Hm....I thought we would be hearing some rumors by now...

[Ladybugsy]

Am I just missing those rumor threads? Anyone heard anything at all on Free Dining?

 

[zuzu310]

Well on one of the other threads, one person reported that their AAA agent said they would rebook their package with free dining when it comes out 4/6-4/9. I know that others will be critical since it didn't come from an inside source but it was a good enough glimmer of hope for me...

I was hoping for more rumors soon too.

I just can't imagine that Disney won't offer Free Dining again in these economic times, so we'll just have to keep waiting and hoping.

 

[LisaNJ25]

It wont be much longer....

 

[PrincessPaczki]

heres to Free Dining!

I hope they offer it this year.

Just got off the phone with my CAA travel agent. She talked to marketing and they said next week they would know for sure but they felt it would start Aug. 16. That works perfectly for me.

 

[gchockeymom]

That makes sense because I received a pin number starting that date for free dining several weeks ago. We are going Aug. 17-19 !!!
We are also leaving this Sunday for 3 days for my birthday!! I can't seem to stay away.

There is still nothing on the Disney Visa site. From what I understand, it is offered to credit card members first.

Anxiously awaiting here as well. Hopefully they'll do either the free dining or extend the 4/3 deal (both would be even better )

I figure if they do the free dining, we'll stay moderate (POR) again - which would be the best deal. If they extend the 4/3, I'm thinking about the Fort Wilderness cabins.... Either way, just want a deal!!

There won't be anything on the Disney Visa site until the day it comes out. The code will most likely appear on Mousesavers and here on the DIS before Visa puts it up.

How in the world does the Dis and Mousesavers get the info before the Disney Visa website??? Or is that strictly confidential? lol

 

[Mermaid2sea]

Hmmmm.... I was thinking the same if there were any rumours by now...

OMG I really really hope you are right! If Free Dining starts Aug 16 (which just happens to be my week off work) then we are going to Disney. Otherwise no trip as this was not "a plan" until now...LOL.

I am hearing some places the rumours are Aug 23 and I really hope that is wrong.

Travel Agents get the info before the public and it usually gets leaked and it just snowballs from there.

 

[Disney's Fab 4]

I was lucky enough to receive a pin code for free dining...

I agree with OP, in years past by now there seemed to be a buzz all over the boards, mousesavers and UG regarding free dining. IMO, I do believe Disney will definitley offer it.

Good Luck and pixiedust to all

 

[DisneyDreamer04]

I really wanna go back to Disney. Hoping for some Free Dining info soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[asmit4]

MEEEE TOOO!! Where's the leaks??! Wouldn't it be great if they offered a giftcard too? Like with the 4/3 deal!?

 

[Jasmin1]

I called the other day to ask about dining and the guy told me that the FD would be coming out for sure soon, so to keep watching for it. THE WAIT IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I've found on Intercot, in a thread started yesterday:

Just checked the uk website for disney offers and found out that the value resorts are not included in the free dining this year. The moderate resorts are for the counter service plan and the deluxe/villa accommodations will have the TS plan.

I would assume the same would apply for the u.s.

Yikes! That wouldn't be worth it for me - I'd rather have the 4/3 deal....
