Free dining for fall of 2010?

[cuches]

We went to WDW and stayed at CSR Sept '09. We were able to get the free dining plan with TS and CS. LOVED IT! I want to go back to WDW this Oct ('10) and would love to get the free dining deal again. Anyone know when this offer will be made official? I assume they do this in the fall to increase business during a slow time but I am sure the deal is not offered for every resort. We are still up in the air when it comes to where we will stay. I'm leaning towards POP because it will be newly renovated (so I read somewhere else on the DISboards) or ASMo. I might stay at CSR again 'cause it was so gorgeous. But the free dining and discounted room rates will be the deal breaker.

Last year the free dining was announced at the end of March. I don't ever remember it going in to the beginning of October the way it did last year. It seems like other years it has been mid-August to mid-Sept.

Folks who have posted who received an email with Free Dining PIN have stated the dates were through Oct. 2, 2010. Of course, the fact that they received a Free Dining offer doesn't mean that one will definitely be released to the public, but I find it to be a hopeful sign! I would look for a very late March to early April release date for a public Free Dining code for Fall 2010. Until then we won't know exact dates offer is valid OR if it will be Quick Service DP for the Value Resorts and Regular Dining Plan for Mod's and Deluxe OR Regular DP for all resorts.

Free Dining usually is available at every resort but the number of room at each resort is limited. Say, they allot 200 rooms at a resort for free dining. Once those 200 rooms are booked, then there is no more FD at that resort. If you call to book your room soon after the offer is announced, you should have no trouble getting what/where you want.

We have done free dining for the past 4 years. I am kicking myself that I didnt book the bb when we were there instead of sweating it out. Rest assure I will book the bb next time I am there.

We are going in September regardless if free dining is available or not but it would be nice.
