Who’s hungry? Who likes free food? WE DO!
The Disney Dining Plan is BACK at Disney World. This prepaid meal option was unavailable for YEARS but finally returned in early 2024. Since its return, select guests have been able to take advantage of SPECIAL Dining Plan deals, and now we’ve got a NEW one to tell you about!
Starting on April 9th, Disney Visa Cardmembers can get a FREE Disney Dining Plan! The deal applies to select arrival dates in July, September, and December, and you must book a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (or longer) Disney Travel Company Package with the Park Hopper option.
Make sure to check back on April 9th for full details. If you have a Disney Visa card, this could be a MAJOR perk for those looking to take advantage of a free dining deal.
Wondering if the dining plan is worth it? We have a TON of handy information on the Disney Dining Plan. To learn more, you can click HERE.
Currently, Disney offers two Dining Plan options when it returns — the Standard Disney Dining Plan and the Quick Service Disney Dining Plan. Disney Dining Plans are an optional add-on to a Disney World Vacation Package (which also includes your Disney World hotel room and theme park tickets.)
This means the Disney Dining Plan is exclusive to guests staying in a Disney World Resort hotel. Disney Dining Plans are pre-purchased, so all you have to do when you get to Disney World is head to a restaurant that accepts the Disney Dining Plan and tell your server! With a FREE dining deal, though, you don’t even have to pre-purchase a plan!
Make sure to stay tuned for more information on this new deal. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

I really wish between this deal and the Disney+ deal – arrival dates in June would be included.
Ted Jones says
I am a DVC member, and we already have a trip planned for July 27th through August 4th. I’m guessing by your article that DVC members are out of luck, even if the dates would correspond with Disney’s free Dining Plan offer? Thank you.

Requiring a park hopper pass kills it for us! There is always a catch to Disney offers these days!
Tiffany says
Disney has just called my bluff. I told my family that I was done with Disney World for now and that the only way I would consider going back, any time soon – is if Disney offered me “Free Disney Dining”. Now that Disney has called my bluff and is offering “Free Disney Dining”, what will I do?
Kevin says
A travel agent is telling us that we can take advantage of this dining plan (with park hopper tickets) and when we get there, upgrade the park hopper tickets to an annual pass and keep the free dining plan. Does anyone know if that’s true?

Unfortunately, as Canadians (and I’m assuming other countries as well, we cannot get Disney Visa Cards and therefor cannot access this discount. Too bad, especially as we are going in December, dates to be decided), so it would have been great.
Crystal Mitchell says
I already booked a trip. Can I apply the free dining? If so how? Thank you
