Sorry - just realized you are in the England and I know they book earlier. For the US it was the following: They probably won't start booking for 2014 until early August. By mid-August 2010 and 2011, I was able to get a free dining for my January 2011 and February 2012 trips. The package deal and resort discounts for Jan and Feb 2013 were released later this year - in the beginning to mid October. I believe the time frame for this offer included bookings through mid-March. They also didn't release a free dining offer to the public. I believe now instead of a free dining offer, they offered a "play, stay and dine" discount. The discount was slightly less than free dining, but still a very good savings. The only free dining that I know of recently has been released is via e-mail with a PIN number.
