Am I crazy?

[disneymom0811]

Just got back a few weeks ago from a trip with friends. They decided to take us and it was great, had such a great time.

Now, I go to the mailbox to see a disney brochure with an incentive of FREE DINING when I purchase a 6 night/7 day trip. However, we have to use it by December.

Being a disney nut, I would have no problem going back!!!!!!!!! I know we just returned but we have never received a free dining option before. Is this offered frequently? I feel like a good deal should at least be considered right? If I need to budget and save every penny, I'll do my best but before I go crazy convincing the hubby to try and swing it.

Is this a good deal? Am I crazy to try and go again so soon? Not crazy?

Thoughts anyone? Thanks so much!

Not crazy

They tend to offer Free Dining often though. It's become normal. We are going in December and have free dining with our trip as well

Absolutely you should convince hubby to go again

Free dining is offered pretty frequently, but if you have a larger family it can be a good deal. You would want to see if the savings outweigh a room only discount.

I wouldn't go just for free dining, it will happen again, but it can be a good savings for large groups.

First, OP, when I finished a cruise with a certain cruise line, I got bombarded with calls for tempting prices on future cruises. I was all excited about the great time I had had, and I almost booked again. Then I came to my senses and realized I wasn't thinking of all the associated costs of another cruise, including side trips, drinks, travel, fees. In the end, I declined.

Now it seems Disney has sent you something enticing. In actuality, Disney has Free Dining offers regularly in slower periods. Nov-Dec is one of those times. Free Dining requires you to pay full price for the room, and you have to buy minimum 2-day tickets for each person. You are not required to stay 6 nights. That is just a sample vacation for ad purposes. In actuality, you are only required to spend 3 nites to qualify for a FD offer.

If you realize FD is something Disney offers every year lately, and multiple times a year, I hope you won't jump on that particular offer. It's expensive to go to WDW, and you're better off to actually plan a trip, at your preferred time of year. There are discount Disney offers throughout a year's time that give you a percent off the room, or extra tickets, or discount pricing on dining, any of which may actually be a better deal than FD. You need to run the numbers, based on your needs, to plan a Disney vacation right.
