Are you waiting for free dining?

[fuji]

I want to know if I am the only one wishing and hoping and praying for free dining. I am hoping that free dining is announced for dates that I can work with.
Are there any speculations as to when they will offer it ( early April as usual) and what the dates will be? Or maybe your hopes of what the dates will be.
I am hoing for Aug. 20th or there abouts, how about you?

 

[eyeheartgoofy]

I think the speculation is that free dining will start Aug 16th this year - the 4 for 7 ends on August 15th.

I'm guessing that the offer will be the same as in previous years and will come out in early April. I'm hoping I can get it at Pop for the week leading into Labor Day.

I too am waiting with great anticipation for the free dining plan to be released. I will start paying close attention after March 29th when the 4/3 deal ends. We are hoping to get the POP century for 9/12-9/20 or maybe add a couple days to that if we determine it is financially viable. I'm certain that we are not alone in our nail biting anticipation.

When is Labor day??....sorry I'm from the UK...

This year it is Sept. 7th. It always falls on the first Monday of September.

No. I'm not waiting. My trip is booked and paid off. I don't mind paying for dining since I'll be at Disney!

Hi! I'm also hoping to be there August 23-29 with free dining. I have the pin just waiting for tax return info. We would be at POR.

I don't know if anyone can help but I have a posting question. For some reason I don't have the post reply option. I have to switch between threaded mode and linear mode to post replies. Can anyone help?

We are booked at POFQ 9/14/09 to 9/24/09 at 40% off. We are planning on switching to a value resort for the first 4 or 5 days if FD is offered. It makes sense financially for us only at a value but I'm not willing to give up my entire stay at POFQ.

We did FD in 2005 and 2006 and loved it.

I'm waiting too! We went last year and had a bounceback offer, but didn't book it for various reasons. Now, we've decided to go back and I am so mad at myself for not booking then! I get so stressed out waiting for this, even though i know it will likely be offered. I just don't want to miss out! This will be our 3rd time to go for free dining and we love it!

How are the crowds during free dining? Is it really that hot?

 

[jrdoa]

We've used the free dining plan in the past and it was GREAT! I'm hoping & curious to see with all of the deals Disney is throwing out there, if they would sweeten the deals in late August - September with the free dining + possibly more. Doubt it, but that would be great.

 

[tipsytrtle]

we're waiting too!!!

 

[zuzu310]

We're waiting here in cold Ohio! Hoping for Disney Visa free dining (complete with TS meals) so I can get away with my SIL.

 

[RMulieri]

My guess is it will be starting 8/23 and ending about 9/24 ,different start and finish dates from the bounceback from last year and the pincode.

 

[fuji]

I also have a Disney Visa and hope to book as soon as it is announced

 

[Bete]

for December free dining. We took advantage of it last year for November, but I want December this year. If I don't get it we can't go. I'm really depending on it.

I'll be having a much longer wait then all of you going in August and September. I know it was only offered once last year for certain special months and dates, but I want it real bad this year.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Bete, I am with you in wanting Free Dining in December. I am booked in the first week with the 40% code but I want MORE! I understand that last year some folks got a room discount in addition to the FD.

Maybe us two Hoosiers will meet there this year and with the best of deals?

Do you have to book a minimum number of days to get free dining?
