It's Free Fall Dining Time!

If you're a Disney Rewards Visa cardholder (and why wouldn't you be?), you can book at WDW package and get the dining plan free! Of course, if you don't have the DRV, you'll need to wait a few days to get this same discount. (Check Disney's online "offers" page May 9.) The details are similar to past years, although the travel dates seems to be getting more limited each year:

• Valid for travel dates September 2-25; that just means that you must check in during those date--your stay can extend beyond September 25.


• Must be booked by July 31.


• Suites, villas, and campsites are excluded.


• There is a 3-night minimum stay and a 14-night maximum.


• You must purchase at least a 2-day Magic Your Way ticket for every guest staying in your room.


• Guests staying at a Value Resort will receive the Quick Service Dining Plan free. Those staying at Moderate or Deluxe Resorts will receive the Disney Dining Plan free.


• You can upgrade to any of the other available plans for a charge.

That about sums it up. If you're a DRV cardholder, I recommend booking BEFORE this is released to the general public to ensure that you get the resort of your choice.
