I just got home from 10 days in the World. The day before checkout, I got a flyer in my room that said if I booked & put a $200 deposit on a visit for next September prior to checkout, I'd receive a special rate which included Free Dining. It just said to book for next Sept., it didn't have any restrictions written other than the trip could only be for next September. After 10 days of a heat index over 100, I will NEVER go back in Aug/Sept! We went to Le Cellier twice, and the host there said they were booked for dinner until Jan. 9th!! Coral Reef was booked for dinner through Sept. 23rd. We went to Alfredo's which is closing at the end of the month. The waiter said they were pretty much guarenteed jobs with the new restaurant, but that he felt sorry for the kitchen staff, who were NOT promised anything. As Teppanyaki was closed for refurb., DRS gave us "VIP seating for Illuminations". I was so excited. Turns out, they roped off an area where Future World feeds into World Showcase (between two stores) and our "seating" was not on chairs, but on the ground, on our butts!! Yes, it was a good view, but they could have thrown in some seats for our tired , weary, and hot aching bodies!!

Free Dining for Sept '08
- Thread starter Diane Hughess
- Start date
Too late, I'm afraid.
It's already being offered to UK residents by some travel providers, and as a bounce back promo offer for those currently in WDW during the month of September at certain resorts for next September.

Thenk you for spelling "dining" correctly. I think it's the most misspelled WORD (OK, I corrected it) on these forums!

Just got back from POP. If I remember correctly, the flyer I saw stated it must be at least a 5 night stay. I'll check it when I get home and post more info.

I stayed at the Poly this weekend I had the same flyer in the room, although I'm a Cast member so it doesn't do me any good

Its times like this that being a teacher has its drawbacks....I will never be able to visit WDW in September. Although having the opportunity to visit from June to August or two week in March or two weeks in December makes up for it. Lol. I wonder how wide spread Free Disney Dining will be in 2008 especially since there are changes in the works for it no?
I stayed at POR. The 'letter' states:
"Dear Guest, Welcome to Disney's Prt Orleans Resort! We wanted to thank you for choosing to stay with us. We hope you're ready to have a great time! To help kick off the excitement, we'd like to offer you an amazing deal during an amazing time of year.

For more details, just review the attached flyer or call 8844" Please keep in mind, in order to take advantage of this special dining offer, you must book and make a deposit before checkout (on or before Sept. 28, 2007)" Then the flyer says "Dreaming of your next Disney Vacation? FREE DINING with this Vacation Package! Buy either f these Vaca Packages with Hotel and Theme Park Tickets and get the Disney Dining Plan FREE!" "Visit us again in Sept. 2008 and you can enjoy this 5-night/6-Day Walt Disney World Resort vacation package and stay right in the middle of the magic. To take advantage of this offer, book either of these packages and make a deposit of $200 on or prior to your check-out date.

Now I am far from the grammar police but please... you misspelled a word in your post. ALA WORK=WORD. My biggest pet peeve is people that think they are better or above others. Its a message board, not a spelling bee or some clinical paper for your phd. Unless of course you were joking since you also mistyped Thank... if thats the case / intentional, my bad and LOL
As far as the free dining, I hope they continue. Its our first trip in days and I am already thinking ahead for a future trip. DLR is first but I say WDW within the next few years and I will go during the free DP if they have it.

Last year, you had to book before you left.
"It's already being offered to UK residents by some travel providers, and as a bounce back promo offer for those currently in WDW during the month of September at certain resorts for next September."
Could you please specify which travel providers as I would certainly be interested.
Thanks

Ouch Ouch Ouch! If you noticed in my original post, I was not correcting anyone's spelling, I was complimenting the OP on spelling "dining" correctly. I think I have shown enormous restraint in not correcting the many people who have spelled it "dinning." Perhaps you could exercise a bit of restraint yourself, especially since your pet peeve is people who think they are better than others. Also, as long as we are picking nits here, spelling and grammar are NOT the same thing. You may not be the grammar police, but I think you have now qualified as being a member of the spelling police. BTW, I have corrected "work" to "word" in my original post. Can we all go back to chatting now?
