Hello my wife and I are waiting on the free dining option before booking as we have done this the past 2 years. Has there been any evidence of them offering free dining before the year is over?
Yes Danny has not been wrong in the last 3 yrs.. He apparently gets it straight from the horses mouth so to speak..I for one am greatly relieved!That dude seems to have a good rep on DIS, and they seem pretty sure about it. This is exactly why I took the chance of moving our trip from early/mid October to mid-September. I knew the chances of FD were the best during September, when families are headed back home for the beginning of school.
The current Disney discount promotion (room only discount) which runs April 2 - June 4 has to be booked by Sunday, March 31. http://bookwdw.reservations.disney....romotionCode=fy13q2q3room&market=fy13q2q3room
So I would expect the next discount offer to be out shortly (as early as Monday April 1). What the discount will be is anyone's guess, but it generally it is for the begining of the next "Valu" season at WDW which starts this year on August 18 (When southern school go back in session). The bounceback offers last year give you an indication of the next period (See image below). Generally this is the time of year they annouce the Fall "Value" season offer (see http://www.mousesavers.com/historical-information-on-walt-disney-world-resort-discounts/#codetrends for historical release dates). So keep your eyes open. Anything can happen at anytime at this point. Rest assured that the boards will be a buzz if Free Dining is offered. You won't miss it if you are looking.
Saying it like that makes it sound like you feel as though you are entilted to a Disney vacation.Wow. There are those of us who can't afford a Disney Trip without Free Dining. I priced out the same package with and without...the difference?? over $1500 for a family of 4!! So that isn't wanting something for nothing. That is the difference between a $2600 trip and a $4500 trip. And the thing is, if you want to stay in the parks all day, there aren't many to choose from that won't cost a heap of money. Even if you split meals (like my husband and I generally do). Disney has made a total of about $20,000 off of my family just on vacations alone over the past few years. I know you said that you didn't want to offend anyone but I can't see how that statement wouldn't offend anyone who can't go without Free Dining.
Well, Danny has a stellar track record and I figured that if they offered it this year it would only be for September before they completely cut the strings. So, this seems legit to me.
Usually yes. I can't remember a US offer that didn't include Canada though its possible.We are booked for our first ever September trip, and are wondering if the free dining offers for U.S., typically extend to Canadians booking as well.
I am a little sceptical that they will have no promotion from August 17 - September 1 (when this rumor of free dining begins).
