FDP AFTER 10/3? Anyone know? We're going 10/7-10/12. Would really like to know before we book ressies. IF I book ressies now, with paid DP, can I change later if FDP becomes available? Thanks!!
Yes, you've always been able to check in on the last day of the free dining promotion and receive the discount for your entire stay - up to 14 days.Can you change the dates of your trip to start on 10/3? As long as you are there on 10/3 you can still get the FDP for the remainder of your trip.
Based on what my travel agent informed me, the free Disney Dining Package is only thru October 3. She said that it will not be extended this year and 10-3 is when we needed to end our trip. I hope she is correct, I really wanted to travel later, but the savings now is great. We are going 9/23 thru 9/28. I guess I can make my adr's on June 23rd.......Hopefully I can get the restuarants that I want.
Since the 2005, when WDW first introduced the Free Dining promo, you have been able to check in on the last day of the offer and receive the free dining discount for your entire stay, up to 14 days. So technically you could check in on October 3 and have the free dining discount through October 17. As for the free dining offer being "extended." It wasn't extended last year either. There were people who received the select free dining email pin codes for last fall and early winter and then Disney Visa offered those same select dates to their card holders, but that was it. There was no free dining offer for the general public past the first of October last year.Based on what my travel agent informed me, the free Disney Dining Package is only thru October 3.

There's been no announcement of any Disney Visa Free Dining offers for late fall early winter this year. Last year's dates were December 14 - 21, 2008.Your post:

What is 'early winter'?. Does it extend through the first 2 or 3 weeks of December?
Since I have a Disney Visa card I was interested in 'late fall early winter' and the free dining being offered to Disney Visa holders.
We plan to visit WDW in early 12/2010. The Disney Dining Plan will be part of our trip, but 'free' dining would be better.
It's always good to dream!Thank you for the info. This is the first time I've heard of the DDP being offered free in December. Now we can dream of free meals, even if it doesn't happen.
