Disney World to Offer Free Dining Plans for Children at Resort Hotels in 2026

Families planning a trip to Walt Disney World in 2026 can look forward to a new cost-saving benefit. Starting next year, children ages 3 to 9 will be eligible for complimentary dining plans when staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, provided a dining plan is purchased for the rest of the party.

According to Disney officials, the offer applies to all guests who include a dining plan in their vacation package and are lodging at one of the resort’s participating hotels. The complimentary kids’ dining plan can also be combined with other select promotional offers, giving families additional ways to save on their Disney vacation.

This new perk is available throughout the entire 2026 calendar year, offering families an opportunity to reduce dining costs while enjoying the full range of experiences across Walt Disney World’s theme parks and resort properties.

Vacation packages for most 2026 dates are now open for booking, and early reservations are encouraged due to expected demand.
