When does the free dining end?

[Skroops]

We have a trip planned for the last week of November and we don't have the dining plan. I don't feel like creating the itinerary really soon, do you think I still have time or should I get going on making my dining reservations? Is it already too late?

It's probably a good idea to plan early and make those ADR's. Free dining ends on Sept. 30th though.

Free dining had to be booked by the end of June for stays mid-August through the end of September. If I was you, I'd make my ADR's sooner rather than later, unless you don't want to plan your days around meals and want to take your chances on a seating time when you arrive at the parks.

Free dining ends the end of September. But, if you're going in November, especially, around Thanksgiving time, I recommend you make your ADRs. I made mine this past Monday. The CM and my TA were shocked at what I was able to get being that it is 3 months away. There was only one ADR that I couldn't get and that was because that night we're taking 5 extra people out to dinner with us so we need a table of 9. There were 2 ADRs I don't care for the time we were able to get but we'll manage and eat lunch very early that day.

Thanks for answering my rather lazy question!

I'm glad to hear that the free dining ends before this trip so that my laziness may not shut me out of my favorite dining spots. It is kind of funny that in order to make ADR's, I've got to decide which parks on which days. I'd better get on that!

Thanks you guys!

I would also say make your ADRs as soon as possible, BUT we will be at WDW for free dining and yesterday and today I was able to change and make new ADRs within 30 minutes of my requested time. So don't be too concerned.

I'm glad to hear that. I keep saying how in the world does someone know exactly what they feel like eating and where that far in advance?
