I was one of the 'free grubbers' last year also. I had already made reservations using my AP and was planning on using my DDE card, but the free dining was too good of a deal to pass up for us. I knew I only had to get a one day base ticket to get the free dining, but because I wasn't planning on renewing my AP this year, chose to get a 7 day MYW (with pluses on it). When I got down there I used my AP and saved my 7 day MYW ticket for this year. Now that free dining has been offered again I just booked another trip (yesterday in fact) getting a one day base ticket this time (and will be using my left over 7 day ticket from last September). I had no trouble getting ADRs last Sept and yesterday I again got all my ADRs with no problem.
I guess I'll be a double 'free grubber'.
