There will be a promotion. Maybe FD maybe, free QS at values or worse everywhere, maybe 30% off, maybe kids play and eat free and adults at full price. There will be something.
I think the QS at values resorts, or kids free (current promo or similar to it) is way more likley, and needing park tickets for the whole stay. This is my guess.. maybe I am making up rumors here.
Here is an observation.
1) The resturaunts fill up, and over fill with free dining. Meaning non-resort guests who just randomly come in, or those that do not plan 180 days in advance cannot get into CP, or Norway. It would be ideal for profits of a business to have room for guests who pay for a meal as well as ones that paid full price for the resort and pay from the meal in the package. A business would love to add FD to bring people in, but not at the cost of turning away a paying customer either, or giving something extra for free that they didn't have too.
2) I think adding in paying for adult dining plan, adding full amount of days of park tickets, and maybe even some other fee some how, would benefit them more as a business. More $$ for the FDers, in that some people may take the 30% off room instead and leave the dining for someone who may pay for it. IDEAL for PROFITS. They still eat at QS, and do TS 1-2 times per week instead of daily, and they still bring in $$ to buy stuff.
As a customer who goes for a discount, I would want FD with no strings.. but would settle for paying for part of it, or adding more days ect.
As a customer using DVC I would love to get a ressie for a dining plan I paid for. (And wouldn't cancel dining plan if I could get ressies)
As an AP holder who just decided to go and use my TIW card, I would love to be able to go to CRT and pay 80% of it without being turned away. (Disney would like this too.)
A good mix to help all these to be happy is to option to help keep everyone happy (and bringing in $$) is to offer free dining with strings (helping FD and not filling up all TS), and have other discounts as well (to help others who want a hair cheaper Vac).
And .. we will wait to see.
