Free Dining in March/April?

[torsie24]

Morning Everyone.

More wedding planning going on at this end.

Is free dining ever offered for trips taken End of March/Start of April? If so when can you book for it?

We won't be able to take advantage as we get free APs with our wedding and are staying DVC, but it would help our guests out. I don't want to mention the word 'free' is there isn't a chance they could get it though.

And I preferably want people booked by October time.

No they don't offer DDP at that time of year, usually from early August but they have just extended from early July for this year, thats earliest its been offered.

Do they do the free dinning offer every year???

Do you think they will have it for aug 2011, when does this offer usually come out?

Been offered for last few years. Each year they seem to extend the dates its available and offer it earlier and earlier. This years offer was announced 3rd August last year, then a few week ago they extended it to include most of July.
Next year? can't be sure but I see no major upturn in the economy on either side of the Atlantic so my guess is free dining again, its the only way they will get the high numbers to stay onsite, like myself. No way would I be staying onsite without free DDP.
I do worry for many local offsite restaurants, Disney are taking a lot of trade from them with free DDP. This August I would put about $2500-3000 into the local economy without free DDP, same last August, thats just 1 family.

Re. the OPs question, are they not still running the free gift card promotion over that period? That could work out near as good as FD. You obviousy score more the fewer people you have in each room as the gift card is per room

Hey torsie Maybe if people waited till January they might get a giftcard deal? if it will still be going on?
