I am pretty sure bookings for September are low as of now. If I go on and look, there are rooms available in almost all categories at most resorts. Also, when I booked dining, it was the easiest I have booked in years. I am still adjusting times and rebooking with pretty wide open availability. I think what he's saying is if everyone starts booking now in hopes of free dining, it will be less likely Disney will release early, because rooms are filling. I don't think people quite get that booking a certain room does not mean that room will be available for free dining, so there really is no benefit. Especially this year since dining seems to be easy at 180 to do day by day. I am anxiously awaiting this with all of you, and I'm not even booking free dining this year. I got so caught up in it the past few years, I'd feel like I was missing out.
