Hi, Nicole! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thanks for stopping by with your question. Throughout the year, Walt Disney World Resort releases various Special Offers that can be added to new or existing reservations. The Free Disney Dining Special Offer that you mentioned is one that so many guests look forward to enjoying. The specifics of this offer have changed over the years, but typically it requires a guest to pay the regular rate for the resort room, purchase specific theme park tickets, and visit during a specific time of year to receive one of the
Disney Dining Plans at no additional cost. This Special Offer sure can make for quite a delicious vacation!
The time of year that this
Special Offer is released does change, but it has been known to be offered during November and December. However, it is usually for limited days and weeks. You are welcome to go ahead and book a Magic Your Way Package. Once the Free Disney Dining offer or any other Special Offer is released that fits your travel dates, you can hop online to attempt to modify your reservation within
My Disney Experience. If you prefer, simply give a
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations Cast Member a call and ask them to check to see if it can be applied it to your reservation. Please know that not all Resort hotels will be included in any Special Offer and the dates will be limited, so you may have to change some aspects of your vacation if you want to use one.
Thanks again for bringing us this great question and please let us know if we can help you plan more of your Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
