Hi Shannon,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. It is very wise to be thinking about
special offers at Walt Disney World. These can often offer great value!
We can never assume that just because Disney has released a special offer in previous years that they will release a similar one this year, and likewise we cannot count on timing. However, using past years as a guide, we can get an idea of when specials may be released. For fall, I would expect specials to be released between now and through the next couple of months. In fact, an offer for a
free dining plan when you book a specific Walt Disney World vacation package has already been released for select dates between August 21 and December 23. If this offer does not meet your needs, I suggest that you check back to the Walt Disney World special offer page that I linked earlier in this answer over the next couple of months to see if anything else is released.
I hope that these thoughts are helpful for you, Shannon. Please do let us know if you have any further questions as you plan your magical vacation!
