FREE DINING, FREE DINING & FREE DINING. Woo hoo! The dining package you receive is based on your hotel choice. Value Resorts get the Quick Service Plan (you can choose to upgrade packages if you'd like.) Moderate & Deluxe Resorts get the Regular Dining Plan. For details on these plans and restaurant recommendations, see the page To Dine or Not To Dine. You must book a minimum 4-night hotel stay package with a minimum of 2 days of park passes. Pay careful attention to the dates that qualify if you want to take advantage of this special. And book your trip ASAP because only a certain number of rooms are available at each resort with this special. These dates are what I found online but your Disney travel agent can tell you if there are additional dates (this didn't seem like very many dates and I find it hard to believe that it's only a week at a time).
October 1 - October 6
October 22 - November 3
November 12 - November 17
November 26 - December 1
December 10 - December 15
January 8 - January 12** (YES offered, I think)
January 21 - February 2** (YES offered, I think)
February 11 - February 16** (YES offered, I think)
March 3 - March 8
March 24 - March 29** (Caddo & Bossier Parish Spring Break!)

ACTIVE & RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL ~ You have a couple of deals to choose from between now and 9/30/2012. As with most military discounts, the miliary personnel and/or spouse must be present with ID to qualify.
** 40% off hotel prices at most Disney resorts, except on black out dates (listed below)
** 4-day park passes for only $138, and $165 if you want to add a Park Hopper Option. That is ALMOST just as good as the YES pricing without the hassle of having to stay within the Individual Enrollment dates. (If you have no idea what I am talking about, go read the page about Youth Education Series - Best Kept Secret.) If I were military or married to military, I would not even bother with YES while this deal is going on! This only works if you have less than 6 people in your party though because they will only allow you to use 6 at a time. You can actually purchase 12 over the entire promotion (basically, you can go to WDW twice using this promotion).
It is my understanding that you have to purchase these tickets/book these rooms through a military personnel ticket outlet, but I'd check with your Disney travel agent first to see if she can help you. Afterall, you want that handy crowd-control chart, right? If it turns out you do HAVE to do it through a military site/program, here is the military promotions phone number to find out the way to do that. (407) 939-7830
