******Official 2017 Free Dining Plan Watch, Wait, and Dream

So I've seen these symptoms before.........

It seems early. Do you really think it could be happening this soon? Dirty Steve and Black usually seem to be in the know...but they are quiet. So, I'm not sure what to think

This would be sooooo early though. And our free dining gurus have not dropped any hints yet.
I'm guessing it's still too soon. When do the current U.S. offers end?
I'm in Canada

From everything I've read this does seem pretty early. It kind of stresses me out because i need those dern september dates to be FD. Haha. I need consistency! Not change!

I feel like I saw there were still deals going that could be booked until March 30th. Don't they usually wait until the current deals are expired? Then again, the Disney Tourist Blogger guy said he expected deals to come out earlier than in other years. Maybe Disney wants to surprise everyone and curb the rush. No one would expect it. But I doubt it...Then again, I'm an adult sitting here watching kids cartoons and the kids aren't even here, so don't listen to me!

May not be dining, could be a room offer or something else. Tom B has said he believes some offers are a bit ahead so far this year, I should probably go back and read it again but it's along those lines, I personally think with many different things going on that we will be wowed by the dining offer if and when it comes out in terms of maybe more dates and availability then ever before or very limited offerings.

HA! I was referring to him as well. I like his blog.

2 offers just expired on the 5th I believe and 3 others on the 30th and 1 next month also I believe.

Yes he is very trustworthy on this subject as well and very good at what he does, him and his wife!

I would hazard a guess (and that's all it is) that if anything is coming out soon it will be the summer offers first. Canadian offers only go up to June 10th right now. I can't see Free Dining, which starts mid to late August, coming before they release anything for the rest of the summer.

I was only able to see one discount available on the site besides the Canadian ticket discount and the passholder discounts. So it's possible some new discounts are going up

Historically speaking - what type of offers come out during the summer? I don't even glance in Disney's general direction during summer due to crowds.

I've never gone during peak summer crowds either. I think last year there was a summer meal thing like the one this year with one free quick service meal, and room only rates. That's all I can recall.

I agree. I usually don't either. But my daughter went last summer and said it wasn't bad. We went last November and it was BUSY. I wonder if due to crowd calendars, heat, and discounts, the opposite is taking place.

I haven't heard of any PIN codes floating around. I would be interested in knowing if anyone has received one for late in the year. Merry Christmas!

Remember that there has already been an offer for summer that's come and gone. It was the free quick service meal per night package. That expired back in February.

Oh yeah . You're absolutely right.
