Hi Cali! Thanks for coming back to see us here at planDisney with your question. It sounds like you have an exciting mother-son trip planned for November! I just returned home today from a trip with my son, and having that quality time with him at the Most Magical Place on Earth was truly special for both of us. I’m excited to have the opportunity to help you plan a trip with your boy!
The
free dining offer for kids in 2026 is such a great deal and the perfect way to enjoy some of the amazing dining locations across the Walt Disney World Resort! I’m happy to tell you that you still qualify for this offer, even though you both already have theme park admission. You will just need to
call to have a Cast Member help you book a ticketless reservation. As long as you choose a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection and book the
dining plan for everyone on the reservation ages 10 and up for the entire length of the stay, your son will eat for free!
While you’re there on this special trip with your son, you may want to consider purchasing
Memory Maker as a special souvenir for yourself. I purchased this on the recent visit with my son, and the Disney PhotoPass photographers captured such beautiful images of the two of us that I will treasure forever. Memory Maker allows you to download all of the photos and videos from the Disney PhotoPass service during your trip. This includes select rides and character meet and greets, as well photos taken by PhotoPass photographers stationed at spots throughout all four theme parks. If you purchase Memory Maker before you arrive, you get a discount on the price you would pay during or after your stay.
Cali, I am so excited for you and your son on the magical adventures you have in store! Should you have any more questions, I would love to help you continue to plan this special mother-son trip. Just send them my way here at
planDisney, and I'd be delighted to help you make your trip "practically perfect in every way!" Sending you lots of pixie dust!
Casey
