"Free Dining Plan 2007" Semi-Rumour
This just in .......
Rumor central has it that the free dining plan will be offered this year for WDW visits between 8/26 - 9/22. According to semi-reliable sources, this will be avaiable for trips booked between 4/12 and 6/24.
But it is just a rumor...wait for an official announcment before contacting your freindly Disney travel agent!

Here's hoping they are 3 for 3, we have had the free DDP the past 2 years and it is great. We have our room booked at Pop already for September so we are just waiting to hear the good news. Melissa at YMJ will look after us as soon as something is announced.

Well, since we want to go in Oct, I'm hoping they do it so it will draw the "fall guests" to go go in Sept so that maybe a few less will be there in Oct!
While its great that its free, we like the flexibility of doing what we want and we won't be there long enough to sit down every day.
I hope its there!

yeah im torn. for a few yrs i went in Sept wo dining. im trying the dining plan in May for my trip for the first time. but i would much rather have cheaper rooms than free dining methinks, as i dont eat as much as it would include and id like to b able to afford WL or such.
then again i am thinking about end of Sept beginning Oct to try the F&W fest again, so free dining may draw more earlier as stated in the previous post......

Ugh. I was really hoping that Disney would skip the free dining this year. DH and I have been planning our trip this September for almost a year now and I was really looking forward to going during (what is supposed to be) one of the 'least crowded' times of the year. I'm not trying to offend anyone here who is hoping for free dining, I was just looking forward to a less crowded time - especially at the restaurants.
See You Real Soon!

We've been hoping the same thing.

I feel the exact same way. I was hoping for no free dining and higher AP discounts instead. This could be especially bad if free dining is only offered for a four week period like this rumor says - things could be even more crowded than years past for these weeks.

We have gone the last 2 years during this time. Yes, some of the restaurants were pretty busy. The good news it the parks seem to be pretty empty to us.
We have never done WDW during peak times, but having been to Disneyland on days when they quit letting people in the park, I believe I have an idea of how crowded it can get during peak times.
The longest waits were around 30 minutes for Expedition Everest. Others were 10 minutes or under. Many of them being less than 5.
Know this doesnt help for the restaurant part... but at least when your playing, the crowds are not that bad! IMHO
Disneyland: many, MANY times!

I just saw this posted on {another site}, too. I'm in the middle of helping my dad plan a trip for my sister, BIL, and their three girls (first trip for the girls!) and we were hoping the free dining would be offered.
Hmmmm, if it is offered, maybe I can talk DH into going back this year too...

Does the rumor mill state whether more than a one day base ticket will be required?

Time Span
I had a question about the timing, we are going down for our Honeymoon, 9/16-9/26 could I get it for the whole time I am there because my check in time is before it expires or would it expire on the 22nd at the end of the offer?

I'm hoping it comes about, too! I'm paying for my son and friend to go to WDW in August as a bribe...I mean a "thank you for getting excellent grades his first year of college.
This will save a lot of cash for me...tuition is already enough! " Karen at MJ is on the lookout and will make the change to the reservation as soon as this fabulous deal becomes available!

To those worried about the crowds because of Free Dining - they are still very managable, if not down-right light. Maybe everybody is too busy eating...
Free DDP is a good thing, IMO. It gives folks who could not otherwise afford it a chance to Disney "all the way."

More ADR's?
If the free dining plan does come out, do people recommend making more ADR's because the resturants are packed?

PLEASE!!! Only make ADR's for those places you are going to dine on each day! Part of the hassle with making ADR's is that there are a number of people who book more than one restaurant for any given day/night/meal.
If you make an ADR, then someone else cannot book those seats. So, if you book 3 ADR's for the same night, you are effectively keeping 2 other people from booking their ADR.
