Hi there, Philip! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney! I'm so happy to help with your question.
A
Disney Dining Plan during the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? Honestly, Philip, I'm feeling a tad bit jealous! Your trip to Walt Disney World will be full of magic and fabulous food, so let's talk about adding a dining plan to your package.
Philip, you can add the Disney Dining Plan to your vacation package up to one day before you check in. Unfortunately, you won't be able to add it
after you check in, so be sure to add it before your trip. You should be able to do this through your
My Disney Experience app, but if you run into any trouble, you can always call the
Tickets and Hotel Reservations line to speak to a Disney Cast Member.
Now, my family just returned from our latest Disney World adventure, and we took advantage of the
Free Dining Plan for Kids in 2026 promotion during our stay. If you're traveling with any children between the ages of 3 and 9, I strongly suggest taking a look, since this offer saved us a significant amount of money!
Finally, I want to point out that many of the food items you'll find at EPCOT festivals will qualify as a snack under the Disney Dining Plan. Since you're visiting during the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, be sure to look for the purple-and-white DDP snack logo at those incredible outdoor kitchens.
I hope this helps, Philip. If you have any other planning questions as you get closer to your visit, please don't hesitate to
reach out to me again right here at planDisney.
See ya real soon,
Allison
