once in sept 2006. it was our first trip and i didnt even know it was an option. i logged onto the disney website and it say limited time free dinning so i called and they added it to my package. I was so excited.

 

[Cyndo723]

3 for me. September of 2005, 2006 and 2007.

 

[stepdisney]

This year will make three for us:

October 2005, Aug-Sept - 2007 and Aug-Sept 2008.

2006 was the only time we didn't go.

 

[Crystal824]

2 times in 2005 and 2006.

 

[mandysmom]

August 2006, August 2007, and keeping my fingers crossed for... August 2008!

 

[esdras]

Just once in '06 - hoping for '08 - and again in '10 (at best we can only pull off Disney every other year).

On that note, would it be premature of me to start an "Official 2010 Free Dining Watch" thread?

4 times for me:

2005 - with Grand Gathering group of 21 - awesome!

2006 -twice - late August with DH and DD ; late September with DD and her friend on a Girls' Trip!!

2007 -with DH, DD and DS

Anticipating Bounceback Free Dining in September 2008!!

Just 1 time for me and it was my first and only time ever visiting WDW in 2006, we stayed at FW!

Just to let you all know that you are so lucky that you get to go every year or even more than once, maybe one day that can be me.

I have paid for the Dining Plan for the first and only time in May 2005. Since then, we have had Free Dining in:

**2005

**2006

**2007

**And Are Already Booked With The Bounceback Free Dining For 2008!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU HOPING FOR IT TO COME OUT!! I HOPE IT HAPPENS SOON AND YOU ALL CAN GET THE DATES YOU WANT!!

We've gotten it three times and like the OP are hoping for four! Last year it was via the BounceBack Promotion that I had booked in Dec '06.

I have also received 3. 2005, 2006 & 2007. Crossing fingers and toes for 2008.

 

[angeleigh]

We recieved it twice. 2006, 2007

 

[The Brain]

just 1. I was down there during the 2006 promotion, but it was the first Disney trip I'd booked myself. I did get it in 2007, and hoping again for 2008.

 

[WeLuvTink!]

2006, 2007, and Bounceback reserved for 2008 already (though hoping for Free Dining so we can take "Grandpa and Grandma" with us this year!

 

[mickeynut1]

We've gotten free dining twice.....2006 & 2007. We booked bounceback for 2008 but since we have a DS starting high school in the fall, we decided to go right before Christmas

 

[dclfun]

We've gotten free dining four times ( this year's was via the bb promo). I've also paid for it 5 times since we are DVC members and can add it on at full price. Since trying it once in 2008, for those who have had it in the past you may not be as pleased with it but for many it's a great deal even if it isn't "free". Gosh...at the end of September this year we will have stayed 44 nights with free dining ( three 10 night vacations and this year's 14 night). Wow- we are very fortunate to have had these opportunities.---Kathy

 

[Nancyg56]

Once, August 2006. I have used the DDP 4 time but only was able to take advantage of the free dining that one time. It was certainly worth it to me as we had 3 adults and 1 child in the room at a moderate. Last year the dates did not work. If they are a little earlier this year we may plan an extra trip, if not we'll find something else to do.

 

[a1tinkfans]

WOW, It's nice to see so many people get in on the promo's.

Belle_20: I AGREE, we are VERY lucky indeed to be able to get to Disney often, though if you ask me, it is NOT often enough, LOL! It takes planning and a bit of budgeting on my part BUT worth the effort!! Just wish we lived closer, (NY)!

esdras: Too EARLY, Too Funny!, I say lets go for it, LOL...I'll be first to sign on

dclfun: WOW 44 nights!!!! Lucky YOU!

Kath1210: with 21 people, AMAZING!!!

WeluvTink: OH, I HOPE you get in on it to take grandparents. It is ONE of my favorite memories, taking grandpa and grandma when my DS was a todder. An AMAZING trip of wonderful memories, especially since GP passed way too early.

Somewhere on these boards I wrote about a trip to Disney and the "special" place it is to me. I know how lucky we are to enjoy family time together and how important FAMILY time is! Crazy as it sounds, after being diagnosed with Cancer and BEFORE it all sank in, I thought, "oh my Goodness" will I ever return to MK" Crazy right??, well I READ these boards and LIVED out DISNEY while undergoing surgery and treatments and being blessed to be CANCER FREE!!
It was the first place we vacationed and those memories made with my family will never fade.
So, take each day and ENJOY, LOVE what you have and give those around you an extra HUG!! m
