Memorial weekend

[michelle1]

I was always under the impression that promos such as free dining were offered during certains dates when room occupancy is normally low. I booked free dining for the last week of May and just realized that it is during Memorial Day weekend. Since I am not familiar with that holiday I was wondering why FD would be offered during that time or is it not a holiday that people typically vacation over?

The parks themselves will be a bit more crowded with locals, but the holiday as a whole is not a big vacation week for the resorts.

Some schools in the U.S. are out for the summer already, but most end the school year in June. The end of May is too close to the summer break for most people to take a week's vacation.

Well Disney Marketing worked on me. We booked our vacation starting on Memorial Day Weekend because of Free Dining. We wouldn't have considered it otherwise....and with the amount of snow days we are having, my kids are going to be in school until July - so the May vacation will be a good thing.

Is free dinning still being offered for memorial weekend? All I see is the room only discounts.
Thanks!

This will be the 2x we went Memorial weekend. Last year we had a trip scheduled for Easter but the snow had us going to school Easter week. I liked going Memorial weekend- it wasn't as crowded as Easter but HS was crazy with Star Wars stuff.

It had to have been booked by 12/20.

Thanks! I figured I would be seeing it somewhere if I could still book it. The room only code is pretty good too. But if I could still do the free dinning I would have tried it out.
