Just got my All Ears weekly email and it mentions a pilot program that will let people staying at certain resorts in Nov/Dec book a future stay at a discounted rate.... and the discounted trip would be right at the time (Aug 5-Sept 29) we've seen the free DDP the past two years. I'd have to guess that this is a way to book people in with less of a discount than free dining? It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.......
