Free Dining Question.. Help!!

[colleenhunter07]

I have a question. My vacation dates are September 21st to the 29th. If FD is available up until September 24th, do I pay regular price for the rest of my trip? Or should I change my dates? I'm confused!!! Please Help..

There is no guarantee that free dining will be offered, but in the past the deal was that you would get free dining for up to ten days for your entire trip as long as your check in day was one of the dates of the free dining period. But don't change your plans until an announcement is made, because Disney has made it clear that they plan to ween people off free dining. And if they do offer free dining, they might change the terms from what is was in the past. You'll probably have to wait until they release their discounts for early fall which will probably be sometime in the summer.

So far in 2013, there hasn't been any free dining offered to the general public, even during periods like January and February, which had free dining in the past.

Just curious where you got September 24th from? I'm only wondering because I'm planning on September 25th - October 5th and am hoping for FD...so if I miss it by one day because I've missed something I'll be pretty bummed!

The dining plan ended on Thurs Oct 4 last year, we had planned on arriving the 5th. We decided to take our son out of school a few hours early and drive straight to Disney around 2:00. We arrived at 5:00AM on the 5th but had reservations for the 4th and enjoyed free dining all 9 nights.

Our bounceback offer was free dining for your period in 2013, so I would not give up hope yet. Unfortunately that offer did not come out last year until late May, so you will have to wait a bit longer.

That is the dates I saw for free dining. Although it's only a prediction. From what I've read on these boards Danny25 and Black562 are usually correct about the next discount. I LOVE FREE DINING!!!!
