If you want to use the Disney Dining Plan for your upcoming Disney World vacation, there is some important information you need to know before you go.
In case you’re unfamiliar, the Dining Plan is an optional add-on to your Disney World trip that allows you to pre-pay for your meals. Now, Disney just confirmed that starting in 2025, a popular FREE dining deal is returning. That means you can enjoy all the perks of the Dining Plan…for free. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World and want to take advantage of the free dining deal, you might want to see which restaurants accept Dining Plan credits. We have a FULL LIST of the hotel restaurants that qualify for the Disney Dining Plan. Let’s dive in!
Starting this January, you can get a FREE Disney Dining Plan by purchasing select Disney World vacation packages. Between January 2nd and February 10th, Disney will offer a free dining plan with the purchase of a non-discounted 3-night, 3-day (minimum) Disney vacation package that includes a room at a select Disney Resort hotel and a ticket with a Park Hopper option.
The deal is valid for vacations beginning May 27th through June 26th and July 7th through August 6th, 2025.
Disney Dining Plan Hotel Restaurants
The Dining Plan is an optional add-on to your Disney World trip, but you must book a stay at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel. Disney offers two versions of the Disney Dining Plan, including the Quick Service Disney Dining Plan and the Standard Disney Dining Plan.
