Free dining????????

[JenniferS.]

Planning a trip for dec 6-14 or maybe Nov 15-23
Has free dining been around on these dates? We didn't get to go to Disney in 2012. We are going to be a group of 8 including 2 first timers!! We are trying to figure out if we should get 2 rooms at a value (would only get free quick service) or a 2 bedroom villa. It would actually be cheaper if we can get the villa with free dining than 2 rooms without it. Help>>

It is always hard to guess what Disney will do, but the trend (so far) this year has been to cut down on free dining.

So far, the winter and spring specials have not included free dining, but we'll have to wait and see what they do for the rest of the year.

I would stay where you want to stay, not where you feel you have to stay. Book with Magical Journeys, and they will stay on top of any room discounts that come out (and I think these are more likely than free dining), and then you can choose if you want the dining plan, or just to pay as you go.
