Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Tammy!
Disney Dining Plans are a great feature available for
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Arriving at the Walt Disney World Resort knowing that your meals are all taken care of is simply magical!
There have been special offers in previous years for
Disney Visa Card members that included a free Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan depending on Disney Resort hotel category chosen at the time of booking. Last year the offer was released in April and Guests had to book until June 16, 2019 for select vacation dates from August 1 through August 21, 2019. It is important to note that a complete non-discounted 4-night minimum length of stay package including theme park admission tickets had to be purchased, so I recommend
being on the lookout to find out if and under which conditions this exclusive promotion will be offered for 2020.
Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholders are entitled to add a Disney Dining Plan to a room-only Disney Resort hotel reservation, however they are not usually discounted. Please call (407) 560-7277 for more information about adding a dining plan to an Annual Passholder reservation, and be sure to check for
special offers on room rates.
If you decide not to add a Disney Dining Plan to your reservation, I recommend using your Annual Pass while dining as the
list of locations offering discounts is more comprehensive for Annual Passholders than for Disney Visa Card holders. In addition, Annual Passholders are eligible to purchase
Tables in Wonderland to enjoy a 20% discount on food and beverages at
participating restaurants, so if you plan accordingly this may be a great option to save money on dining.
Thank you for sending another question our way! I hope this helps you while planning and that you have a magical stay at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Best Disney wishes,
Thian
