How Free Dining Works in 2025
Starting January 2nd through February 10th, 2025, you can score a FREE Disney Dining Plan when you purchase a qualifying Disney World vacation package. This offer is available for stays starting May 27th to June 26th, 2025, and again from July 7th to August 6th, 2025.
Here’s what your vacation will need to look like to qualify for free dining:
- Minimum Stay: 3-night hotel stay
- Minimum Ticket Requirement: 3-day, Park Hopper ticket
- Hotel Requirement: Stay at a Disney Resort hotel included in the promotion
- Package Requirement: Book at a non-discounted rate
What’s the Disney Dining Plan?
The Disney Dining Plan is a way to pre-pay for your meals along with your Disney World vacation package that includes your hotel stay and park tickets. You typically pay per person, per day — but with this deal the plan (and therefore your food on your vacation) is free! Right now, there are two versions of the Dining Plan available: the Quick Service Disney Dining Plan and the Standard Disney Dining Plan.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what you’ll get:
Quick Service Disney Dining Plan:
- 2 Quick Service (Disney’s version of fast food) Meals per person, per night
- 1 Snack per person, per night
With each Quick Service Meal, you’ll get:
- 1 entrée (and any accompanying sides)
- 1 beverage (including alcoholic beverages for adults at select locations)
Standard Disney Dining Plan:
- 1 Table Service Meal
- 1 Quick Service Meal
- 1 Snack
Table Service meals include:
- 1 entrée with sides
- 1 dessert (lunch and dinner only)
- 1 beverage (including alcoholic beverages)
Plus, you can also book family-style or buffet meals — even character dining. Note that some Disney World table-service restaurants (the really fancy ones) count as 2 table-service credits.
