Predicting FD for Summer-Fall 2010

[BigKid45]

Howdy,
I pulled this off the Disney UK site.

Dine for FREE!
For stays 5 Jul - 18 Nov 2010
Book your magical Walt Disney World holiday before 2 August 2010, for stays 5 Jul - 18 Nov 2010, and you’ll enjoy FREE Disney dining. Make your booking for a minimum of 5 nights including tickets, and everyone in the party dines for free for your whole holiday.
Receive Disney Quick (Counter) Service Dining Plan when you stay at a selected Disney Moderate Resort, OR Receive Disney Dining Plan when you stay at a selected Disney Deluxe Resort.

When I last checked a couple of weeks ago the UK offer was QS at Value & Moderate and DDP at a Deluxe. Now it appears Values are out of the UK mix...might there be plenty of ressies at values already and WDW is trying to pull UK visitors to the moderate and deluxe with similar US deals to follow? Could this be an indication of FD to come for the US general public? If I were uncle Walt and I knew folks were banking on FD, I'd offer up QS and expect the majority to pony up $200 to upgrate to DDP...then uncle Walt makes $200on something he previously gave away for free. I hate to be a nay sayer, and I'm hoping for FD for all for August, but this has been nagging me for a few weeks. Will 3/29 ever get here and will it be or ?

I saw the same promo late last week. I priced out a 1 week package at BC in August for 3 of us (DS 10) and overall came out to $1300 difference in favor of the UK promo.

Not to be too selfish (which this will come off that way no matter what) but gotta say I think it is a bit unpatriotic of Mickey to send the discounts overseas before releasing here in the US.

Hoping we get a shot at the same deal but now at 5 months out Im sure ressies at our favs our starting to disappear quickly.

I'm postive the values haven't been included in the free dining (quick or regular) for 2010 at all, for the UK.

I'm all for FD but I'm hoping it's a minimum "3" night stay with minimum "1" day base ticket as in the past.

It is in WDW's best interest to send out these great promos to other countries to entice them here. Otherwise many people wouldn't be able to justify paying the crazy airfare.

Don't count on UK offers to come even close to US offers...

Again, (and how many threads we need?) based on PINs and BounceBacks, FD would be 8/14 to 9/29. But the chances of this are the same as getting a PIN (no one knows until it becomes real).
