Free Dining Plans for Kids in 2026

Throughout 2026, guests staying at any of the 25+ Disney Resort hotels can enjoy a delicious bonus: free dining plans for kids ages 3 to 9! When adults in the party (ages 10 and up) purchase a dining plan as part of their vacation package, kids eat free. From character breakfasts to snack-time favorites, this perk makes mealtime easier and more magical.

Even better? The offer can be combined with select future discounts, so guests might save even more as additional deals roll out.

Why Stay at a Disney Resort Hotel?

Disney Resort hotels offer more than just a place to stay—they keep guests close to the magic. With easy access to all four theme parks, plus shopping, dining, and immersive entertainment, every day brings something new to explore. Whether it’s a weeklong adventure or a special celebration, these resorts turn vacations into unforgettable experiences.
