Hi Silvia and welcome to planDisney!
The
Free Dining & Drinks in 2026! deal is such an amazing offer for Guests visiting Walt Disney World from the UK and Ireland. It is my favourite special offer and one that my family always try to take advantage of, when booking our next trip. We have, in actual fact, already booked a stay at Disney's All-Star Movies Resort for during August 2026, which includes this very deal.
The
terms and conditions of the deal specify that the Free Dining & Drinks in 2026 offer is eligible when you book between 29th April 2025 and 5th November 2025 (inclusive) a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 21 consecutive nights stay in one of the participating Walt Disney World Resort Hotels and a 7 or 14-Day Magic Ticket on arrival dates between 7th January 2026 and 30th March 2026 (inclusive), 13th April 2026 and 7th October 2026 (inclusive), 22nd October 2026 and 19th December 2026 (inclusive).
So, the good news is that the offer does include eligible stays arriving on any day during the month of August 2026.
The participating hotels and dining plan options do vary and are detailed fully within the terms and conditions of the offer, which I linked above.
One Free Quick-Service Meal is included at the following Value Resort Hotels: Disney's All-Star Movies Resort, Disney's All-Star Music Resort, Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort (except Little Mermaid Standard Rooms).
A
Quick-Service Dining Plan is included at the following Moderate Resort Hotels: Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Coronado Springs Resort (except Tower - Standard View - Club Level, Tower - Deluxe Suite - Club Level, Tower - One Bedroom Suite - Club Level, Tower - Presidential Suite - Club Level), Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter.
There are too many exceptions to list within my answer but, generally speaking, a
Disney Dining Plan is included at the
Deluxe Resort Hotels and
Deluxe Villas. The majority of the exceptions are Club Level Rooms, Suites and 3-bedroom Grand Villas.
When searching for a
Hotel + Ticket Package with the Walt Disney Travel Company, via the Walt Disney World website, it is clear to see if your potential booking includes the Free Dining & Drinks Offer in 2026 deal as this is highlighted in green when selecting your Disney Hotel and once you reach the "Add Disney Dining" section, you will note that it says "Enjoy for FREE" when selecting the eligible dining plan option.
I hope that this information has been of use, Silvia. If you have any other questions about the booking or, planning of your 2026 trip, please feel free to revisit us, here at planDisney to
ask me another question. I'd be more than happy to help.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
