Hello There Teresa,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I have a large family, so I love the value of the
Disney Dining Plan, especially when booking Character Dining Experiences or Signature Dining. It's also great to have the option of different Plans since during each of our visits we like to try new Restaurants, so we need a Plan that fits with those particular Dining Experiences.
Unfortunately, at this time, the dates for the 2016 Disney Dining Plan "Free Dining" promotion have not yet been released. If there are plans to offer this promotion in the Spring, then it should be announced very soon. Be sure to check the
Special Offers page and the
Disney Parks Blog frequently for any updates or announcements. Third-party websites like Disneytouristblog.com and Mousesavers.com post Dining Plan offers too so you may want to check them for updates and information as well.
I hope this answer helps you plan your visit. Please come back and visit us again if you have any additional vacation planning questions!
Magical Wishes,
Susan
