Port Orleans Riverside and the free dining

[cottontail]

Is there anytime in the past couple of years that Port Orleans Riverside has been able to use the free diningplan. I read that Port Orleans Riverside has been blocked from free dining on certain dates.

I was looking at late sept or early oct for a trip to wdw and it would be nice if the resort qualified for the free dining.

If I was was looking later say Oct 25th to 31 st and my stay was til Nov 4th, I would have the free dining until the 31st and I think I would have to make another reservation for the Nov 1 til 4th. Is that how it goes? Thanks for your information.

We were there during free dining this past September (I think it was around the 20th-25th). I think it might of been POFQ that was blocked out, but POR was not.

no, for FD all that matters is your check in date. if you check in on a date when FD is offered then you get it for the length of your stay up to 14 days .
just one reservation for the whole trip

We'll probably miss out on trying for free dining. It would be nice but we like POR and I have to go when kids are on Fall Break.
