They are afraid that because of the multiple late season hurricanes last year that bookings might fall off drastically for the late summer/early fall this year.

If that is true, I would guess they won't extend it.

Oh bummer!!!!

This seems like a great deal but I am a little confused. If I were to book a 4 night stay with a 3-day pass, how many days worth of dining would I get? Would it only be for the three days I have the pass for? Also, I am sure this has been asked before but when you book the Disney Dining plan do you get meals for your check out day? For example, when you book 4 nights, do you get 5 days worth of meals? Thanks!

The dining plan is good per NIGHT you are there.

So, no, you wouldn't have any for the last day unless you saved them.

4 nights gets your four 'sets' of points.

gingles · 06-12-2005

It seems to work out since you're usually traveling on your first and/or last days. With our itinerary, I have actually had trouble fitting in all the counter service meals.

KarenWDWCP · 06-12-2005

Meals per night makes sense - I hadn't thought about the travel days! Thanks for the info, everyone!

whitba · 06-13-2005

By the time I contacted my agent she had already made the changes and was awaiting the recalculated invoice. We saved $1570 US (almost $1950 Cdn)

I think we will actually save money staying at Disney over feeding two teenage boys at home!

I booked my wdw vacation through disney in march. i included the meals. will i be able to benefit from that offer even though i booked ahead of time?

Hi hulagirl, welcome to DC.
Are you traveling to WDW during the dates the free meal plan is being offered?
If so, call right away and change your reservation to include the "free" dining. It should be no problem to book you at the new price, then cancell your other reservation.
Let us know how you make out.

queensmama · 06-15-2005

You have to call and change it. Do not hesisate there are a limited number of these packages.

hula_girl1969 · 06-15-2005

I just called disney and they ajusted my price with the free dining. saved myself $600.00. hoping to go on the cruise now. thanks for the tip.

inluvwithdisney · 06-15-2005

Oh man I wish they would extend the dates!!!!!

Great !!!

So, where are you staying ?

Don't know how much you know about Disney dining, but make sure to make your reservations in advance.

dznygrl · 06-16-2005

WOW, that is such a great deal it seems too good to be true!

I may have to work out the numbers and see if booking packages would be to our advantage with the free dining. We're going to be staying so long, though, we will have APs and the tickets w/ the package would be of no use to us!

lopo · 06-16-2005

dznygrl, I read the following on Mousesavers:

Quote:

Helpful hint for those who already have tickets or Annual Passes: This package is just like regular Magic Your Way packages in that the minimum ticket length is only ONE day! So you could even book a 10-night package with 10 days of FREE dining plan and a 1-day ticket. Because of this, it may be worthwhile to consider the Free Dining package even if you already have tickets.

So, you may be able to benefit from the promo . . .

I'm staying at the POR. I don't know much about the dining. should i be making AR now(not going till october)? this is our first time to WDW, any advise on anything and everything.
