Note, however, that the last few dining offers have been for discounted dining, not "free" dining, and that the eligibility requirements (e.g., package with parkhopper tickets and a certain length of stay) will in some cases cost you more, if you have to upgrade your package, than you'd save through the offer. It all depends on how the offer requirements square up with your booking, and whether the dining plan squares with what and where you eat.
Are the portion sizes different when free dining is in affect? I went to mama melrose, ordered the chcken parm and it seemed smaller than usual and at the time free dining was in affect. Just wondering.
