Hi Cheryl,
From classic Mickey-shaped snacks to magical
meals with beloved characters to
unique cuisines from all around the world, it's easy to see why the
Disney Dining Plans are such a hit. Being able to try so many tasty dishes and drinks without worrying about the cost per item is definitely a big benefit!
While there
was a special offer available back in January for free dining during September, unfortunately that offer expired in February. Historically speaking, free dining has been offered in the fall the past couple of years, but was always announced in late April, and while there
is currently a
special offer that includes some free meals, it's for summer travel dates. Since we never know for sure what new offers will be available, I'd encourage you to keep your eye on the
Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page. In the meantime, feel free to go ahead and book the
Disney Resort hotel that best fits your need, then if a free dining or other special offer pops up, you can always
apply it to your package at that point! I'm wishing on a star and sending some pixie dust that the
perfect special offer will become available for the fall, and you'll create memories on your trip that you'll cherish for a lifetime!
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Cheryl, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're
planning your trip. I hope that you have a truly magical vacation this
fall!
Missy
