Beginning April 22, 2025, guests can start booking their 2026 vacations to Walt Disney World, with a variety of convenient and flexible options available. Bookings will remain open through October 31, 2026. And, if you have kids (ages 3-9) in your traveling party, they can receive a FREE Dining Plan when you purchase a dining plan with your package for others in your party (ages 10 and up)!
How to Get Free Disney World Dining Plan for Kids (Ages 3-9) in 2026
Throughout all of 2026, guests staying at one of our more than 25 Disney Resort hotels will get a free dining plan for their kids (ages 3 to 9) when purchasing a dining plan as part of their package for the other members of their party (ages 10 and up). Dining plans can help you maximize your stay with added peace of mind, letting you enjoy some of the many dining locations we offer from meals to snacks and kid-friendly favorites.
The kids free dining plan offering can be combined with other select special offers, meaning you may still be eligible to take advantage of other deals we later roll out for 2026.
2026 Disney World Resort Perks
There’s nothing like a visit to Disney World. With so many attractions, entertainment offerings, dining, shopping and more across our four theme parks and beyond, staying at a Disney Resort hotel means being right inside the magic. With everything we offer, Walt Disney World remains the place to be for an ultimate multi-day vacation, a special occasion, or a day full of rides, food, and fun.
Get More Time at the Theme Parks
Continuing through 2026, Disney Resort hotel guests can enjoy more time in our theme parks with 30 minutes of early theme park entry every day, at every park.* That means getting a head start in the parks to check out some of your favorite attractions. Guests of our Disney Deluxe Resorts or Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts will also continue to have access to extended evening hours at select theme parks on certain days.
*Valid theme park admission required for entry.
