Update: or maybe May 7?
My buddy Joe Black is now forecasting that Free Dining for September 2014 will open to the general public for booking on Monday May 5.
(For the full scoop on free dining, see this.)
This is still just a forecast, and may be wrong. But Joe thinks that Free Dining will open then, will likely open a bit earlier for Disney Visa cardholders, will have eligible arrival dates from late August into September, and may extend well into September. As usual, certain resorts and room types will be excluded.
Joe also think that there will be additional free dining for later in 2014, to be announced mid-summer. This last bit is a reversal of predictions that he and I co-authored late last year…and no one would be happier to be wrong!

Patty Ann–see this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2014/04/16/the-best-ever-free-dining-faq-in-the-history-of-the-world/
If I book something in September – the on-site resort room and park tickets and then Disney offers the “free” dining plan, can I qualify for it or do I have to cancel my original reservations and rebook them with the free dining plan?
Michelle do you mean “how big are the rooms” (tiny…) or “how big and hard to get around is the resort?”–Pop is much more convenient and compact than CBR. For more on the two see the reviews linked to from here: http://yourfirstvisit.net/2010/04/26/walt-disney-world-resort-hotel-reviews/
Hi Dave! how big is the pop compared to CBR? We are thinking of booking a value vs a mod if there is no free dining (would be 600 less) … we will have a car if that matters. AoA LM rooms are already sold out so Pop would be ok for 3 adults, 1 kid, and 1 baby?
