    We are going to Disney using Disney Vacation Club points, and wondering about the meal plan. We will have 2 adults and 1 child (age 5 at time of travel). Is the free dining for kids 3-9 applicable? Or is that just for packages?

    Hi Mary Kate,

    Welcome home!

    Thank you for visiting us again here at planDisney with another vacation planning question! I love helping fellow Disney Vacation Club Members plan their vacations to Disney destinations around the world. My family and I have been enjoying the flexibility of our membership for several years now, and we have loved every moment. We just booked our next stay at a Deluxe Studio at Copper Creek Villas and Cabins this evening and are excitedly counting down to our visit!

    I have some great news for you, Mary Kate. Yes, Disney Vacation Club Guests aged 3 to 9 are eligible for the free kids dining plan. To be eligible, both adults on the reservation will need to have opted for the dining plan and paid in full at the time of booking. To add the dining plan to your reservation via the Disney Vacation Club website, head to your 'Dashboard,' select your reservation and then click on ‘Purchase Dining Plan.’ Keep in mind the dining plan must be purchased for all Guests on the reservation and for the full length of your stay.

    I hope this answers your question today, Mary Kate, and that you enjoy your next vacation to Walt Disney World! Now you just have to plan where you will dine to make the most of your dining plan. If you haven't tried it already, I highly recommend dining at Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. My family particularly enjoys the skillets on offer! If you have any further questions about your membership, please reach out to me. I'd love to help!

    See ya real soon!
