Hi Mark,
Thanks so much for your question, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
One of my family's favorite times to vacation at Walt Disney World is during a free dining promotion. Not only are the savings great, but we love the delicious dining options. While free dining has been regularly offered in September in recent years, there's never a guarantee it will be available again in future years. That being said, we can look at information from previous years to make a guess as to when they might release more information on the September offers. Historically speaking, September's free dining offers have been released around May. My best recommendation is to check the
Special Offers page of the
Walt Disney World website regularly for updates. Even if free dining is not available, another great offer might be available for your trip dates.
Another great resource on this subject is the www.mousesavers.com website. Just search for "historical discounts" and you'll be able to find a page listing past release dates for free dining and other special offers.
I hope this helps with your vacation planning, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Beth
