DISNEY WORLD FALL 2013 FREE DINING DEAL
As expected, Walt Disney World announced today a free dining deal good for most arrival dates from September 2 through September 25. You need to book this deal by July 31.
Savings vary by resort, and not resort hotels are included in the deal.
Here’s the basics of what’s available:
Deluxes, Disney Vacation Club, and Moderates:
- Free “regular” dining plan, which gives you credits for one table-service meal, one quick-service meal, and one snack per night of your hotel stay.
Values:
- Free “quick service” dining plan, which gives you credits for two quick-service meals and a snack per night of your hotel stay.
For more on the dining plan, including how/when you can use these credits, see this.
The best-loved dining venues will book very quickly, so make your dining reservations as soon as you can! See this for ideas, and also this.
While I’m widely booed for saying so, I expect this to be the only free dining offer for US residents in 2013. For why, see this.
Oh, well, gotta call em as I see em! And at least I’ll get a free breakfast out of this!
For more, see Disney’s page on this deal here.
Also today Disney World announced a room rate deal covering most arrival dates August 15 through September 28
Many smaller families aimed at more expensive hotels will save more with the room rate deal than with the free dining deal. See this for more on this room rate deal.

That link doesn’t work…but I’m assuming it’s for an actual “Disneyworld package”? The one I came up with was just by doing a “Flight + Hotel” vacation package to Orlando and it gave the option to add free dining when I chose a Disney resort, but let me go through the process without requiring a ticket purchase (even though it said “Free Dining w/ Ticket Purchase”.
Oddly enough, I just tried to replicate it and they’re not offering any Disney resorts anymore. They were just there yesterday. Ah well….guess that makes it a moot point now. 😛
Thanks, Steve!
Hi Adrienne,
I’ve not heard of this either. Dave’s third paragraph is spot on.
Just did a google, is this it? http://www.southwestvacations.com/Deals/Package.aspx?onsaleid=2740752
THis one does say “Book a flight + hotel + MAGIC YOUR WAY® Ticket package for 5 or more nights,” which includes tickets.
Adrienne, I don’t track packages offered by third parties like Southwest, so can’t comment on the specifics–I doubt Steve does either.
If, though, you truly don’t have to buy tickets at all, ever, to get this deal–which, honestly, strikes me as really odd–then yes you can get the military tix.
In your shoes I’d either work with a travel agent to make sure all sides of the deal are clear, or not buy the Military Salute tix til after your check-in and confirmation that you have the dining plan without the need to buy tix…

I realize this may be more of a question for Steve, but….I came across a package deal from Southwest that includes lodging at CBR, free dining, and airfare. They do not require that I buy the park tickets with the deal, so would I be able to buy the Military Salute tickets seperately, or would they require some sort of proof that I bought the full-price tickets before activating the free dining?
