Minimum Stay for Free Dining

[crazyfordisney2000]

Usually there is a minimum stay when you book for free dining, does anyone know what that minimum is? We're trying to figure out our September vacation. Thanks!!!

It would be a 3 night minimum stay with a minimum purchase of at least a 2 day base ticket for everyone on the reservation .

Oh, awesome, we want to do a split stay, 4 days with free dining and 4 days pay oop for food at a deluxe resort, and we would get 7 day tickets , woohoo!

When you book online it will let you add dining if you only have a 1 day base ticket, is that a glitch in the online booking system? I haven't booked that way, but did price out a vacation that way since dh and I have 6 day non-expiration tickets.

If you are just adding dining to a regular reservation (paying for DDP), you only need a 1 day base ticket . In order to get free dining, however, you must buy at least a 2 day base ticket. When booking free dining online, it won't even give you an option for a 1 day ticket. Free dining used to only require a 1 day base ticket, but Disney changed this a few years ago to require a 2 day base.

Ahh, I see, good to know. I was just looking to pay for the dining out of pocket. Thanks for the quick reply. I will keep that in mind when I decide to use those tickets.
