Free Dining Announced

"Disney's Visa cardholders can get a free Disney Dining Plan for travel dates of 9/2/13 " 9/25/13. You must purchase a package that includes a minimum of 3 nights accommodation at a Disney Resort and a minimum 2-day Base Ticket. If you stay at a Disney Value Resort, the Quick Service Dining Plan is free. If you stay at a Disney Moderate or Deluxe Resort, the Basic Dining is free.

You can also upgrade from the Quick Service to the Basic Dining for an additional $19 per adult per night and $3 per night per child. You can also upgrade from the Basic Dining to the Deluxe Dining for an additional $45 per adult per night and $20 per night per child."

Word on the street is that it will be available to the general public on May 9th. I have not seen if they are going to extend the dates into December (w/ blackouts) like they have in the past.

If the timing and other obligations work out right, I'm seriously considering a late-September trip just to get free dining. We've never done the DDP and I'd like to try it for free to see whether I think it would be worth the money on future trips.

When you say open to the public does that mean you won't have to have the Disney Chase Visa Card? We just got back yesterday and I am ready to go back!!

That is correct. They offer it to those who have the Chase card first and then open it up to the general public.

I moved our mid October trip to the end of September just so that we could take advantage of the free dining. We are all about trying new table services meals this trip so this was perfect for us!!!!!

Your staying in a Moderate or Deluxe resort right? They get the standard or "plus" dining plan.
Value resorts get the Quick service plan.
