Nanci-
Lots of people are asking if the dates are inclusive this year.
In other words are the dates 8/24-9/20 the only dates Free Dining is available?
Or if you check in by 9/20- do you still get the offer for your whole vacation?

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

So glad the dates are set now! We arrive at the World on 8/24, so this works out so nicely for us! Glad the speculation is over.

As always MJ on top of things
i have a room booked for that time period w a bounceback rate and am hoping for AP rate, so I have to decide today if i want to switch to free dining. I have a DDE card & AP already.
and I dont eat that much. would it make sense to me to pay rack rate & have to buy a 1 day pass to get the dining? hmmmmm
could someone else use the pass if someone goes w me? or could i save it for a future trip?

[vorchik]

Does someone know what delux resorts are the most "limited" to this offer? I'm interested in Poly .

[wendy*darling]

Crow-
AP holders no longer have to purchase a one day pass to get the DDP. Also- even if there is an AP rate available- you can still purchase the DDP. It's no longer rack rate + a one day pass.

Now- I do not know what you would have to do to get "free" dining- but if you can get an AP rate (if one is available)- I would either pay OOP for food or purchase the DDP (if you so desire) remembering that many restaurants are already totally booked for that time period in anticipation of Free Dining!!

[Tink1]

You can save the ticket for future use

Ones that check in the last week and go past the 9/20 dates seem to be getting free dinng the entire time so far. Will post if that changes

Being told very limited availability for dates post 9/20

That's ok, I'm going to Disney World!!

[goofiecrazy]

This just figures we arrive on the 22nd of Sept.There goes that chance of getting it for free.Why didnt they make it a little longer?

[MMouse6937]

WOO HOO!! Already got my email from Debbie at MJs!! It's actually for my parent's reservation, we booked last year with the bounceback! Just glad they were able to get it! Thanks Debbie, you're the best!

Would love to take advantage of this deal....but during that time ---- it's SO hot.

Would they EVER have Free Dining during another time besides the oppressive time of year?....he he

[GoinGoofyPlanninThisTrip]

Does one just pay the difference between the Deluxe and Base Dining Plans in order to book the Deluxe Plan?

Thanks.

Doubt it. They want to get people there during the slow time.

[onjbj]

Yes, you would have to pay the difference between the regular dining plan and the deluxe.

[GoinGoofyPlanninThisTrip]

My guess is that option will be very popular. I only hope that does not degrade the signature restaurants' quality.

Do you suppose they will do the same for those of us that are there 8/19-8/25, and give us FD for the entire time?

Check in date for the promotion is August 24. You can't get the free dining promotion if you are checking in earlier unless you do a split reservation. With your dates of 8/19 to 8/25, it would not work as there is a 3 day minimum stay required.
