Just got back and am already planning the next trip. We did not get the free dining this year but am wondering when the rates come out. Thanks

Mousesavers.com (http://www.mousesavers.com/historicalwdwdiscounts.html#codetrends) has a historical list of when some discounts were released in the past. However, my take on it is that since you never know if a discount will return the following year, it would be a good idea to book your trip as soon as it is feasible for you. If a discount code comes out for something you can always call back and see if you can get it applied to your current reservation. (If it is eligible.)

Another advantage to booking as soon as possible is it will lock you into the current prices of tickets and dining plan, which means your safe from any price increases which may occur in the upcoming year!
