Free dining for Jan/Feb 2013???

[MITCH 112198]

Is there anyone out there waiting for free dining to be offered for Jan/Feb 2013 besides me?
We go to Disney every year on free dining times but always with a set of grandparents in tow, but this coming time in Feb 2013 we are going just the 4 of us. SOOOOOOOOOO excited...

I am going in early January, and yes I am hoping and have my fingers crossed for free dining! First time going at this time, usually go in October, so not even sure if its offered during the time we will be there.

I've never seen it offered in early Jan, but I could be wrong.

 

[MITCH 112198]

I'm hoping for Jan 25th to Feb 2nd, or Feb 1st to Feb 9th.

We went the week of January 22 last year and had free dining. Hoping for the same this year!

 

[Todd H]

We're going in February. I'm hoping it will be offered for the week we are there.

When was the offer released last year?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed too! Same days actually as you, Mitch!

According to this website, the past 2 years they have released free dining on August 16 and 24. http://www.mousesavers.com/historicalwdwdiscounts.html That's only 2-3 weeks worth of waiting!!

DisneyFoodblog indicates that they did have free dining at the beginning of 2012..

The Dates they had for it were..

Jan 8-12, 2012​

Jan 21-Feb 2, 2012​

Feb 11-16, 2012​

March 3-8, 2012​

March 24-29, 2012​

So I'm sure they will have it again in 2013...I think they want to get guests to come for the FL Expansion.

A dream is a wish your heart makes! Hope it comes true!

I'd love to see it available on Jan. 2nd. Likely? No, but one can always dream.

I went January 4-9 in 2011 and we had free dining then. We're going January 23-29, 2013 and hoping for free dining again. When we got free dining in 2011, it was released on August 16. Getting so excited!!!!!

early August

We were there in Jan 2 or 3 years ago and the package then was free dining and a $500 gift card. that was the best deal we've ever had. We are going again in Jan this coming year... Dec31-Jan8. I'd love to see a package like this again...hey if we are all going to dream, lets dream BIG.

I'm waiting to book our Jan vacation for the free dining too. We went the last week of Jan 2012 and had it free so hoping for the same.

 

[the1nonlysinger]

Anyone heard anything about this yet??? Still waiting!

 

[disneypearl]

I would be so happy if they had free dining for early January. I hope they release this offer soon so we know. (That is if they are planning on offering a free dining offer.) I am actually waiting for any discounts they announce for January. A good AP discount would also be nice.

 

[Mrs Potato Head]

No offers yet for 2013 as of yesterday. Something should be out any day now. Even if not free dining some promo for Jan. I'm dying to book!!
