Disney World Free Dining for the General Public to Come Out in Early August?

FREE DINING AT DISNEY WORLD FOR THE REST OF 2013

Crack insider the “Mysterious J” emailed me last night to let me know that a free dining deal for the rest of 2013 at Disney World for visits booked from Europe and South America will come out on August 1st.  

Disney World 2013 Free DiningThis deal will have book-by dates of November 15, and will cover arrival dates of

  • September 29 to October 2, 2013
  • October 18 to November 2, 2013
  • November 11 to November 23, 2013
  • December 12 to December 22, 2013

At or near the same time, a room rate deal will come out as well.

The “Mysterious J” has given me the heads up on such items weeks before they appear before, and has never yet been wrong.

Moreover, what typically happens is that these deals come out outside the US first, and then soon get released for the North American general public.

So this news bodes really, really well for general public free dining to come out in early August as well!

I’ve been frankly skeptical about such a deal and am oh so glad that it appears that my forecasts of no more general public free dining in 2013 might be wrong!!!

In general, any date that always has enough bookings for any reason at all will be blacked out. Even small holidays and events like Pop Warner will give them plenty of reason NOT to have to offer any special deals.

If you have already booked for these dates Disney will NOT just automatically change you to the free dining deal. A travel agent WILL do that for you if you have booked with one, but if you booked with Disney you will have to call and make the change. The deal always says “only a certain number of rooms available with this offer” so you may have to change to a different room category or even a different resort. The phone lines will be crazy, be prepared to call as soon as they open and be on hold a long… Read more »

Bridgette, Dawn, etc.: I’m excited too! But this is still just a “might” happen, not a “will” happen! John, Steven’s Pelletier, Paula, Carrie, Lori, Kel etc.: I can’t fully explain why Disney includes or excludes certain dates. In theory, it’ll exclude dates when it projects enough demand or willingness to pay that it can meet its goals without discounts (thus Pop Warner week and the fall break weeks of early October being out, as they have been out in past years)—or simply because the restaurants are already booked up from prior pin code releases (this is what I’m guessing happened… Read more »

We currently have a vacation booked sept 28- oct 6 based on the info you provided since we are not arriving on sept 29 we will not be able to take advantage of this is that correct? I am waiting on the military discounts to be released also. But if I am figuring correctly this would be better. We already have the room and dining booked for 3 adults 2 kids
