Very limited dates!

Agreed. Last November we went for 9 or 10 nights (can't remember right off the top of my head) and had free dining. That'd be all but impossible to do with smaller booking windows unless they'll give it to you for the length of stay as long as you arrive within the window.

If you check in on one of those dates but your stay extends to dates not included will they still give you free dining??? IE....vacation is 11/5 - 11/12 will they honor for entire week???

Nice, with free dining in the uk it only applies within d dates!

they have done this in the past but with all the changes I am not sure if they still are doing it. I have a co-worker who checks in the WL with deluxe dining on 11/5 and it would be nice if they could save some $$ and just have go pay the upcharge for the deluxe.

I would expect it would cover the extended dates due to the fact it states up to 14 days and none of the dates listed are 14 days in length.

Last year, we arrived on December 17, which was the last day free dining was offered but it was given to us throughout the duration of our stay.

Of course, the two week gap in October is when most schools are taking a fall break. I know that is probably because WDW will be plenty busy already, but we may be traveling down there at that time depending on my job.

I believe so, in the pass that was the case.

I am going from Dec 2-5 w/ deluxe dining but im staying at a value.
I should just have to pay the difference between the quick service and the deluxe, correct?

Shouldn't be much. Last August we stayed at Pop Century for 4 nights with the free dining plan, but I upgraded it to Deluxe. For 2 adults and 1 child it was a total of $97 for the whole trip, so not bad at all.

Hopefully they'll release AP or General discounts for those dates as well.
