Disney World can be seriously expensive if you aren’t being mindful. From hotel fees to ticket prices and special events, there are tons of ways that the cash can pile up before you even know it.

Luckily for us, Disney drops new discounts fairly frequently, although not all of them are created equally! That’s why we’re breaking down the best deal everyone should know about right here.
There are several discounts throughout the year, but you have to know where to look to find them! Disney does offer ways to save, but they don’t always make it super easy. Some deals will save you more cash than others, and not all of them are available to everyone visiting the parks.

In 2026, one of the best deals that anyone can get in on is the Kids Eat Free discount! In 2025, Disney announced that in 2026, kids can eat free when you stay at a Disney Resort hotel and purchase a dining plan for other members of the party, ages 10 and up!

The best part about this deal is that this free dining plan can even be combined with other select offers! That is often not the case for discounts, so that makes this deal even better. Staying in a Disney hotel also gives you perks like early theme park entry for all Disney Resort guests, and guests at Disney Deluxe Resorts will continue to get extended evening hours.

This deal does require you to purchase a dining plan for the adults in your party, but it saves money on your kids’ meals, which can add up over the course of your trip! The Disney Dining Plan makes your trip even more convenient because almost all of your food is prepaid, and you don’t have to pull your credit card out at dinner. It makes Disney almost like an all-inclusive vacation.

This deal is available all year, which is another reason it’s the number one deal to know about in 2026. There are other deals happening now, like the Early 2026 Discount. This deal lets you save up to $250 per night on a 4-night, 4-day room & ticket package at select resort hotels! It’s valid for most stays between February 22nd and July 25th, 2026. This deal can add up quickly. Disney tends to drop these discounts seasonally, so even if you miss the early 2026 window doesn’t mean you should give up the discount search.

Select groups like Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney+ Subscribers, teachers, nurses, and first responders can also qualify for deals! The Kids Eat Free deal is available to anyone who meets those qualifications. If you’re not sure where to start searching, let someone else do it for you!
If you’re looking for a travel agent to help with your vacation, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel. They’re experts in the field with over 20 years of vacation planning experience, and they can help take a bunch of the stress out of the entire booking process for you! 2026 can be the year of savings if you know where to look! As always, be sure to keep following AllEars for more news and updates.
