Free dining..how long does it last?

[missnic07]

I was just wondering how long the offer will be on for? I was planning to book for the last 2 weeks of August next year, but now might be able to do the last week of August and the first week of September (which would be better as the crowds are much lower). But I wouldn't know until around mid/end of may time (this year), so I don't want to leave booking until then if the offer is only on for a couple of weeks and will be finished by the time I book.

The offer will be available for quite some time if previous years are anything to go by.

Last year the first offer (which was the best as it had free DDP, OKW/SSR discounts plus $200) ended late June (I want to say 22 June).

The offer came back later with no gift card and the finally with only the QSDP and $100 gift card.

We booked with free dining in June last year so if they follow the usual pattern, you'll be fine to book in May. The other option if you're concerned about it is to book it with the free dining when it comes out and if need be you can change your dates. We had to change our dates slightly this year and Disney are really good they don't charge an amendment fee or anything.

I thought someone said it was £50 to change dates unless your new dates were more expensive, then they don't charge you?
If not, that's good to know its free.

I believe it's only if its cheaper, we got charged once as it was cheaper but not the next time when it was the same, not sure if that was a one of when we did get charged it was £50
You can always ask when you inquire about a booking.

We're going to have to book when the deal comes out this year for next may and we will probably have to change the dates as we are not sure what country we will be living in!

I changed our dates slightly ( 2days) same price & we weren't charged the £50.

I think the earlier you book the better the deal, we booked OKW with DDP in Aug and only got 100 dollar gift card, if we'd booked earlier it would have been 200 dollars, later it was only QSDP.

Disney said to me in January this year that there's a £50 fee if your new dates cost less. Sorry if it was my post before that confused you.

Ah no, it's good to know because at least I'll query it if I need to change the dates
