Bon Appetit, Brittany! Thanks for coming to us at planDisney with your question about your upcoming vacation package at the Walt Disney World Resort! My own family took advantage of the delicious savings included in the
Disney+ Subscriber offer for a free dining plan; we can't wait to say Jambo to our stay at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge in July and snack and drink our way across the resort knowing we have already paid the bill!
Brittany, when you book this special offer, the Disney Dining Plan is included for Guests choosing a Disney Deluxe hotel, like yourself! When you go through the booking process, be sure you are signed into the
My Disney Experience account that is associated with your Disney+ subscription and that you go through the
link for this special offer so that it will be applied to your package as you book. First, you will first select your dates and travel party, then your resort preference, then you will select your ticket options. Once you have made those selections, the next step in the online booking process will apply the included dining plan at no charge. If you opt for a Disney Value or Moderate resort, it is at this step that you can upgrade the included
Quick Service Dining Plan to the
Disney Dining Plan, if you so choose.
In addition to the value of the complimentary Disney Dining Plan, choosing a Disney Deluxe Resort allows you and your family access to the
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom Park! My family is excited to be able to have some extra park hours after the sun sets and the summer temperatures become a little more bearable! We also added the Park Hopper Plus Option to our theme park tickets so we will have a chance to cool off at
Disney's Blizzard Beach or
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon during our stay!
Don't forget to mark your calendar for your
Advance Dining Reservation date once you have finalized your reservation; as a Disney Resort Hotel guest, you can book all of your dining reservations for the entire length of your trip (up to 10 days) 60 days in advance! We use this strategy to stack some of the more popular reservations towards the end of our trip to ensure more reservation availability! I'd recommend taking a look at
all of the restaurants on property that are participating in the dining plans so you can make decisions about how to best use your meals and snacks while you are on vacation!
Brittany, I hope this has been helpful as you finalize your vacation plans and secure that free dining package for this summer! Remember that, at this time, bookings for this sweet and delicious deal end on February 14!
Cheers to delicious memories, meals, and magic,
Alison
