Orlando, FL - Walt Disney World is rolling out a new promotion beginning in 2026 that will allow eligible children to dine for free as part of select vacation packages.
The offer is aimed at families booking stays at Disney Resorts Collection hotels and includes complimentary meals for children ages 3 to 9.
To take advantage of the deal, families must meet a few key requirements.
All guests in the reservation must be staying at a participating Disney resort, and everyone, including adults, must be enrolled in the same dining plan for the entirety of their stay.
While adults will be charged the regular rate for their meal plan, the dining package will be free for qualifying children.
Guests can choose between two options: the Quick-Service Dining Plan or the standard Dining Plan.
Both plans include a pre-set number of meals and snacks per day and are widely used by park visitors seeking convenience and cost savings.
Disney has also confirmed that this promotion can be combined with other special offers running in 2026, potentially increasing overall savings for families.
The promotion is expected to attract high demand as vacationers plan future trips, especially those looking to maximize value during their Disney experience.
Disney has not yet released exact booking dates, but additional information will be shared on Disney’s official website and through authorized vacation planners.
