Enjoy a fantastic FREE dining plan when you purchase a nondiscounted minimum 3-night, 3-day package from the Walt Disney Travel Company, which includes accommodations at a select Disney Resorts Collection hotel along with a theme park ticket featuring the Park Hopper option.

This free Disney dining offer is valid for arrivals on most nights from May 27 to June 26, 2025, and from July 7 to August 6, 2025.

Additionally, packages may be available for longer lengths of stay, providing even greater flexibility for your vacation plans. The Disney dining plans feature an enticing selection of delicious meals and tasty snacks, allowing you to focus solely on enjoying the magic of your visit while eliminating the hassle of meal budgeting.

Embrace the convenience and ease of having your meals thoughtfully planned as you explore the enchanting parks and experience all the wonderful adventures that Disney has to offer.

As with past free dining plan offers, Disney is using a tiered system based on the resort category booked.

Disney World Free Dining Blackout Dates

I always recommend booking free dining offers early because they do sell out. There are numerous hidden blackout dates with the broad offer dates. Disney doesn’t share what those blackout dates are for two reasons: 1) there are too many to list and 2) they change all the time as hotels begin to book up.

See, Disney provides a broad range of dates to simplify things. But the offer is not wide-opened to every resort, room category, and date. The only way to see if free dining is being offered is to plug in your travel dates.

The other thing to be mindful of here is that Disney may limit how many free dining packages it’s going to release for a given resort, room category, or date. Again, we don’t have access to that insider information, but I am pretty good at keeping track of it. For example, let’s say Disney secretly allocates 10 rooms at Disney’s Pop Century Resort for free quick-service dining on the night of June 10. Once 10 people book free dining on June 10 at that resort, the free dining offer then becomes unavailable.

So in short, book as early as possible to get the best availability for free dining.

Sample Free Dining Package Prices for Walt Disney World

Let’s take a look at some of the packages I have prepared for clients using the free dining offer. Here’s a look at a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children ages 5 and 7). Keep in mind that children must order from a child menu when one is available. And it’s Disney, so there’s pretty much always one available.

How the Disney Dining Plans Work

Basic Disney Dining Plan:

For each package night, each person will receive:

1 table service meal credit
1 quick service meal credit
1 snack or beverage credit
1 Resort-refillable mug per person in your package. Mugs are refilled at the self-service beverage station at your hotel's quick-service locations for the duration of the stay.
