When it comes to planning a Walt Disney World vacation, the word “free” is about as rare as a Minion at Magic Kingdom. Dining at Disney can be one of the bigger vacation expenses, so any opportunity to save on meals is big news! That’s why we’re thrilled to share that Disney’s free dining promotion is making a limited-time comeback for 2025.
Let’s dive into the details and explore how this deal might fit into your next magical getaway.
A Bit of Disney History
Before 2020, Disney’s free dining promotion was one of the most popular ways to save money on Walt Disney World vacations. It allowed families to enjoy incredible meals across the parks without worrying about the added expense. However, many perks disappeared during the pandemic, including the beloved free dining offer. While the Disney Dining Plan returned in 2024, free dining remained absent—until now.
Promotion Details
Starting January 2, 2025, you can book a Disney World vacation package that includes a free dining plan. This promotion will be available for a limited time, so be sure to mark your calendar!
Booking Dates:
January 2, 2025, through February 10, 2025
Travel Dates:
May 27, 2025 – June 26, 2025
July 7, 2025 – August 6, 2025
To qualify, you’ll need to purchase a non-discounted 3-night/3-day Disney vacation package that includes a room at select Disney Resort hotels and tickets with the Park Hopper option.
What’s Included in the Free Dining Offer?
The free dining deal is tied to the Disney Dining Plan, which comes in two options:
Quick Service Dining Plan (per person, per night):
2 Quick Service Meals
1 Snack
Standard Dining Plan (per person, per night):
1 Table Service Meal
1 Quick Service Meal
1 Snack
With these plans, you’re essentially prepaying for your meals, offering a stress-free way to enjoy dining at Disney’s incredible array of restaurants. To qualify, you must stay at a Disney Resort and have park tickets linked to your stay.
What’s the Cost If You’re Not Using Free Dining?
If you’re traveling outside the free dining promotion period or choose not to use the offer, here’s what you can expect to pay for the 2025 Disney Dining Plans:
Quick Service Disney Dining Plan:$59.14 per night per adult (ages 10 and up)$24.70 per night per child (ages 3-9)
Standard Disney Dining Plan:$97.70 per night per adult (ages 10 and up)$30.78 per night per child (ages 3-9)
Is Free Dining Worth It?
The free dining promotion sounds like a dream come true, but it’s worth crunching the numbers to see if it’s the right deal for you. Because this offer requires you to book a non-discounted package, you’ll need to compare it against other discounts—like room-only promotions—to determine what works best for your family.
For those who already planned to use the Disney Dining Plan, the free dining deal can be an excellent way to enjoy the magic for less.
