And if the next year is anything like this year (and it probably will be) they won't re-introduce the free dining again once the booking deadline has passed. That means that people willing to pre-plan will get the best deals. Waiting til next year will be TOO LATE - at least for this deal (which is typically their best offer of the year)...
Here's the scoop on the dates and booking deadline... (please note that the dates have changed just a little since Disney first announced them). This is the corrected list.
