    I already have a Disney resort package where I booked 4 nights and 4 park passes and got 2 free. I didn’t add dinning at the time. If I decide to add dinning for the adults will the kids get the free dinning without loosing the original deal?

    Hi Donna!

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney!  There has certainly been a flurry of great special offers available for Walt Disney World Resort visits in 2026, and I'm glad to see that you were able to grab a wonderful deal on your upcoming trip.

    Donna, you can often modify your vacation package online under "My Plans and Tickets," but I spoke with a Cast Member who recommended that you call Tickets and Hotel Reservations for assistance with this specific request.  The free dining plan for kids can usually be combined with other discounts, but a Cast Member can confirm the terms of your package, check current availability to stack these offers, and help ensure that your vacation plans are practically perfect in every way!  

    Since you're planning a summer visit, you'll also be able to take advantage of free water park admission on your check-in day.  Both Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park are scheduled to be open throughout the summer, so you can choose how to spend your day!  You don't need to do anything special to activate this resort benefit, which is available for check-in dates between May 26 and September 8, 2026. 

    On your check-in day, you'll find your complimentary water park tickets (valid for that day only) loaded in the My Disney Experience accounts of each registered resort Guest.  Just like at the theme parks, you can use a MagicBand+, a Key to the World Card, or Disney MagicMobile Service to scan in at the water park entrance.  Regardless of which water park you choose to enjoy, my favorite sweet treat to cool down on a hot summer day is the Sand Pail Sundae.  You can find this shareable ice cream sundae at I.C. Expeditions inside Blizzard Beach or at Happy Landings Ice Cream if you head to Typhoon Lagoon.  

    I hope this information has been helpful, Donna, and that you enjoy every magical moment this summer at Walt Disney World Resort.  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!

    Cheers!
