Free Disney Dining 2009 Question

[hollibo83]

This is a question about if and when they release the 2009 Free Dining code.

If I were to book my Magic Your Way Plus Dining right now for 2009, and I booked it for September 6-13.. IF & WHEN they release the codes for 2009.. I heard they're usually in September so would I go ahead and pay for my current pacakge and then just call someone at Disney and let them know that I have a code? Would they credit me for the dining or what?

I just want to go ahead and book my package for next year while I have the money and I was just wondering how the Free Dining worked. I wanted to know if I could take advantage of it even though I've already paid for my entire package.

Thanks

This is a question best located on the Codes & Rates Board.

I'll move this there.

And take a swing at answering it. Available rooms for FREE DINING are set based on the occupancy of the resorts.. so if you book a room for that time period, Disney doesn't assume you want the free dining - they assume they have a solid vacation booking to whom they won't have to give free dining to entice to come.

You are always best off to book a free dining trip when free dining becomes available. Pre-booking a trip and then cancelling and booking again for Free Dining actually minimizes the available rooms for FREE DINING.

You can go ahead and book the package now and just call back the first day free dining is released and as long as the dates are allowed and there is availibility at the resort with free dining they can just change the package code and credit the dining back
