Walt Disney World Free Dining Promotion for August 25 - September 29, 2012

Yea! Disney's Free Disney Dining Plan Promotion is back for 2012 and we've got all the details for you.

To qualify, your package had to include:
* A reservation for at least 3 nights at a Walt Disney World Resort Hotel with arrivals falling within the following dates:

August 25 - September 29, 2012

Remember that qualification is based upon your arrival date, your whole vacation does not need to fit within the above dates to qualify for the free dining promotion. For example, If you were to arrive on August 24th, you would not qualify for free dining even though most of your vacation falls within the qualifying time period. If you arrived on September 29th, you would qualify for free dining for the full length of your vacation even though that is the very last arrival date that free dining is offered. Call if this information is confusing - we'll be happy to look at your travel dates.

* 2-day (or longer) Walt Disney World Magic Your Way Base Ticket. You can upgrade to the "Park hopper" or the "Water Park Fun & More" tickets (additional cost)

* You must pay the $200 deposit at the time of booking to qualify for this promotion. The deposit is fully refundable up to 46 days prior to arrival.

Guests staying at a Disney Value Resort receive the Quick Service Dining Plan for free. You may upgrade to the Standard (plus) or Deluxe Disney Dining Plans by simply paying the difference between the quick service plan (received free) and the plan of your choice.

Guests staying at Disney Moderate, Deluxe, and Deluxe Villas get the Standard (Plus) dining Plan for Free.

This promotion had to be booked by May 18, 2012.

A Few More Details about Walt Disney World Resort Free Dining Promotion

Free Disney World Meal Plan Promotion

Sit-down meals and quick bites are all available with the Disney Dining PlanBook a qualifying vacation package at a Disney moderate or deluxe resort to receive the Standard / Plus Dining Plan at no extra cost. This dining plan includes 1 counter-service meal credit, 1 table-service meal credit, and 1 snack credit per person, per night of stay. Receiving this dining plan free of charge saves a family of four about $107 per night of stay, based on the regular cost of this dining plan. Those who qualify for the promotion can upgrade to the Deluxe dining plan and just pay the difference between the standard and the deluxe plans. Contact us for details.

Those who book a qualifying vacation package at a Disney Value Resort (All-Star or Pop Century resorts) received the Disney Quick-Service Dining plan at no extra cost. The quick-service plan provides two quick/counter-service meals + 1 snack per person, per night of stay. Receiving this plan at no extra cost saves a family of four about $85 per night of stay. Those who qualify for the promotion can upgrade to the Standard or Deluxe dining plans by paying the difference between the quick service dining plan and the preferred dining plan. Contact us for details.

* There are a limited number of promotional packages available at each resort.

* You must pay the $200 deposit at the time of booking with the balance due 45 days prior to arrival. The deposit is completely refundable up to 46 days prior to arrival.

* Suites and campsites are excluded from these offers. The Cabins at the Fort Wilderness campground are included in the promotion.

* If you do not have us book this for you, be sure to tell the booking agent that you want the free dining promotion. They do not automatically apply promotions to new or existing reservations - you must specifically ask for the discount.

* Existing reservations that fall within these days can be altered (subject to availability) to reflect the free Disney World Meal Plan promotion. It is necessary to call and ask to have the discount applied - it will not happen automatically.

* Trip Insurance - Some of travel dates for this promotion fall within winter weather or Florida's hurricane season; consider purchasing trip insurance (either through Disney, your airline, or another insurance provider), especially if you have non-refundable, non-transferable airline tickets. Trip insurance is not usually a good value if you are driving.

* Dining Reservations - Book your dining reservations as soon as you are eligible (180 days prior to arrival). The free dining promotion has a serious impact on the number of available dining reservations and some restaurants may already be fully booked at certain times. Remember that we book dining reservations on your behalf (subject to availability) when you book your Disney vacation through Build A Better Mouse Trip.

* In addition to the free dining promotions, you can receive vacation planning help at no additional cost when you book your Disney vacation through Build A Better Mouse Trip. We help with establishing a "Best Days" itinerary, help with dining reservations, and provide either a subscription to www.tourguidemike.com, www.touringplans.com, or an Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World (guidebook) to help you with touring plans that keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the long lines. Contact us today to book your vacation.

Disney Destinations Free Dining PIN code

Disney Destinations has been sending some people an email with a PIN code for free dining during select dates. These PIN codes are not for the general public and they are non-transferrable. No one seems to know exactly how Disney decides who receives a PIN code but requesting a free vacation planning video from http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/ seems to help.
