Welcome to planDisney!
"Anna...? Elsa...? Sven...? Samantha....?!" SAMANTHA! You're actually here! Planning your 2026 Disney World vacation like a pro. Atta girl! I'm so happy you've stopped by with your question today.
I love many things about your plan, Samantha. I love that you selected September, which is an amazing time to visit Disney World because it typically includes lower crowds and prices. I love that you are planning well ahead, so that you'll have a magical countdown in place to savor. And I love that you know to watch the
Disney Special Offers, Deals & Discounts page, even after you've made your initial vacation package reservation!
Each year Disney is known to offer different deals on different dates. That said, there are no guarantees that a free dining offer will be released next Spring. But I like the way you think... and I'll be wishing on a star that such an offer comes true! It is likely we'll see some type of deal offered for your Fall of 2026 dates, so definitely keep an eye out. And you are correct that once a deal is released, you can easily modify your reservation in
My Disney Experience to one that utilizes the discount. Just be aware that certain offers like free Disney Dining have specific requirements, like room types that are allocated for the offer, and certain types of park tickets that you would need to switch to (often with the park hopper option added). Any price difference would then be adjusted to your total remaining packet amount due. It can be a great way to enhance your vacation and save money!
I hope this helps. Please
visit me again at planDisney if I can offer any dining or park recommendations, or answer any other questions you may have.
Magical memories await!
