I think we will, or if not "free dining", then some equivalent offer which will amount to pretty much the same savings. I seem to notice a pattern the past few years that Disney releases the "official" rates in August, but then offers discounts pretty much all year long such that no matter when you go (excluding perhaps a few blackout dates here and there for really busy periods), you won't be paying the "official" rate.
While I don't object to a discount by any means, it does seem a little dishonest or deceptive to me to employ this type of strategy. Just to make up some numbers to illustrate my point, if they advertise that this resort is $500 per night, but then offer some kind of discount perpetually throughout the year, such that you pay $200 a night no matter when you go, then the de facto rate ends up being $200 a night. I work at Walmart, and I have seen similar methods used. Something might be, say, $4 originally, then a price change will come down raising it to $5, then it will go on rollback to $4.50, just so they can slap a rollback sign on it and advertise it as being "on sale", when in reality, you're paying 50 cents more than what you were paying originally. I'm making up numbers here, as I can't remember the exact prices involved, but hopefully you get my point. I know all businesses do it and it's perfectly common, but I can't help seeing it as a little shady. If they are going to charge $200 a night throughout the year, then they should just advertise it as $200 a night, for simple honesty, rather than advertise it as $500 a night, then discount it no matter when you go. I understand the business sense of it and how people like a perceived discount, but just because it makes good business sense, that doesn't make it honest.
