Free dining release time

Sorry if this is answered in one of the many other threads (I couldn’t see that it was anywhere)

Any ideas what time the Disney direct website will go live with the free dining offer tomorrow. Is it a 12.01 job or gradual throughout the morning?

From memory, there isn’t a set time, or at least when we have booked before. I’m pretty certain I managed to book late at night the day before the official release once and at about 11am last year.

Ow wow, sounds like it’s going to be an even longer night than I planned 😂

is there a reason to book immediately? are there limited places or something?

You shouldn't need to book immediately - if previous years are to go off the availability changes throughout the offer window anyway. We managed to get SSR late on a couple of years ago.

There is limited availability, the issue being we don’t know how limited it will be.

In previous years it’s taken at least a few days for certain room types to sell out, so even with the rumoured availability issues for this year it’s probably not going to sell out within hours.

That being said we have very specific dates and room types we need (plus I have to start work at 9!) so I’ll personally be checking as early as possible!
