Your kids can eat for free at Florida's Walt Disney World next year—here's how
Miami's full of amazing museums, parks and playgrounds at which to entertain your kids, but if you're looking for an extra magical experience for the youngins, you can't beat a trip to Walt Disney World. And next time you decide to take that quick (er, four-hour) jaunt up to Orlando for a Disney-fied day, your kids might just be able to eat for free, based on new dining plans that the Orlando resort is rolling out next year. Yes, beginning next year, visitors to Walt Disney World will be able to get a free dining plan for kids ages 3 to 9 years old when they purchase a Walt Disney Travel Company package for you and your children that includes a room at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a dining plan for each Guest ages 10 and up. That means if you're a couple with two kids under ten, you'll only have to cover the parents' meals and snacks. There's an option of two different dining plans as part of the kid-friendly deal: the Disney Dining Plan and the Quick-Service Dining Plan. The former spans both Quick-Service and Table-Service restaurants—including character dining locations—and includes one Quick-Service Meal per night, one Table-Service Meal per night, one snack or nonalcoholic beverage per night and a refillable resort drink mug. The latter is a more fast and easy option for on-the-go families: think two Quick-Service meals per night, one snack or nonalcoholic beverage per night and the refillable resort mug. Interested in taking advantage of the free dining deal? You can book your 2026 Disney vacation on Disney World's official website —and as with most things Disney-related, reservations need to be made in advance for most restaurants throughout the theme park. A full day of Disney fun plus a whole lot of free food? That should keep the kiddos properly tuckered out during that post-park drive back to Miami.

Walt Disney World announces ‘free kids meal'; Check who is eligible and how to grab one
Walt Disney World on Monday announced that it will offer free meals to kids starting next year. The statement from Walt Disney World comes before the sales opening of 2026 hotel and ticket, which starts on Tuesday. A message on the Walt Disney World's website states that the offer is available to kids aged between 3 to 9 and is applicable for arrivals in 2026. However, there are a few catches to maximize the benefit: For the duration of their visit, all visitors must sign up for the offered dining plan, which will be free for the kids. Moreover, adult parents or guardians are required to stay in a room with eligible kids at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel. Both the Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Dining Plan, which provide combinations of meals, snacks, and beverages, are available to guests. Disney World suggested making reservations in advance due to the limited number of travel packages that can be combined with the complimentary dinner offer. Disney typically doesn't let guests combine the free dinner promotion with other offers, but in 2026, that won't be the case, according to The Points Guy. According to reports, Disney will also reinstate a 2025 perk that was very popular among its visitors. This included free admission to the water park for travelers lodging at Disney World hotels on the day of check-in.
