Disney dining question- swan and dolphin

Can you get the Disney dining plans in either of these hotels?

If so, if the free dining plan comes out for fall are the usually included in the deal?

Re: Disney dining question

Not sure because you didn't list any of the hotels - but you can get it at any of the disney on site hotels (I know you can get some disney amenities at swan and dophin but no charging privileges and I don't think you can get the dining plan there but honestly I have never looked into it). So any of the values, moderates, deluxes, and villas are included.

As far as IF it will come out - I believe they have had free dining for the past 7 or 8 years. It usually comes out around March (right now deals are through part of June and you can book until 2/28 - so I would expect it would come out sometime after that. It could be released as late as May though - you just never know - but since it is hurricane season and kids going back to school it tends to be slower time and that is when they would probably offer it.

The other thing you can do is go to the WDW website, register, order the free trip planning dvd, and price out some trips, save them and go back and delete and price out some more. For some reason these actions tend to trigger something that gets many people private codes. We never get them but most of our friends do. They range from %off room only to I have seen people posting on disboards either free dining or free quick service dining (you can pay to upgrade to regular dining plan so it at least some of a discount). You can always book with the private discount and if something better comes out switch to that.

I'm def going to take your advice about saving the vacation

Thanks again
