free dining yearly?

[pierresgirl]

Is the dining plan offered free typically every year? We paid for it last March but would like to take advantage of it next year if possible.

The free dinning was offered in 05 and 06 for mid August through mid September, I believe. They offered it in the begining of April.
They did offer it to folks staying there in nov and dec of 06 but they had to book before they went home and also to the UK.
No word as to weather it will be offered to the rest of us as of yet.
Lots of people praying for it (myself included) but no offical word as of today.
Hope that helps you alittle.

This is the first year they've offered it substantially early for targeted groups. It isn't clear whether they'll do that again next year or beyond, and/or whether targeting will substantially replace much of the availability that was allocated last year and the year before for the general public.

bicker, I think you have hit the nail on the head, it would seem that most of the discounts (40%, bounce back, UK) have all been to targeted groups and not to the GP.

From a business perspective, they dont want to 'devalue' their normal offerings to the general public with too many give aways and deals or they will no longer be willing to pay full price.

Tough balance to maintain, even tougher to wean those off who wont purchase without an incentive.
