August / September - But only w/ free dining...

[zaja]

Just wondering how many of you will go in August / September - ONLY if they offer the free dining again. My family's planning on going then no matter what, (due to DH work schedule). I know that we won't stay on Disney property if there's no free dining though. Just curious what everyone else is thinking.

I went last year and my sister so wanted to go. I told her I would go again this year if they do free dining. If they don't I just can't afford to go. I am SO crossing my fingers that they do!!!!

Most likely we will go in Sept. 2007 only if they offer free dining. Otherwise we'll be aiming for January 2008.

We already booked our trip for September of 07 we ar hoping they will offer free dining it would be nice to save that money but if they don't it's Disney so we will have a great time anyway!!

We will go if the free dining is offered...probably the week of 8/13, before my kids go back to school.

EXACT ditto! We even know where we'll stay off-prop if they dont have it - but going in Aug. no matter what.

We're going and staying onsite no matter what.

Aug/Sept is a time that we can never go to Disney. My sons start football the begining of Aug as does my husband, he coaches football though, not plays.

We couldn't get free dining anyway, as we are DVC members and DDP is not tied to a room stay or ticket purchase.

Well, you could get free dining, but you'd have to pay for your room. <shudder>

We have reservations for August 18-25th for the Poly. We did the same week last summer at the Poly with free dining and absolutely loved it. We will still go without free dining but will definately not have as many sitdown meals and will order more groceries for the room like we used to before the free dining. My parents said that if there is free dining they will come again but they are waiting to see. I really hope they do because it was great having help with my 3 kids!

I'm at Disney now and have signed up for the free dinning in August with the bounce back deal. My kids are getting to big for all of us to be in one value room, so we've booked one room to get us the "free" dinning and will be using our DVC points for a studio to get us a second room so we can sleep in comfort (two in one room/two in the second). OKW is only 10 points per night for studio Sunto Thur night so it's a bargan for us not to have to get a two bedroom. We're really looking forward to the dinning as I usually cook in our villa.

Count us in, we are making plans but if they don't offer free dining we are still going but not getting on the dining plan and just have a couple of table service meals planned and eat counter services.

My DW and I are going in September. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary and made reservations before we even heard of free dining. If the free dining is offered we will just consider it an anniversary present but it will not stop us from going if it is not offered.

If they offer the free dining in August we will certainly be there. If they don't, we might be in Aruba which isn't a bad plan either!

 

[penjen]

If there is free dining we plan on being there for DS's last year before school (Mid-Sept). If not I am starting to plan a vacation elsewhere.

 

[WAHMto5]

We are planning on the last week in September either way. We figure if they add it, that will be extra spending money for the trip

 

[jandlsnorks]

We had an amazing time on our free dining trip in Sept. 2006 (we got engaged!). We'd love to go again in Sept. 2007, but most likely only if free dining is offered. Since we spent the majority of the days in the disney parks on our last trip, we'd like to try universal for 1-2 days, epcot 1 day, and possibly sea world 1 day, but we'd love to still take advantage of the dining plan.

I'd like to go again if they offer free dining even if it's a shorter trip like 4 days. We really had a good time this year during the promo

Unfortunately, w/o free dining I will never talk my H into going for a fourth year in a row. I hope they will offer it again. I am already going through withdrawl symptoms.

Does anyone know the exact dates that the free DDP is being offered this year to the bounce back guests? I am hoping it will be the same time period for everyone else in the future.
