Is there any free dining dates for 2016 available yet? Also, can you use this when you stay with your points at the Disney Vacation Club?
Thanks
Lisa – No, nothing for 2016. Historically, free dining has been released in late April/Early May for the following Fall, so if we see it again for 2016, it probably will not be released until that point.
No, you must book a package that includes your Disney resort, park passes and the dining in order to qualify. Using DVC points excludes you from free dining as you are not booking a package (there isn’t any way to book a package using DVC points).
