Hi Rich, if you mean the free dining for arrivals beginning in late August, in 2011Disney announced and opened this on May 2. If you mean free dining ealrier in the summer, there’s no telling–it was not offered this past summer, and Disney says it is narrowing, not expanding, discounts…
Do you know (or can you guess) when Disney will offer Summer dates for free dining?
Hi Nina, and thanks!
No you can’t. But what you can do is upgrade to the regular dining plan by paying Disney the difference in cost between the two. However before doing that, check to see if the table service stuff you are hoping for is still available–many of the most popuar meals sell out 3-6 months in advance.
Hope this helps and have a great trip!
What a great site! We are planning on arriving January 12th for 5 nights. That entails the free dining package – seeing as we are looking at staying at the Pop Culture hotel it is a quick service package. Can you ‘trade in’ quick service entitlements for table service ‘entitlements’ or character meal entitlements? It does not appear that the table service package qualifies with the value hotel.
Thank you!

Hi Susan–usually you get get the discount for your entire stay so long as you arrive within the window!
