Hi. We did free dining for the first time in 2006, and plan to do it again in 2009. I now have a Disney Visa, so I will wait for my code, but I never thougt about booking before the code comes out, to get what we want. Great question. Hope you get some response.Hello!
Great topic everyone! I am planning a my first trip to WDW with my 7 year old daughter for late August of 2009. As a single mom, free dining would be incredibly helpful! Can someone outline the best steps I should take in order to be eligible to book free dining? For example, do I need to sign up for the Disney Visa Card? We are doing a Land and Sea plan (but booking the Land and Sea separately from one another), should I book my hotel now, or wait until April when the Free Dining offer comes out?
As a WDW newbie, any guidance is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Lori

My recommendation is as follows..
Book the reservation with everyone in the room getting a 1 day base ticket (the minimum allowed for free dining)
Upon arrival, upgrade the kids ticket to whatever length of stay you need and ask the concierge desk to put the tickets for you and your wife on separate media.
Save those 1 day passes til your AP renews and you can put one ticket against each AP renewal.

Free dine will be offered for 09. Those checking in to free dine 08 will be able to book bouncebacks for late august to early october 09
Can someone educate me on what "bouncebacks" are? Is it scheduling free dining for next year way in advance? We're going in Nov for our first free dining trip, and want to be prepared if we're asked to book for next year!
Thanks!
Hello, hoping someone can give me some guidance/advice!!
I have looked/read through so many threads trying to figure out how the free dining might work for me.
We are going in Nov for 3 nights,we are seasonal passholders and I currently have a discount code for the hotel stay, we are staying in a moderate. Does anyone know if or how we can acquire the free dining, family of 4 (2a/2c)??
Thanks so much!
The real savings on the Free Dining come if you're staying in a Value resort. Often a room discount on a moderate or deluxe resort will save you more money than the Free Dining does...
