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

[squirrel]

Yep that is what someone else said his morning to probably 5 pages back or so, so this is accurate.

If it's that low per person it's still cheaper for me to keep the Summer Room Discount and the Canadian Resident Tickets and add in the QSDP as that still saves approx. $30.

I never did MNSSHP before, is it worth it? My daughters are 12 (twins) and have pretty much exited the princess phase.

We LOVE the Halloween party!! Here are just a few reasons why....

• Boo to You parade (Headless Horseman rides at the start of the parade)
• Hallowishes fireworks (my favorite)
• special SotMK card
• dance parties
• special party merchandise
• Halloween party magic shots
• low wait times for rides
• special character meet and greets
• Haunted Mansion CMs all decked out for the party (great photo op)
• Cadaver Dans
• candy, candy, candy

I feel like I'm forgetting something .

I'm thinking of checking this out this year! Is it fun for adults w/o young kids too (my baby is 32!!)?

I think you get free coco to not for sure on that and you get to see Maleficent on stage along with other Villains. The first time we went my husband just happen to be by the stage were the stairs are and Maleficent came down before the show and he got a photo with her.

From my understanding this was rare since they normally do not do this.

Do it!

I have been multiple times with my significant other (4 different years?) and love it!!! The Sanderson Sister show is fabulous.
Also, where else can Adults dress up and trick or treat in a socially acceptable setting?

Does anyone know from dates past, does the first week of December usually fall under a discount or free dining? When do they usually release those? Sorry if it's been asked. I tried to skim thru back post and didn't find. TIA

Just as an FYI - danny25 hasn't posted on disboards since August last year unless I'm looking at it wrong.

I know there are lots of conferences in October. My husbands work is always there and I have friends that go in October with work too.

For those keeping an eye on late summer free dining, there were also some dates in Aug 2012. It was our first (and only) trip with Free Dining. We checked in on 8/25, and I believe the free dining dates ran through the end of Sep
