We're planning to visit Disney World in the first week of October. I know that Disney does deals at intervals during the year, especially given the current economy. For example, we saw one recently that said that guests staying at a Disney resort for a certain number of nights could receive a free Disney gift card (of significant value). I also know in the past they've done other promotions for certain periods of time. Right now it seems like everything goes up through June or July. So i was wondering if anyone knew when deals covering October are typically released to the public? And if that gift card is something that happens in that period. I want to stay in the Yacht Club so getting a $750 would help the costs immensely. (For that matter, whatever deal I can get would help.)

I've never really been a "coupon cutter" with Disney vacations as I always depended on other people's planning prowess. So I appreciate the help!

Usually in the fall there is free dining.
In years past they have announced fall deals at the very end of March, beginning of April.
If you go to MouseSavers.com - Disney Discount Source - Disney World Discounts, Disneyland Discounts, Disney Cruise Discounts you can find out the deals right when they come out.

Yes I agree with the above commentator that in years past they have announced fall deals. However if you want Disney tour’s best deals I have also found best Disney World tour packages detail.

Disney Tickets - Orlando attractions - Disney Cruises
Disney World - The Largest Unofficial On-Line Guide to Disney World, Walt Disney World

the offers in the UK for WDW are released earlier, we have already booked for Oct with free Disney Dining so i would say its almost certain there will be offers.
Here is a link to the UK WDW booking website
Walt Disney World - Ticket, Resort, Holiday Deals & Special Offers - Official Site
It might not work though, if i use a link to the US site it automatically bumps me back to the UK, i have to go to their home page and there is normally a little drop down bar that lets me swap to the US site, maybe you could swap to the UK site and find the offers that are already out for Oct that way? It could give you an idea of what could be coming up soon.
Hope it helps x

Thanks gang. I've always wondered about the free dining. There really isn't any hitches? (Other than staying for a certain length of time at a Disney hotel, neither of which was going to be an issue.)
