Hi Janice! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. The coveted
"Free" Disney Dining Plan is one of the most anticipated events for guests!
No official dates have been announced for 2016. To be eligible for the current free dining offer you'll need to book by August 7, 2015 for the following arrival l dates at select Walt Disney Resort hotels:
August 15 – October 2, 2015
October 25 – October 31, 2015
November 8 – November 19, 2015
December 15 – December 21, 2015
The Magic Your Way tickets expire 14 days from the the first day that you use them, so you should have no trouble saving them for a later visit - just be sure to confirm the expiry date. Make sure to link your tickets in your
My Disney Experience account and they'lll stay connected until they are fully used up.
I hope that helps answer your question, and wish you a magical visit to Walt Disney World Resort.
