Free dining 2010 promotion is here!!

[Carolc]

The much anticipated Free dining promotion has been released!

Guests who book rooms at the Value resorts will receive the Quick Service Dining Plan, and guests of Moderates/Deluxe resorts will receive the (regular) Disney Dining Plan. Note that you can book a Value resort and upgrade to the Disney Dining Plan for a small fee (this would still be cheaper than staying at a moderate/deluxe, so totally worth it!)

Updated dates:
Booking and Travel Window:

* Booking Window: May 3 – Aug. 14, 2010
* Travel Window: Valid for stays most nights Aug. 15 – Oct. 7, 2010, Oct. 22 – Oct. 28, 2010, Nov. 12 - Nov. 18, 2010, Nov. 27 – Dec. 2, 2010 and
Dec. 10 – Dec. 21, 2010

Any rumors for those of us wanting to go after 10/2?

I haven’t heard any rumors, only lots of questions. But, I’ll keep my eyes open!

Starting today, Disney Visa holders are eligible to purchase vacation packages with complementary dining. Travel dates are Aug 14 – Oct 2, 2010. Guests who book rooms at the Value resorts will receive the Quick Service Dining Plan, and guests of Moderates/Deluxe resorts will receive the (regular) Disney Dining Plan.

Word is this offer will be available to the general public starting on Monday.

YEAH!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Just an update... the Rewards Visa site now shows Aug 15-Oct 2nd (though it still differs from the email they sent me, which shows Aug 15-Sep30). This deal is supposed to be offered to the general public in the morning (so by the time you read this).

Is anyone tempted to take advantage of this awesome deal? This is my favorite promotion they offer, so please let me know if you have any questions about it.

The rumors are flying that something new is coming out soon. Have you heard anything?

I sure hope so! If they extend free dining, DBF and I might be able to go this year after all.

Hi Janna,

I haven't seen any info flow in from my TA channels, but often times I hear things thru the rumor mill first. I haven't heard any rumors yet, and looked quickly on DIS but didn't come across anything in my brief search. What have you heard and where have you heard it?

Thanks!
Carol

i have been waiting for the free dining to take effect cause that is gonna be my starting point on getting my BF to let me plan our trip! off to research....

Oh, just found the 'code watch' thread in another forum. Well, you can call Disney to see if there is a code attached to your name... I've heard of this happening before even if you don't get an email. Otherwise, perhaps we'll hear something official on July 14? Is that the info you've come across? I hate it when they wait so long to release promotions.
