I am glad you guys were able to add the FD from BB but it drives me nuts that the rules are never the same. Last day of our trip this past Sept I had to spend figuring out dates for next Sept in order to get the FB BB offer. If I had known I could just called/emailed after I got home to really plan the dates, I would have.
Too early. A couple years ago, free dining was offered starting mid August. Disney has tightened the dates and in 2013 I believe it didn't start until the very end of August/first part of September. I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.
UGH ! We are planning to go August 25th -29th and was hoping for free dining. Last time we went these dates they were offering it
I was told by our travel agent, that if FD is offered during the trip, even if it starts mid trip, the FD is available for the WHOLE trip. So while it looks sometimes like it's every other week, it really can be for the whole time.
If reservations increase and more rooms are filled then of course free dining will go away. Free dining is a perk to encourage bookings. If bookings increase there is no need to give away dining.Will this be the year when "free dining" as we know it ends? The meal prices are a bullet they've had loaded up for years that they are waiting for... If the economy continues to encourage people to charge up vacations (the mistakes of the past... Fueled by real estate)...then I think free dining is on it's last legs We'll see

So another question we are there for 9 days/8 nights is there a max of days?

Your travel agent is misinformed. In the past it has worked that if free dining starts before or on the first day of your trip that you would have it for your entire stay, up to 14 nights. If it starts part way through your stay, you would have to do a split stay and apply the free dining to your reservation after its start date and regular rates for the previous nights.

Which is why I tell everyone not to book ahead of time if they want free dining.
