Winter Dining Package Question

[MarinaAndCharlie]

Hi there -

So I just saw that theyre doing a free dining deal again for October through early December. It says the offer runs through 12/17. We are arriving on 12/16. Would we be able to book our package with this or would our entire vacation need to fall within the offer dates? Thanks!

You must have a Disney Visa to get this one. I can't say for sure about the dates. The regular fall free dining has required that you check in before the last day and then the promotion is good for a max of 14 nights. They have had promos that require you to finish your stay by the last date of the offer.

No, you don't have to have Disney Visa any more. They released the general public free dining this morning.

To answer your question directly, you should be able to get free dining for your entire stay if you check in on a day included in the promotion. However, you will be overlapping "seasons", so your room rate, calculated without any discounts, will change over the course of your trip.

Awesome! That's great news!

So to do a price check, I should just put in the different selections for my package and not include the DDP, just to see how much it will be?

Also, this resort hotel discount (28%+), is that already being reflected in the prices when you book on disneyworld.com? Can that be mixed with the free dining offer?

Thanks again! :lovestruc

Sorry; I gave you the room-only discount! Here's the link to free dining:

The free dining does not include the room discount. Price out both and see which one works better for you.

Oh so you can only get either the Free Dining or the room discount. Not both?

Right. You cannot stack discounts. But some people have been able to get a room-only discount and pay for tickets & dining, and came out better than FD.
