Hakuna Matata “a problem free philosophy”…
If your morning hasn’t been problem free because you’ve been on hold with Disney since the wee hours of the morning, fret not…so has everyone else. If you really want your trip to be worry free, find a travel agent and let them sit on hold for you; it’s what we do…we revel in it.
Now that the gossip and rumors have come true it’s up to us to sort through all of that and find the official news (and dates) from Disney, and as of this morning here they are:

Thanks to you I saved $600 on our December trip to DW!! I saw your post on FB and we were already booked to arrive on December 17!! I called later that afternoon after seeing how long others had been waiting and changed our reservations to include free dinning!!! Now we can afford to add $600 worth of extra things to our trip…we may even stay a few more days!
What are you waiting for Lynn! At least check the pricing….you might be surprised! I’m more than happy to help you if you like 🙂
That’s a bummer Lisa, sorry to hear that! if ANY of your dates fall within the free dining offer you could always book a split reservation to take advantage of at least a portion of it!
You are very welcome! The Disney call center is extremely overwhelmed with calls, so if you don’t get through right away, don’t be discouraged. Better yet, have a travel agent do your booking then you won’t have to waste anytime waiting on the phone and listening to the same songs for hours on end!
I was thinking of you yesterday Karen and even ran updated totals for you. Tell your family to get on board! Tempt them with yummy Mickey rice krispie treats!
Thank you for this! Now we can start planning our next trip! I’m glad they brought it back!
The good news is that the free dining starts while we are there on vacation. The bad news is that we can’t take advantage of it 🙁 Missed it by two days…..
Free Dining is awesome. Would love to be able to go back Dec. 11-17.
Such a shame we promised ourselves we would not go to WDW next year and have already been twice this year.
Having the dining plan while at WDW is truly a “hakuna matata” experience in & of itself. Having free dining is true bliss! More evidence that Disney truly listens to their guests….
Free Dining is taunting me. The dates I want to go to Disney are included alas the family has complicated things. So I’m worried if we delay our trip to next fall… we won’t have free dining.
Thanks for sharing! I love free dining! But, like last year they have left my October dates out…
It is great about the free dining plan. However, I wish it was when I hope to be there.
SO I finally realized that my upcoming trip is not covered by the dinning plan. For some odd reason this AM I though it was 2012 not 2011 (total blonde moment ughh). Is there anyway I could still get the free landyard if my trip is booked and paid ? We are leaving on Sept 2nd (my daughter and I)
