Special Kids Free Dining Plan in 2026
As a special offer throughout all of 2026, guests staying at a Walt Disney World hotel will get a free dining plan for kids (ages 3-9) when purchasing a dining plan for others in their party (ages 10 and up), as part of their package. This kids free dining plan can be combined with other select special offers in the future for 2026 visits. The kids' age is determined by how old they will be at the time of travel.
The free dining plan depends on the type of dining plan purchased — the Disney Dining Plan is included for kids ages 3-9 when you purchase a Disney Dining Plan for guests ages 10 and up. Likewise, the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan is included for kids ages 3-9 when you purchase a Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan for guests ages 10 and up.
