It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Cindy!
I'm so glad that you've come here today to ask about two of my favorite things: the
Disney Dining Plan and scoring a
great deal. Sometimes we get really lucky and those two things can go together, so let's have a look at this year's
Free Dine offer and how it worked out in September 2019.
This year, guests booking qualifying vacation packages beginning on select arrival dates in September, November, and December have the opportunity to add a complimentary Disney Dining Plan to their trip. This promotion has happened pretty regularly in the past and guests really look forward to it popping up again because of the kind of savings that it offers. For arrival dates between September 1 and September 18 this year, the Free Dine promotion was offered at pretty much every
Walt Disney World Resort Hotel. Every
Disney Deluxe Resort Hotel was eligible and all of the
Disney Moderate Resort Hotels participated with the exception of
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter and
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside. As for
Disney Value Resort Hotels, the Family Suites at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort were eligible for the Free Dine offer from September 1 through September 18 of this year, with
Disney's All-Star Music Resort,
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, and
Disney's Pop Century Resort participating for select arrival dates in November and December. If you're interested in booking a last-minute trip for this year, maybe to come see Walt Disney World Resort for the
holiday season, the Free Dine offer is available for booking until September 29 so you still have a few more days left to decide!
I hope this answers your question, Cindy, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
