You can get FREE dining when you book a full price Walt Disney World vacation package for check-ins most nights August 15 – October 7, October 22-October 28, November 12-18, November 27 – December 2, and December 10-21, 2010.

To qualify, you must purchase a vacation package that includes at least 3 consecutive hotel nights at an official Walt Disney World resort, plus at least a 2-day theme park ticket.

With this offer:

• Stay in a Disney Value Resort and and get the Magic Your Way Plus Quick Service Dining package for the price of a regular Magic Your Way package. This deal saves a family of four (2 adults, two kids ages 3-9) about $84/per day.
• Stay in a Disney Moderate, Deluxe or Deluxe Villas Resort and get the Magic Your Way Plus Dining package for the price of a regular Magic Your Way package. This deal saves a family of four (2 adults, two kids ages 3-9)  about $108/per day — the cost of adding the regular Dining Plan to a basic vacation package.

If you are staying in a Value Resort, you can upgrade to the regular Dining Plan for just $10 per adult per night and $2 per child age 3-9 per night. (This represents the usual price difference between the Quick Service Dining Plan and the regular Dining Plan.) 

We upgraded from the Quick Service Dining Plan to the table service plan. Although I didn’t ask the price, I do know that we still saved just over $400 from what we were paying prior to the special being announced. After doing the math, for us, it’s like getting the Regular Dining Plan at 50% off. I looked at our dining reservations to see if we would be better off doing Quick Dining (free) and paying out of pocket for our reservations. No way. We’re going to break even on Day 4 and eat free on days 5 & 6.

Some important advice if you book a “FREE Dining” package:

• Be sure to set up Advance Dining Reservations as soon as possible. In past years all of the table service restaurants have been completely full during the “FREE Dining” promotion period. It was almost impossible to get a table for a full-service meal on a walk-up basis. To ensure that you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the Dining Plan, you really need to pre-reserve every single table service meal during your stay.

You must book this offer by 8/14/10. The number of packages available is limited. Excludes gratuities and alcoholic beverages. Some table service restaurants may have limited or no availability at time of package purchase.
