Free Dining Coming for Select Fall Dates?

There is a rumor that free fall dining may be returning for a few select weeks. As has been the case the last few years, the Quick Service Dining Plan would be offered for those staying in a Value Resort, while the regular Disney Dining Plan would be offered for Moderate and Deluxe resort stays. The dates that would qualify are:
  • October 2-8

  • October 23-November 5

  • November 13-19

  • November 27-December 3

  • December 11-17

    • Cleverly excluded are the popular holiday dates (Thanksgiving and Christmas), as well as several other weeks that are a little more puzzling. Yes, Epcot's Food and Wine Festival covers some of the blackout dates, but some dates of the Festival aren't blacked out. There is a cheer competition Dec. 3-10 that could explain that week being excluded. I'm sure the dates offered are based on lower-attendance and/or resort reservations, as well as other factors known only to Disney.

    I'll offer more details if/when this discount becomes official--expected August 3.

      Are you sure of these dates? I just booked the week in between in october and have been holding out for the free dining plan but booked since moderate rooms were becoming scarce. It will cost me a lot since I bought tickets to the blue man group show and dont think they are refundable. How sure are you on this info?

      Until the discount is officially announced, nothing is set in stone. I certainly wouldn't make any changes until I had confirmation. I expect Disney to announce in the next 2 days.
