Planning Disney World in 2026? Kids Eat Free with the Dining Plan

Written by Joshua Posted April 21st, 2025

Free dining is returning to Walt Disney World in 2026, but you’ll have to be a child to take advantage. Guests who purchase the Dining Plan will get free dining for the young ones in their party all year long:

Throughout all of 2026, guests staying at one of our more than 25 Disney Resort hotels will get a free dining plan for their kids (ages 3 to 9) when purchasing a dining plan as part of their package for the other members of their party (ages 10 and up). Dining plans can help you maximize your stay with added peace of mind, letting you enjoy some of the many dining locations we offer from meals to snacks and kid-friendly favorites.

The best news about this deal is that it can be combined with other offers. That’s rarely the case with Disney World perks, so be sure to keep up to date with everything Disney offers throughout 2026 (we’ll help out with that).

Guests can book Disney World vacations for travel dates through October 2026 starting tomorrow, April 22.
