Free Dining 2017?

[KStarfish82]

Have the dates come out for free dining in 2017 yet?

No and they won't until sometime between about late March and early May.

That is, IF, they offer free dining at all.

Now there was a "one free QS meal" offer for part of the summer this year, but I wouldn't do that one unless there was no other discount out there.

There's a bounceback offer right now for free dining next year, so hopefully that means it's released to the public in the spring.

We were there the first week of October. The dates on the bounceback offer were VERY limited. Do you know if the public release usually follows with the same dates as bounceback?

Not necessarily. The free dining release in late spring is directly correlated to the bookings at that time. If resorts are fairly full, there won't be any free dining. If some resorts need some help, they will probably be free dining for those select resorts. It has been more limited with each year's passing.

Does anyone know, if there is free dining offered next year, what the up charge would be to go from the Disney Dining Plan to the Deluxe Dining Plan?

Thanks
