🍽 What Dining Plan Do You Get?
Your free Disney Dining Plan depends on the Disney Resort hotel category you choose
Resort Type | Dining Plan | What You Get | Value |
Value Resorts | A Quick Service Meal | 1 Quick Service Meal + 1 Drink per day | Worth £279 per adult for a 2 week stay |
Moderate Resorts | Quick Service Dining Plan | 2 Quick Service meals, 1 snack, refillable mug | Worth £699 per adult for a 2 week stay |
Deluxe Resorts | Disney Dining Plan | 1 Quick Service + 1 Table Service meal, 1 snack, refillable mug | Worth £1119 per adult for a 2 week stay |
The Quick Service Meal Plan for value resort guests includes:
1 Quick Service meal per day
An alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink with your meal
🍔 Quick Service Dining Plan for moderate resort guests includes:
2 Quick Service meals per day
1 snack per day
An alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink with each meal
A refillable resort mug
🍽 Disney Dining Plan for deluxe resort guests includes:
1 Quick Service meal per day
1 Table Service meal per day
1 snack per day
An alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink with each meal
A refillable resort mug
This means you can enjoy delicious meals across Walt Disney World for free!
💸 Maximise Your Savings
If you book a hotel and ticket package by 1st July 2025 you will receive £200 off the price of your booking.
To get the biggest saving of up to £300 per booking, you must book by 1st July 2025 and include flights with your package.
If you book after this date, the saving drops to £100, so early booking is essential to get the best value!
This offer is valid on consecutive stays between 5 - 21 nights! Be aware if you are planning to do a split stay at two different Disney World Resorts you will have two separate bookings and therefore two different offers.
For example if you wanted to stay for 10 nights at a moderate resort and 4 nights at a deluxe resort you will receive 10 nights of the Quick Service Dining Plan but would receive nothing for your deluxe resort stay as the 4 nights do not qualify for the offer. Just be aware of this before booking!
🎟 What Are Disney 14-Day Magic Tickets?
The 14-Day Magic Ticket for the price of 7 is only available to UK guests and includes:
Park Hopper access – visit multiple parks in one day!
Memory Maker – unlimited digital photos from rides and photographs taken by the official Disney photographers around the parks!
Access to all 4 theme parks and 2 water parks
Entry to mini-golf and other fun extras
This ticket alone is packed with added value and flexibility, making it one of the best Disney ticket options available!
Who Benefits From The Free Disney Dining Offer?
This Free Disney Dining Offer can seem fantastic at first glance, but certain guests will benefit more from this deal than other!
Who Is This Offer Good For? | Who Is This Offer Bad For |
Families | Solo Travellers |
Moderate and Deluxe Resort Guests | Couples |
If you were already planning to stay on-site at Disney World Resort | Value Resort Guests |
If you were already planning to stay on-site in a Disney World Resort in 2026 this is a fantastic offer as you are getting something for nothing! Being able to save so much money on dining is such a big bonus!
As the dining plans you receive are per person, the more people in your room, the better value this offer works out, making it fantastic for families!
This is especially so if you are planning on staying at a moderate or deluxe resort, as you get to take advantage of the full dining plans, which also include a snack, 2 meals per day and the refillable resort mug.
This offer isn't great for everyone though!
If you are staying at a value resort you are only getting one meal and one drink a day, which saving of around £20 per person. This can add up over the length of your stay (and any savings are welcome!), but it is not a fantastic enough offer to often outweigh the more expensive room rates at Disney World Resorts.
If you are a solo traveller you pay the most to stay at Disney World! This is because in the US room rates are based on the room, not the occupancy. So a solo traveller will pay the entire cost for the room themselves, whereas four people sharing a room would split the cost four ways, paying just a quarter of what a solo traveller does!
Because of the expensive room rates, solo travellers will often choose to stay at value resorts, which sadly have the worst dining plan options that will only save you £20 per day!
This is also true for two people sharing a room. Although the room rate can be more affordable than for solo travellers, the money you save with the free dining plan doesn't always outweigh the room cost. So if the 2026 offer was a big consideration as to whether it is worthwhile to pay more to stay on-site as a Disney World Resort, the free dining offer may not be enticing enough for you.
Previously Disney World did a dining credits offer which was much, much better for solo travellers and pairs and made the more expensive room rates much easier to tolerate as you could save so much money on dining! Now you pay the most and get the least out of the offer!
Can I Upgrade My Disney Dining Plan?
With the 2025 offer there was the option to upgrade your dining plan! This can be a great option if you want to have a higher tier of dining plan, but not pay the large difference to upgrade to a different level of hotel. I highly suspect this will be the case with the 2026 offer as well!
If you are a solo traveller or two people in a room, often it is always cheaper to just pay to upgrade your dining plan. If you are three or more people in one room sometimes it is cheaper to upgrade to the next tier of resort rather than paying for an upgraded dining plan.
