As predicted, Walt Disney World has released fall 2013 deals for free dining and for room-only discount rates.
Disney’s page on the free dining deal at Disney World is here, and its page on the room-only discount is here.
The specifics are pretty much as predicted, but I don’t have all the details yet. I’ll add to and correct this page as they emerge.

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to say first that your website is fantastic and so helpful in planning my family’s first WDW trip!
We are booked at AoA because we are 7 in the family. Do you think that they will eventually include free dining for AoA later on? I’m hoping/thinking that maybe they are trying to fill up the vacancies in the other resorts first and then will release free dining to AoA.
Hey Dave, I was just wondering why you think they aren’t offering the free dining the week after Thanksgiving (12/2-12/7). Being that that week is known for lower crowds, I find it interesting as to why they didn’t offer the FD. What’s your opinion?
Thanks! I will check that out.
Angela, it varies by your exact dates and what view you’ve selected, but most of the time the least expensive Poly rooms are on the order of twice the cost of of the Royal Rooms, so you’d need a 50% discount on the Poly to save anything–which is not gonna happen.
The Wilderness Lodge might be an alternative for you as rack rates are $150/night less than the poly…
