dates of already offered Free DDP

[pinkerbell]

I copied this from another thread.. But what I am curious about and think I saw (but I have so many subscribed free dining threads I can't find it!) is WHEN was the bounceback offered for in the UK? I think I read it was for a longer period than the US?

anyone hav a history of the dates it was offered for???

Since I finally found where I saw this info. I thought I'd post it since there were a lot of views but no responses.. It was on mouse miser dot com..


We have been hearing rumors, that we since have substantiated, that Disney World will be releasing Magic Your Way package discounts to the general public on April 10, 2008. So, I know what you are asking yourself, will this be the free dining discount everyone is hoping for, or something completely different?

Since the Disney Dining Plan was introduced in 2005, Disney World has offered it for free as a “discount” during some parts of August and September each of the past three years. Here are the travel dates for the past free dining offer:

August 21 - October 4, 2005
August 13 - September 30, 2006
August 26 - September 22, 2007

Based on discounts released late last year for travel during 2008, which offered the dining plan for free, we believe Disney will release the free dining discount again in 2008. Here are the travel dates for those discounts:

UK Resident Free dining: August 10 - September 27, 2008
Bounceback offer for WDW guests: August 30 - September 27, 2008

While it is possible that Disney may release another discount, and not the free dining, we fully expect to see the free dining released on April 10 to the general public. Expect the following time line:

April 7, 2008 - Free dining to be released to Disney VISA cardholders
April 10, 2008 - Free dining to be released to the general public
August 30 - September 27, 2008 - Travel dates for free dining
