Walt Disney World is rolling out a hotel-kids dining plan offer for 2026, and reservations for next year can be made as of Tuesday, the resort has announced.

Visitors who stay at one of the more than 25 Disney hotels will get a free dining plan for the kids. As usual, Disney defines kids as ages 3-9. As always with the Disney Dining Plan, everyone in the party (age 10 and older) must participate in the program to get the kids dining plan. Pricing varies with dates and length of stay.

This plan may be used in conjunction with other offers that may appear for 2026, Disney says.

The Disney Dining Plan is a prepaid program for on-property meals and snacks at select locations.

Disney World is currently offering a kids half-price ticket for theme park visits between May 27 and Sept. 20 with certain hotel stays.

This year, Disney is throwing in water park admission on check-in day for its hotel guests, which will likely be in place for summer 2026, too. Other continuing benefits for an on-property stay include early theme park entry, free parking, early access to dining and Lightning Lane reservations.
