The Walt Disney World Resort in 2026 is offering free dining plans for children younger than 10.
Disney hotel guests who add a dining plan to their package will only pay for those ages 10 and up.
The benefit is applicable throughout 2026. Disney said it can be combined with other offers, including those that haven't been introduced yet.
Disney hotel guests also receive other benefits typically offered, like early theme park entry every day starting 30 minutes before the park’s official opening; complimentary transportation; free parking at hotels, theme parks and water parks; and early access to dining reservations and Lightning Lane purchases.
This year, Disney introduced a new benefit to resort guests: free water park admission on check-in day. Disney said the benefit will again be available in the summer of 2026, with additional details -- like specific dates -- to be shared at a later date.
Hotel and ticket purchases for 2026 (through Oct. 31) will open on April 22.
