FREE Dining for Kids Is BACK at Disney World for 2026

A day at Disney World is getting even more expensive in 2026. However, there are certain things you can get for free — that’s right, FREE!

Kids’ meal at Restaurantosaurus

One of the most expensive things to do at Disney World is eat, and the costs really rack up when you have kids with you. That being said, there’s a way your kiddos can eat for FREE in Disney World in 2026! Let’s take a look at all the details.

It was announced way back in June that Disney was bringing back the Free Disney Dining Plan for Kids for 2026. If you’re wondering how it works, don’t worry, we got you covered.

Kids meal at Backlot Express

When you book a stay at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel in 2026, AND purchase a dining plan with your vacation package for other members of your party, you can qualify for a free Disney dining package for kids 3-9.

This is a KIDS meal!

To book online, your package must also include theme park tickets. You can book by phone if you already have a valid admission to the theme parks. The number of packages with this deal is limited, but still available at this time!

Kids’ Meal

Kids must choose from the children’s menu if it’s available at the restaurant. That being said, the deal can be combined with other select special offers. Remember, the type of free dining plan your child gets depends on what dining plan you get for yourself, between the Disney Dining Plan or Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan.
