One of Walt Disney World's most popular promotions are the free dining discounts released for their resort hotels.
These promotions include access to one of the dining plans at no additional cost. The type of dining plan depends on the level of hotel category booked, higher value hotels receive the higher cost dining plan, for example.
The catch with this promotion is it's only for select guests and you must book FAST! Keep reading for all the details.

Free Dining for Disney Visa Cardmembers
This offer is exclusively for Disney Visa Cardmembers and must be booked through March 26, 2025. This is a limited time discount so act quickly!
Disney Visa Cardmembers get a free dining plan when they purchase a non-discounted (this is often the catch, you can't combine promotions!) 4-night, 4-day Walt Disney World vacation package. Vacation packages must also include a 4-day theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option.
This discounted offer is good for arrivals on most nights from:
- June 29 to September 30, 2025
- October 20 to November 1, 2025
- December 6 to December 22, 2025
It's common to see free dining during September but it's exciting to also see this offer during December which is a popular time to visit Walt Disney World due to the holiday season.
If you're not a Disney Visa Cardmember, don't worry, I wouldn't be surprised to see a free dining offer released soon for all guests. Often the Disney Visa Cardmembers get the first chance at these offers before it opens up to all other guests.
