Free dining plans for summer stays at Walt Disney World
Did you know that there are more than 170 restaurants across Walt Disney World? You’re going to get hungry. And this summer, you can dine for your whole vacation for free.
NEW: FREE DISNEY DINING PLAN FOR SELECT DATES IN SUMMER 2025
For most stays from May 27 to June 26 and July 7 to August 6, 2025, guest can enjoy a FREE dining plan when you purchase a non-discounted Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a room at a select Disney resort hotel and a theme park ticket with the Park Hopper option. You’ll need to stay at least 3 hotel nights and have a theme park ticket of 3 days or longer.
Wondering whether it’s better to visit during the FREE dining plan offer or better to visit during another time of year and simply pay to add it? Curious how the math plays out? That’s where we come in!
Share the travel dates you’re considering. We’ll help you walk through the numbers, the pros & cons of each Disney (or non-Disney) hotel, and find the right number of theme park days for your travel party. We don’t just share what your trip will cost… we help explain why.
