When free dining was offered in August how far in advance did Disney announce the deal? I was thinking it wasn't until June. If this is the case it may not be until Nov or Dec before we know about any offers for Jan/Feb.

According to several different TA's they don't anticipate Disney releasing a deal that good again! Most believe it was a good intro to the package and that was a good way to get the word out about it!! Now that it is popular they won't need to release it again But possibly they will release somthing like this lastest plan!!

What was the latest plan. I haven't paid much attention for a few months, but now I am planning a trip for Jan/Feb.

The free dining plan for August - October was announced on June 2:

I was personally told by several Disney employees who should know that they would not do any more room discounts, and that all future discounts would be of this type, ie. free dining, reduced park passes, etc. I guess this last round of package discounts blew that out of the water. I would be surprised to see the free dining again, but I am sure that Disney has now had time to look into the success or failure of that offer, and that will determine what we see for January.

I know Disney is trying to get to get away from room discounts, as you can see from the current deals. The room only deals are only slightly discounted, but the packages are much more so, and in some cases, the rooms are less than half price. Really a decent deal.

I forsee Disney getting creative on us, and will try something special in January to drive traffic.

Mickey - when do they usually announce discounts for Jan/Feb?

I hope they do something for Jan, that would be a perfect time for us to escape for a few days.
