*Please Help Me Understand Free Dining...

[DisneyaHolic23]

I understand about booking a package with tickets and rooms at rack rates. What I am trying to figure out is exactly what the Free Dining offer includes. I have searched this site (probably asking for wrong key words), but I can't find a link that points me in the right direction...

Does anyone know:
1) What exactly qualifies for the free dining (which restaurants, etc.)?
2) Is there anything from the Food & Wine festival that qualifies?

Thanks ever so much for your help!!

Free Dining was a special put out by disney for travel dates between 8/21 (I believe) through 10/2. If you booked a room with at least a one day MYW ticket for each person in the party, dining would be free. You had to book this by 7/3 though.

The time frame to book this expired on 7/3 though.

It's been extended.

Here's a link to the pdf of the dining plan:

the F&W is separate and not part of the dining plan, however there is an add-on you can do:

Paid food and wine events are not included. however, they are offering some as add ons for a price.

Every restaruant that takes the dining plan is included. That's most of them. A few expensive places cost two dining credits instead of one. There are some DTD places not on the plan and Victoria and Alberts is not on the plan. But by and large there is a good selection of places on it. Also the Fantasmic dinner package is not included. But if you're doing that just pay for it and use the extra meal credit for a nice dinner at the California Grill or Yachtsman's or somewhere that takes 2 credits.

What's included.

1 meal at a sit down, includes either buffet and drink or appetizer, entree, desert, drink at an a-la-carte plus all taxes and gratuities.
