Disney has knocked this one out of the park!
In the words of the late, great Harry Carry (yes, I’m a cubs fan) …HOLY COW! I can’t believe it, first the promised return of Disney Dining Plans and now the return of FREE DINING!!
First things first, I am personally a big fan of the Disney dining plans. They offer an all-inclusive feel to Disney Vacation packages that I firmly believe adds a level of major convenience! Although heavily debated, I also think Disney Dining Plans save you money in the long run. Especially if you have a child(ren) (I’m looking at you pre-teens!) or additional Grown Ups that LOVE to eat! I mean, who doesn’t love to eat, right? Especially, when its free! Secondly, this dining deal is being offered during the least expensive times at Walt Disney World. If you couple your calendar with this deal, you will see some of the BIGGEST savings to date!
Now, Buckle up, because there is a lot to unpack with the who, what and where of this offer, so let’s get to it!
This is an Exclusive offer for Disney+ Subscribers ONLY.
Yeap, you read right! If you have an account for Disney+ then this one’s for you.
Beginning TODAY, Jan. 3, 2024, Disney+ subscribers will get a FREE dining plan when purchasing a minimum 4-night Walt Disney World vacation package.
As per usual, Disney promos are 1 per use, meaning you cannot double dip or stack offers.

This offer is valid for arrivals most nights July 1 through Sept. 30, 2024 and broken down into a quick service offering and a standard Disney Dining plan offering depending on resort booked.
What plan belongs to What Resort?
As I just mentioned, the offer is broken down by resorts and what plan is offered. Select Value and Moderate resorts will receive the Disney Quick Service Plan.
