Curious about U.K.'s free dining offer?

So I live in the U.S. but out of curiosity I checked out WDW's site for UK residents and saw Disney's special offers for them...
This is one of the special offers on the WDW UK site:

Dine for FREE!
For stays 5 Jul - 18 Nov 2010
Book your magical Walt Disney World holiday before 2 August 2010, for stays 5 Jul - 18 Nov 2010, and you’ll enjoy FREE Disney dining. Make your booking for a minimum of 5 nights including tickets, and everyone in the party dines for free for your whole holiday.
Receive Disney Quick (Counter) Service Dining Plan when you stay at a selected Disney Moderate Resort, OR Receive Disney Dining Plan when you stay at a selected Disney Deluxe Resort.

With all the speculation about free dining I thought it was interesting how Disney offered the QSDP to Moderate resort guests and the basic DDP to Deluxe resort guests. Not sure if this is an indication free dining might come out in the U.S. or not... but what about the value resort guests? I didn't see a free dining offer on the UK site for value resort guests. By the way you can navigate to the UK site by selecting the international site from the WaltDisneyWorld.com main page. It was neat to see how Disney markets WDW to the Brits... the pictures and information are presented differently.

That offer has been available to them for quite a few months. I sent an Email to guest communications about it and got a phone call back. They said, basically, the offer is only for European guests and the marketing department decides on the offers. Fair or not, its not for us and we need to wait our turn!

I have even read that European guests also have an offer for 2011..apparently theyn like to plan father ahead than US guests!

Yeah I'm sure with travel expense it is a big trip for Europeans. The planners on the Disboards certainly love to plan far in advance too. I'm already daydreaming about a 2011 trip (sigh).
