Hi there, Josh!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I love to talk
Disney dining so my mouth is already watering thinking about all the delicious options offered throughout the
Walt Disney World Resort! An even better topic than Disney dining is FREE Disney dining! It sounds like you've done your homework and discovered Free Disney dining has been offered in the past around the time you are planning to visit in 2017. If this offer becomes available for your vacation next year, it is definitely something to consider for your family. The good news I have for you is that as long as you check-in by the final day of Free Dining, you'll receive this promotion throughout your stay. I do recommend booking your
Magic Your Way vacation package and
advanced dining reservations early and adding the promotion once it comes out if available. Free Dining is very popular so it's smart to have plans in place beforehand because resort and restaurant reservations will book up faster than Lightning McQueen!
Josh, while you look forward to your visit next year be sure to check out all the
Disney Dining Plan options, and let us know if you have any further questions.
You'll be surprised at how the next year will fly by, and you'll be enjoying the
holidays at the Walt Disney World Resort in no time!
Have a magical day and happy planning!
Nancy
