Any news on Free Dining in 2012 after March?

[Carolc]

I'm seeing reports of Free Dining offered to Disney Visa holders (starting today). The travel window is 8/25 - 9/29. They seem to release it to the general public a few days later. I'll update when I actually see it in print from Disney.

I believe it's supposed to go on sale to the public on March 5

I wish I could go for this, but it's the start of skating season. Sigh. Maybe someday...

Booked my trip today - SO EXCITED! Our last trip was Oct 2010 - it was a 2 week Make a Wish trip for my daughter, we call it the trip that ruined all future trips :-) So our next trip should be interesting, but we are still very excited to be going back :-) Trip dates Sept 16-21, 2012!

Although, I am a little stressed to be going back and not having last trip scrapbooked yet - EEK!!!
