Free Dining?

[Chabby]

Hi guys:
Where do they post the dates for the Free Dining?

I was able to get it in March of this year because a fellow Diser told me my arrival date fell within the FD dates.

I'm dreaming of a trip for the second week of December 2013, but I need some sort of discount to be able to do it and I loved Free Dining!

Have they offered FD in December? Are dates for this year out?

TIA!

Disney posts all special offers on their page when they are released. Chances are you will see it here first, or on Mousesavers.

There have been free dining offers that covered dates in December in the past.

You can look here on Mousesavers to see historical discount offers and when they were released, booking windows, effective dates:

Thank you Vicki_c!

It looks like free dining for the fall and winter is usually not announced until late July or August, I am hoping they will announce it for 2012. You will have a long time to wait until hearing about 2013. Good luck!

Thanks!

I got a PIN through email on the 22nd. I had a few packages for these dates saved in my disney accout, so not sure if that's why then sent it. it's worth a shot to try, though. This is copied from the email.


FREE Disney Dining

How does one get a free pin through email? We've been there twice now in the last 13 months and never received one. We really want to go again come January and hope free dining is offered then.

Do you have an account on WDW's website? I read this tip from someone else a few months ago.....go in there, create a "fake" vacation for when you want to go, then save it. I don't know if that's what worked for us, but I did that back in February, and they have sent me at least 3 different PIN offers since then, one being the free dining. We are going in December w/ free dining. I know some don't think it's a great savings, but we have 7 kids (only the 1yo will be free, 3 are considered adults), so this will definitely save us some money! It was a much bigger savings for us over the room discount. We're going to AoA, free QS dining for 7 nights, 7 day MYW tickets...all for just around $3900. Not bad for a family of 9.

Call them and ask if any offers are attached to your name/address. Called today and we had the free dining!! I had called a few weeks ago and no such luck, so keep trying!
I would say though that this is a really good sign that it will be available to the public soon.
