The Offer Details
To qualify for the free dining plan, you must use your Disney Visa Card to book a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (or longer) vacation package. This package must include a room at a select Disney Resort hotel and a theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option.
Eligible Arrival Dates for 2026:
- June 28 to October 3
- October 19 to October 31
- December 6 to December 21
Which Dining Plan Do You Get?
The type of dining plan included in your package depends on where you choose to stay.
- Disney Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts: Includes the Disney Dining Plan (perfect for those who love Table-Service meals and Character Dining).
- Disney Moderate or Value Resorts: Includes the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan (ideal for families on the go).
Important Terms and Exclusions
As with most Free Dining offers, availability is limited and certain room types are excluded, such as 3-Bedroom Grand Villas, campsites, and the Little Mermaid Standard Rooms at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
You must use a valid Disney Visa Card or Disney Rewards Redemption Card to pay the deposit, and the cardmember must be one of the guests staying in the room. Since these are date-based tickets, no park reservations are required, giving you even more flexibility to enjoy your prepaid meals and snacks across the parks!
If you aren’t a cardmember yet, you can apply today and take advantage of this early access window immediately upon approval.
