Hello, me and my family are thinking of booking this week for disney from Oct 1 to 8th. Rumors are saying that free dining will be open soon. I think one option is Aug to like October 1st, can we still get free dining after cus we added the 1st of our vacation day or will it only be available Oct 1st?

your check in day is what matters, if Free Dining is until October 1st and you check in on the 1st, as long as your resort and room category are available you would qualify
 
The resort and room category is the real hangup, though. The dates being offered is only one piece.
 

Can you please explain what you mean? We are hoping for Free Dining Nov 7th - 14th and it's my first time looking at Free Dining. We want to stay at CBR.
Specific inventory is allocated for any discount. Inventory consists of:
  • Resort
  • Room type (Standard, Preferred, etc.)
  • Specific dates those rooms at that resort are available for discount
So, when Free Dining is announced, you can't just see the dates, book any room for any dates at an included resort, and BOOM. It has to be a specific room, on specific dates within the promotional period, for which the discount has been made available.

It's common at CBR for free dining to only be available many dates on a limited number of Preferred or Pirate rooms, for instance.

There's only a certain amount of rooms/types available. So if they allow 10 people at CBR to have free dining, and you're the 11th caller to try and add it, you won't be able to (regardless of your dates, prior booking, etc).

It's limited.

This. I suggest following the free dining watch thread on here, and getting up early the day it's released.
