Has free dining gone ?

Looked last night and again today and it’s charging for dining plan at moderate hotels. Is this happening to anyone else?

The free DDP is still available, but it is only available for certain room categories. Some room categories are excluded at some of the moderate resorts. For example at POR it isn't available for standard rooms, Coronado Springs its available for Preferred Rooms, but not for Water View

The offer is on until 5th November 2019. The standard rooms at CSR were included but now it's the preferred - there are only so many rooms that are allocated for the dining plans so the offer is subject to availability.

It isn’t on for certain dates in April over Easter.

its still available to book subject to availability but there are lots more restrictions for next year on which rooms it applies to plus it ends in September 2020 no free dining for oct or nov like there usually is.

I've seen quite a few mentions of no or little availability esp around more popular dates so it does look like the restrictions have had a big impact on what is available.

The offer is valid for arrivals up to the 3rd October 2020.

Definitely less availability for our dates then there was a few days ago (I check in practically every day in the hope of getting a standard room in the tower at CSR). Quite a few room types no longer available.
