Hi, we are in the midst of planning our next trip. We always purchase the DDP and love it.
We have never been during a Free Dining time.
Other than the current one being offered for Nov/Dec. when are other times Disney have offered this. We are interested in going in Jan, Feb or April. Has it ever been offered during this time period.

1) Feb & Apr are doubtful, due to the normal crowd levels.
2) No need to entice if people come anyhow.
3) For Jan, there are usually ample room discounts to attract people.
4) With that being said, one just never knows.
5) If bookings are down, they could always throw it in.

Historically it's only been in September until last year and this year when they've done it for the rest of the fall.

Thanks, that is what I thought.
Our two favorite times are the first week of Dec and the 2nd or 3rd week of January.
Being there during free dining does sorta scare me in terms of crowds and ADR's.
I think value season is still our best bet.

We always stay at Deluxes but the kids are campaigning to stay at Pop Century or All Star Music next trip, so the room savings will more than pay for the DDP.
