Look at the reservation board for BOG ! Disney by NOT putting them in the system the past few days are creating what I call the " want factor".
If your not there when they decide to release the dates, zip their gone !

I am booking my ADRs regardless. Just waiting for march 7 that's 180 days ahead for me.

I am paying for the dining plan, if it isn't free, so I too will book my ADRs on my 180 day mark. If you are planning on less ADRs or no ADRs, if free dining is not released, then you can book extra for now and cancel once the offer is released.

I have never used the DDP before. We are waiting and hoping for FD for our trip on Sept. 28th-Oct.5th 2013. I keep checking on their website to see any new offers. The current offer says it ends March 7th. Does that mean a new offer will be announced soon?....Maybe FD? I really hope they offer FD for our dates

The new offer should come out shortly after the current offer expires, later that week or the next. Hoping for FD in the fall.

Not sure if this will happen. The current offer only ends partially on March 7th (for travel dates February 18th through March 23rd). It completely ends March 31st (until then you can book the offer for travel dates April 2nd through June 14th).
I would expect a new offer to come out beginning of April...

This is maybe a silly ? but I am planning on paying for DDP if it isn't offered as free, so I am planning to make my ADRs at the 180 day mark. How difficult is it to change everything to FREE DDP if it does become avail?

If your resort has availability under the promo and you already have a Package booked easy peasy just call

All you would do is call Disney reservations and have them add the code to your existing reservation.

There would be no need to change the actual dining reservations that you have if you have the same dining plan. The update would be required to your resort, dining, park ticket reservation to change it to a FD package.

Thanks everyone! Here's hoping if we do get FD there is still plenty of availability at my resort to just rebook! It took us almost a week to decide on which resort!

You would NOT rebook. You would simply call and have the code added to your existing reservation. Even if you changed resorts you still would not rebook your packages. They will simply apply the code, credit you the difference and everything stays the same.

Actually it is modified if there is availability for the resort/room catagony you currently have booked. If not you may have to change resorts or change to another type of room. Example you are now booked in a Standard Room and only Preferred is available for FD offer. Also if new ticket prices have gone into effect the cost of your tickets will increase. Your reservation # will remain the same.
