Hi Cheryl!
While I don't have any insider information about possible discounts for
later this fall (I wish I did!) or a free dining promotion extension, discounts are often announced
throughout the year.
A good place to keep an eye on is the
Special Offers page
of Walt Disney World. This page lists all of the discounts and
promotions available for Disney World vacations - and some of those
could save you a bundle of money so they are worth keeping a lookout
for!
If you'd like to get a jump start on planning your vacation, you can go
also ahead and reserve your vacation now. Then, if a new discount is
announced, just contact Disney World.
Disney reservationists are almost always able to apply a newly announced
discount or promotion to an existing reservation. As long as the resort
and room type you are interested in is available, you shouldn't have a
problem applying the discount. If your first choice resort is
unavailable for some reason, you are usually given an option to change
rooms or resorts- most often without a charge.
Keep an eye on the Special Offers page of Disneyworld.com and be sure to
call 407-939-7675 (or contact your travel agent) if you see a new
discount announced. Just let them know that you'd like to apply it to
your reservation when you call.
Hope you have fun planning!
