Well, hello there, Lindsay! Thank you so much for reaching out to us here at planDisney. We love it when Guests find our friendly and helpful little corner of the internet!
To take advantage of the
free kids' dining plan offered for select arrivals in 2026, your reservation would need to be booked as a vacation package. That means your
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel stay
and theme park tickets (with at least 2 days of use) must be purchased together. Since your current reservation includes a 1-day ticket and was booked separately from your resort stay, it wouldn’t meet the requirements for this particular offer. Theme park tickets are typically nontransferable and nonrefundable, so it’s important to keep in mind that your existing tickets may not be able to be applied toward a new package. If you’re interested in exploring your options, I recommend
reaching out to a friendly Cast Member. They can take a look at your reservation and let you know if any modifications are possible and, if so, any change fees that may apply.
Keep in mind that no matter what type of options you end up with, all registered Guests at a Disney hotel from May 26 to September 8, 2026, will get a
free water park day on their check-in day. So make sure you arrive early and have your swimsuits, sunscreen, and flip-flops ready so you can
drop off your luggage at the hotel and then jet off to either
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park or
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park.
Plus, there are so many new offerings at the parks to be excited about. You've got the recently revamped versions of
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom. Then there's all the great offerings coming on May 26, 2026:
Soarin' Across America in
EPCOT,
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, along with all the fun surprises debuting for
Cool Kids' Summer. It's safe to say you're in for an amazing visit!
If you have any other questions,
please feel free to reach out again.
You are clear for takeoff,
Matt
