I would snap that offer up in a minute if I could. We always follow the European trend of staying for a longer period of time (14 nights for us) since our flights from the middle of no-where cost us so stinking much.

Ah well, at least it gives me some hope that there will be a general offer in the next while for the rest of us.

I read somewhere recently that the number of Europeans coming has really fallen off due to there hard times. I think they are looking to South Americans now to make up for some of that. But maybe they are also trying to get a few more of the Europeans to come with a good deal. I hope they come up with something great to get more Canadians to go as we seem to be in much better shape then most of the world. Fingers cross for free dinning soon for late August 2013!

Very interesting, thanks for posting it.

Probably because we are a lot closer, and Europeans typically stay for 2 weeks being that they are much further away.

I hear ya! We're going for 12 days but it's 2 weeks for the whole trip! I snagged a free dining offer for my trip back in August of last year. But we are considered "international" for shipping so I don't see why we aren't for this. Why not try calling and say you saw the ad.

Hi Heather! only 32 days for us!!! I'm glad I was able to show you the way to the CDN free dining offer last August! Can you believe it's finally almost here!!! I'm with you, it would be nice to qualify for that international offer we are a completely other country after all, and as big as Canada is, some of us have 7 hour flights just to get to Florida I think that qualifies us,
I hope your trip with your kiddos is absolutely amazing!

We were there the first week of August. It was packed with both Europeans and south Americans
One uk family said they spent 10,000 for two weeks in wdw and would never come again because of the cost. I asked if they would go to Disney Paris and he looked at me and said they are still at war with France. I think he was kidding.
