April 9 for DV cardholders, and April 11 for general public bookings. When booking with the Disney Visa the deposit is due immediately; there are no holds.

No idea, or guess, for what they will do for 2009. Bounceback offers in the room have the Great Times To Visit as August 23 - October 3. No free dining in the rooms with current bounceback.
