Welcome to planDisney, Dino! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question today about my favorite part of planning a Walt Disney World vacation: the food.
The
Free Dining Plan for Kids offer is such a great perk, and you'll be happy to hear that it's already been announced for all of 2026, which means it will apply to your July stay at
Wilderness Lodge, if you choose to add a
Disney Dining Plan to your vacation package.
Now let's chat about how it works! The type of dining plan your kids will receive for free will match whatever plan you choose for the adults in your travel party. So if the grown-ups in your group are booked on the
Disney Dining Plan, then the kids will also receive the Disney Dining Plan for free. That plan includes a Quick-Service meal, a Table-Service meal, and a snack per night of your stay, plus a refillable resort drink mug.
On the other hand, if you've selected the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan for the adults, then that's the one the kids will receive for free as well. The Quick-Service plan includes two Quick-Service meals and one snack per night of your stay, plus the refillable mug. The important thing to remember is that the kids' free plan will always mirror the type of plan selected for the adults in your reservation.
This offer is valid for children ages 3 to 9, and it's available when you book a Disney vacation package that includes both theme park tickets and a stay at a
Disney Resort Hotel, with the dining plan added on. So if you've got that package in place and choose to include a dining plan, you're all set to enjoy free meals for the little ones. Such a fun way to make the most of your summer vacation!
Have a magical day, Dino!
