Come celebrate FREE dining with me!!!

[laceemouse]

We homeschool. But this is the last year that our oldest will be at home and after he goes to high school next year, it will get a whole lot more complicated to try a Disney trip! So this is THE YEAR for us!!

We homeschool too, even for high school, but we do have a lot of outside activities and classes the kids don't want to miss. Fortunately, those things do not meet the week of Labor Day so that is when we are going! YES!!!

Congrats to all who got free dining

We were on DDP last week and just loved it. Wow if it was free....whoooh what a savings.

But have to ask the ????

To all of you who booked in September with Kids. Are your children not of school age or are you planning on just taking them out of school?

I was just dreaming that in 2 yrs my kids will be out of high school and I will have no restraints as to what time I can visit the world

But then again..............I won't have kids to go with .....and I will miss that alot

I will be pulling all 3 of mine out of school...prinicpal already ok'd it

I so agree, it is a really difficult personal decision...the time goes so fast...every year since the kids were in elementary school I have worried about pulling them out of school for a few days to go on vacation...Here we are with my 2 oldest in HS and I am still pulling them for vacation. We are fortunate that they hold their own in school and don't miss days due to sickness. For us, I wouldn't take them out for more than 2-3 days at the most...It is a lot of stress on the kids to make up the work. Our district is strict, but not like some of the others I have read about...

But, the boys still talk about the vacation memories they have and I think it has made us closer as a family. So now I justify pulling them because the 2 oldest will be in college before you know it...If only the sports would cooperate!

Yeah, minijeanie, I'll miss it too

I booked FWL December 5th - 12th and I heard that Free Dining was offered in December also is this true? I am new to this free dining bit and was wondering if I should stay tuned for December dates.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if free dining is being offered August 13th through the 23rd.

thanks

I didn't even have to get out of bed to do it! My TA emailed me with confirmation that she had changed it this Am. Since it saved me $400 I emailed her this evening about switching hotels. So am waiting to hear if there is rooms available at either POFQ or CSR with free dining. If so we're switching to them

Last year we had the DDP but had to pay for it--we got there 1 week before free dining started, but due to school schedules we couldn't postpone. Still, we thought DDP was a great deal even though we had to pay for it.

But this year, it's free dining for us! Went to AAA yesterday and booked it. August 26-September 1, Scopa Towers (a/k/a Pop Century). We're fired up!

I just read your entire trip report just now after noticing your link...it is AWESOME! Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to take a vacation to WDW this morning! Also, it is nice to see another KY DISer. We live in Glasgow, KY, which you drove just past on your trip to Disney last fall! I'm so glad you guys will be able to go back to the World this year for free dining and you won't have to wait until 2008 like you thought. The free dining plan is AMAZING! This will be our third year with it and we are trying Pop for the first time this year. Take care, and have fun making that steel-solid plan - I laughed so hard about that b/c we are the same way ! I will be looking forward to another trip report this fall!

Congrats all you guys who got free dining!!

I was lucky enough to get it when I booked last year (when it was offered to UK) so I shall see all you free diners in August

Free dining has never been offered in December. The Bounce Back offer was available to guests who stayed at a WDW resort in December. It allowed guests to book a trip from mid-August to late September with free dining.

Thanks for the kind words! We lived in Bowling Green from 92-95 and I went to Glasgow quite a bit on business. It's a beautiful area.

We begin trip-planning discussions tonight. Hopefully there will be no broken bones or anything.
