Hi Nicky and welcome to planDisney!
Oh my goodness me, excitement central in our house a few days ago, when details of the
Free Dining and Drinks promotion for selected arrivals in 2026 was announced. This is such a brilliant deal for us Brits, who are likely to be spending 2-weeks, or more, at
Walt Disney World when we visit.
My family really like using the
Disney Dining Plan as having one helps us to budget for our holiday, giving us peace of mind that the majority of our food and drink will be paid for upfront. That way, when we arrive at "The Most Magical Place on Earth", all we have to worry about is which of the many dining locations we would like to eat at and how many Mickey Mouse shaped snacks we can find to devour!
You are quite right in saying, Nicky, that as part of this promotion, one Free Quick Service Meal per person, per night's stay, is included when booking a Hotel + Ticket package at the following Disney Resorts Collection
Value Resort Hotels:-
Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort
Disney’s All-Start Music Resort
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
Disney Art of Animation Resort (except Little Mermaid Standard Rooms)
The Quick Service Meals include a choice from any participating
Quick Service Restaurant of one main course and one single-serving beverage. The main course and drink do need to be purchased at the same time, from the same dining location. You cannot separate the main course and drink elements.
I hope that this has answered your question, Nicky. Please feel free to re-visit us, here at planDisney, with any other questions you have about booking, or, planning, your 2026 trip to Walt Disney World.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
