2016 Free Dining Watch

[Confederate Scott]

Any new credible gossip on the Monday thing? I have a Disney planner who usually tells me about 1 to 2 days out about it. She hasn't spoken as of yet.

I think most everyone is hoping for an update from black562 or The Dirty Steve.

I get a kick out of the user name the dirty Steve. Makes me smile.

I wish the dis could stay running all of Sunday night instead of shutting down to update. That will be a nerve wracking time

I think they were available last Aug-Oct. I booked mine when I was there in September.

That must be why, we usually are the in the slower Nov or Dec dates.

My wife and daughter were in Disney last December and they did not have anything in the room about bounce back, but when they went to the front desk the CM told them it was available and gave them the pamphlet that is normally in the room. I think it is available in Nov. and Dec., but they may not advertise as freely as they do in Sept. and Oct.

What time does it shut down and for how long? I've never pulled a Dis-all-nighter.... but plan to Sunday!

We went last November and the bounce back offered was a typical room discount.

This board is slowly (err quickly) taking over my life. My Fitbit steps are severely lacking.

I'm experiencing "WDW nesting syndrome"!
Toward the end of each pregnancy I definitely had that strong "nesting" desire. The one where you ONLY want do things that relate to preparing for the new baby. Whether it was washing, folding and putting away baby clothes or making ahead meals for after delivery or cleaning out a closet... I HAD to do these prep activities. Anything else seemed a waste of time!
NOW..... I ONLY want to do things that relate to WDW planning! Keeping up with this thread, checking out the other sub-forums, reading online blogs, doing my Perk or Swagbucks (to earn $ for WDW) texting my BFF about WDW, watching DIS podcasts, jotting notes in my WDW 2016 notebook like "don't forget to.....", watching a Disney planning dvd for the 100th time.... It's like this trip is a baby on the way and our departure day is my "due date"!!!! This is crazy!! It's not like it's my 1st trip, for goodness sakes!!

Around 330 or 4 comes back up at 5

With roundtrip airfare from Bangor Maine at $250 per person (5 of us, DD, DD's friend, DGM, DGF....it was cheaper to stay an extra day....darn. So I guess I have to go with or without free dining....

I am really hoping for an update soon! I don't think I can handle another week of this!
Never thought about a bb because we haven't done back to back trips in awhile. But! Between this anxiety and the talk about them and my realization that next September is our 20th anniversary I am booking! If we can't go I'll cancel but otherwise we are going to do a child-less trip! Just have to convince my DH that it's a great idea haha

Next year is our tenth and I think we will do the same thing!

The bb is awesome!!! The problem is, you're booking it a year in advance and sometimes your travel dates change. I have the bb booked but my travel dates recently changed. I was unable to make that change without cancelling and losing my FD. That's why I'm hoping for FD for my dates.

We are in the same boat. We booked a BB for September but aren't able to go until October now. Such a huge bummer to have to cancel that reservation! We are hoping that some of October will be included in the FD dates but it isn't looking too promising since none of the rumors thus far have mentioned it (to the best of my knowledge anyway).

Can I ask when your sister is booked for? I'm booked in a 5 person POR room and it sounds like they're already booked doesn't give me much hope for free dining. I'm willing to change resorts to save money but need that Murphy bed... The family suites at all stars plus the dining upgrade AND increase ticket prices AND PH almost negate FD for us

We booked the free dining bounceback for June back in Aug. I had never seen the free dining bounce back include any dates in June before. We jumped on it and both my sister and I have rooms at POR. We are going June 4 -8, in just 43 days. By the way, the resort is booked solid for our dates.

Hi yall!

Sooooooooo what do we think is the percentage chance that Free Dining actually drops on Monday 4/25. I know we have heard the rumors... but has this 4/25 date actually been leaked from WDW? Or was this just someone's educated guess from analyzing previous years free dining offers? And are we certain that Disney is even going to offer Free Dining this year?

I'm just curious what everyone else's thoughts are on this subject.
