My wife and I are planning our third trip to Disney for this coming September. We went for our honeymoon in Sept of '06 and they were doing the dining plan for free with on property stays. We went again this past March and obviously they weren't.

Is the free dining plan something that happens every september? i.e. should I just hold off on booking until they announce it? Or Was that a one time thing?

I feel like a bit of a fool. Was looking in the wrong area for the info prior to now. From what I see about 2009's free dining they announce it in late spring/early summer and it seems to be a yearly thing. Sorry to have wasted anyones time!

It has been a yearly thing for a few years running now, but there is never a guarantee that it's going to continue. I would venture to guess that until the economy starts to turn around that they will continue to offer it. I certainly hope they do because our family has been loving taking advantage of it.

Good luck!

No waste of time. It has been annual, but of course is subject to change. Best to keeping checking back as the dates get closer to wee what deals are available after initial booking. MEI, I beloeive does that for you if you use their service.
