6 night 7 day stay free dining special

I don't know if this has been discussed already, if so I apologize. Has anyone noticed that last years free dining special required you to stay for only a 5 night/6 day package? and this year you have to stay for 6 nights/7 days to be able to get it. I guess this is their way of making it harder for you to get over to UNI for a couple of days. This definitely keeps you at Disney longer.

Any time that Disney posts things like that in advertisements, it's just a "lead in" for pricing and advertisement purposes. In actuality, I think the minimum purchase for Free Dining is 3 nights. They just use those lead-ins to entice people. Typically they'll use ads like "A family of 4 for 6 nights for $1700", or they'll give discount pricing for a Value or a Moderate when discounts for Deluxe resorts are also available. Usually somewhere at the bottom they'll say "ask us about stays of other lengths and resorts"

I dont know because on the WDW website under special offers it says you have to book a 6 night 7 day stay with park tickets to get the free dining.

Try putting in less days. If it works, then it's just a suggestion to stay longer.

3-night minimum. It allows a trip with check-in on 11/11 and check-out on 11/14.
(And there's a 14-night maximum)

The 6-nights/7-days on the special offer page is so that they can quote specific prices farther down the page for that example length of trip.
