In the past the free dining was the last 2 weeks in August and now it doesn't start until September 2. Anyone know why?

I don't really believe it has anything to do with bookings.The trip I had planned for August 2011 was booked in August 2010. A week later, an unprecedented 'free dining' package deal was announced a whole year in advance. Here it is from Mousesavers.com:
8/19/11-9/29/11(STAY)
package deal (free dining) for general public
Offered-8/16/10, exp 12/20/10
So they knew a year in advance bookings were down? There has to be another reasson why. As for the PP about economy tanking in 2008...I think we're still there:

I read that the free dining is for Visa Holders - are they still predicting the release of free dining for others on the 9th?

It used to only be in Sept, but when the economy tanked back in 2008, they expanded the dates. Maybe they don't need to offer it because jobless rate is down and stock market is up??
