We are really wanting to visit WDW again the week before Christmas, 2017. Free Dining has been available in recent years during this time, including this year. We are very interested in the Free Dining. Any idea when the dates will be released for this? Also, after reading some of these posts, you guys make it sound like it is not easy to get. Is this indeed the case? We have been to WDW 5 times, but never during a Free Dining period. Are there any tricks or tips that I need to know?

Disney hasn't announced another round of Free Dining at this time. I'll post, if I hear anything.

For anyone who is looking for the free dining plan, I suggest to keep checking. We originally could not get the dining plan free for the dates of Sept 30-October 8 for any of the moderate. I stalked the Walt Disney website and the free dinning came available for Coronado Springs so we switched from Port Orleans Riverside to Coronado. Yesterday free dining rooms for Port Orleans Riverside for our stay was released and we were able to change back to our original. It saved us around $1100.
