When does free dining end? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Heidijs · 11-24-2009, 09:58 AM

I want to make sure I'm not getting jipped. We bought the regular dining plan for the end of Jan/Feb trip...I keep seeing people are getting the free dining plan...when is that ending? I was hoping to go during a non-busy time since there was no free dining offered when I booked the trip...

The free dining ends on Dec 17th.As long as guests check in by the last date of free dining they are eligible for their trip up to 14 days. So there will be free diners thru the end of 2009.There is no Free Dining offer in Jan and Feb, but there is the 4/3 promotion which also adds to park traffic

Nobody's getting the free dining plan for Jan/Feb, it hasn't been offered for those dates. In fact, it has never been offered for those dates.

Also, you had to have your trip booked before September 27 to get the Oct/Dec free dining.

So basically you either get free dining or the 4/3 and it probably comes out to be pretty close. I know I accidentally tried getting quotes without going through the 4/3 deal on their website and when I got the total I was like, WHAT???? It wasn't booking the 4/3 deal because I didn't go to that link. When I went and redid it, it was like $700 cheaper or something like that....this was when the 4/3 deal just came out this fall though so maybe now you can't book the regular way. I know other people have said, why is this coming out to be so much? Then they were told to click on the 4/3 deal and they got a better quote. Kinda shadey...

This is really strange cause I had read in here that they were going to quit the free dining plan, so when we were at the Polynesian two weeks ago, I asked the ones checking us in if it was true that they were getting rid of it and they said that they hadn't heard anything.
