Mobile Free Dining offer date?

Would anyone like to make an educated guess what date Free Dining will be released. I’ve got a feeling it’s towards the end of April. Unfortunately I’ve just realised we’re away in the caravan 24th - 27th April with limited if any wi-fi🥺.

My educated guess will be 23/04/20. They usually release on a Thursday and it's mostly been the latter end of the month. I think the lats Thursday is the 30th but that feels too late.

Fingers crossed for you

Remember the phone queues last year - it was crazy popular. Half of the UK must have been booking!

I think it will be during the week of 20th April. If you are away I really would not worry about it, there is no need to book free dining on the day it is released, it will be available for a good six months thereafter.

Or they have a very limited number of telephone operatives...

If you were keen to book early, I seem to recall Attraction Tickets (previously Direct...) were offering an early pre-booking service last year, with an added $100 incentive. But as other have said there's really no need to book on the very first day; in fact I waited a few weeks last year, and only then the rooms we wanted at CSR became available.

I have booked months into the free dining offer to no ill effect. I understand that people are waiting for their ADR or FP day on the dot, but I am gobsmacked that people would be waiting for free dining offer on the dot, it never occurred to me.

It's usually the Thursday of the 3rd week of April. I booked on the day last year. I suppose you don't know what the offer is going to be this year or it 's going to be more limited than previous years.

Arguably, if one's dates are very restricted, or they are perhaps keen on a particular resort, or limited to a particular class rooms due to budget issues, than there's little point in delaying. There is clearly a healthy dosage of hype/excitement surrounding the free dining offer, and that's okay too - and perhaps part of the fun for some. That said, I'm glad I didn't rush to book last year since availably of moderate standard rooms was very limited on release, and did improve later on (Disney were obviously keen to get certain categories of rooms booked before they released some more standard rooms).
