mousesaver historical - question

[DznyLvr2005]

We're heading to Disney Oct 2 - 9th. I've looked at the historical info on the mousesavers website to see the past few years what discount was realeased for the time we are going. IN the past 3 years for the dates we're going this year, it says there was a package discount for general public
Does anyone remember what this package was? I don't think it was free dining because free dining ended in Sept. These are all beginning of Oct thru end of December. I'm trying to figure out what discount is going to come out and how much money I'm going to save (I hope anyway!)

Free dining has been at the beginning of Oct, it usually overlaps the 1st weekend. Dont recall seeing anything else for general public - maybe a little package discount but nothing like free dining?

Also, notice that they extended the Bounceback Free Dining dates to the guests who booked last year for this year - instead of ending 9/27 it went to 10/8/09 - so keep an eye out this April for when/if they offer general public Free Dining. Could be they will run it into October this year
