Yes
Yeah it was already offered but this coming April/May anyone think it will be offered again? History says yes, but history never had it offered a year ahead of time either...

That was the point to get a general idea of peoples opinions and some peoples opinions matter a bit more than others because there are people here who have a pretty firm grasp on things Disney is doing.

Gotcha.

Here's the thing. I see this question asked somewhere on this forum every 2-3 weeks. Sometimes (as is the case right now) there are two identical threads asking the same question. So far, I've never seen an answer that was more than "wait and see" or "I sure hope so".

Hope you get the answer you're looking for.

Well for my friends sake I hope so. They really want to go and do free dining with us. In any case I am sure there will be something out that even if they buy the plan the difference won't be nothing but a "few" bucks.

And I was no trying to be a jerk either...when people start talking about weather or not free dining is good it sort of gets out of hand and the thread becomes hijacked. Just wanted to try and avoid the arguments...

Understood. Wasn't trying to be a thread-jacker!

It's all good.

A new round of PIN codes went out last Wednesday that offered "free" dining for many dates in the fall.

Unfortunately, for moderates, you only got the Quick Service plan. Often PIN codes are a harbinger of what's to come, so my guess is it will be offered in the Fall to the general public, and with mods only getting QS.

I hope they do too! We have some good friends that are hoping to get to go when we are there in September. They were not able to book last year during the free dining window so we are all keeping our fingers crossed for a March or April offer! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your friends and you can cross yours for our friends!

That is not even remotely a good deal.

We got a pin code a couple of weeks ago for free dining for July 1st thru August 13th. It was for free counter service for Value resorts and the regular dining plan for Moderate and Deluxe resorts.

We were planning on going August 13th-20th at Music, but with that offer we moved it back a week and are going the 6th-13th. We also paid to upgrade the dining plan to the regular DDP.

From what we were told when we booked, the codes just went out, and were limited and very restrictive. I know sometimes in the past, as long as you checked in during the window, you got whatever the discount was for your whole stay, but not this one. This was only until the 13th and if we would stay until the 14th, the CM said it wouldn't cover that day.
We also got this same pincode. our orignal trip dates were Aug 14-23, when we recieved the pincode I called our travel agent K.K moved it back to the 13th and have FREE dinning thru the 23. It sounds to me that maybe the CM was new or missed informed

I too would think history would repeat itself, and they will offer it sometime in April. Hopefully, that's not just wishful thinking on my part. We booked for our normal time frame, end of Sept, and will be making dining reservations since 180 days out will be this week. We're banking on them releasing the offer and we can just slide into that package, and already have our ADR's made.

Black, you and Colleen going same time this year?
