DISNEY WORLD FREE DINING
As I posted yesterday, the current forecast is that Free Dining will come out for Disney Visa holders on May 1, and for the general public on May 7–not May 5.
But this is a forecast, not carved in stone. To keep up with what actually happens–in case, for example, it does come out May 5!–I suggest doing two things:
- First, sign up for email notification about free dining from my friends at Destinations in Florida. Click this link, fill out the form, reply to the confirmatory email, and you are set!
- Second, check this thread (click “last page”) every morning. If things happens sooner than expected, you’ll find out quickly there–any news will show up right after 7a eastern.
Word is that the Brazilian deal will include the following eligible arrival dates, and thus so too might the general public deal:
- 8/31 to 10/03
- 10/26 to 11/1
- 11/9 to 11/20 and
- 12/12 to 12/23
Treat these as forecasts, too. General public offers are often hairier than Brazilian ones. The US offer may be the same; it may be only for the late August-early October dates; it may be for all these basic date blocks, but with slightly different start or end dates; or it may be something entirely different.

Mary, no, you can only get the dining plan at Disney owned and operated resorts, so not at Swan or Dolphin.
Someday, Heidi, I will be right on something…!
Hi Dave,
Would you change your resort ranking taking into consideration the free dinning in september?
For example, the mermaid room at AoA will likely not be included and if you stay at pop you´de have to pay to upgrade to the dinning plan that´s needed to follow your itinerary. It seems like Caribbean resort would end up costing about the same as pop. This question is for a first time visitor with a 8 year old daughter. Thanks for you thoughts.
Can you purchase any of the Dining Plans if you are staying at the Dolphin or Swan? Can’t find an answer to this anywhere on line. Thanks. Your site is wonderful!
Ashley and I have a Girls’ Only Trip planned in November, so we’re anxiously awaiting this news! Loving the projected dates as they fit perfectly with our plans. 🙂 It’s hard to believe that last year you were predicting that Free Dining would disappear and it’s still hanging around.
