Hello there Josephine! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for visiting us with your vacation planning question. We're happy to help!
The short answer is... it's too soon to tell, but there's reason for hope. I talked to a Cast Member about this scenario, and he explained that since Disney has not yet announced a specific
Special Offer for Military members in 2026, we do not have the booking policies. So it's too soon to tell if those offers would be stackable or not.
It may be worth calling a
Tickets and Resort Reservation Cast Member to discuss military rates and stacking them with the Kids Free Dining in 2026 offer? They may have additional details, or potentially know more about the booking policies.
But all it takes is a little bit of faith, trust, and pixie-dust Josephine! Here's why I say there's reason for hope. On the details for the
Kids Free Dining Offer in 2026, it mentions "this offer CAN be combined with other select discounts and promotions". I looked into a similar room-only discount lately for another guest arriving in 2026, and learned the
"Bounce Back Offer" is eligible to use along with the Kids Free Dining. So there's a good chance you'll be able to use both your military discount along with this great dining offer.
One last tip before I go! If you do end up adding a
Disney Dining Plan to your vacation package, I highly recommend making an advance dining reservation for a character dining experience like
Chef Mickey's. It's an excellent way to maximize the value of your table service dining entitlements. And it's so much fun! My family really enjoys Chef Mickey's and getting to interact with all the characters... even though my kids are now teenagers. I suspect they may be a little like their mom (and Peter Pan), and never grow up!
I'll be wishing upon a star for all the magical deals to fall into place for your Disney World vacation next year! Please
send me another message at planDisney if I can assist with anything further.
Off to Neverland!
