If you’ve been dreaming about your family’s next Disney vacation, there’s some magical news you’ll want to hear… Beginning April 22, 2025, you can officially book your 2026 Walt Disney World vacation — and trust us, 2026 is shaping up to be the best year ever for families with little ones!
FREE Disney Dining Plan for Kids
Here’s the big headline: families staying at a Disney Resort hotel in 2026 will receive a FREE Disney Dining Plan for kids ages 3–9 when purchasing a package that includes a dining plan for adults. That means your little Mouseketeers will enjoy everything from Mickey-shaped waffles to park snacks and kid-favorite meals — at no additional cost.
And yes, this offer can be combined with other select special offers that may come out later, making it a win-win!
Even More Disney Resort Perks in 2026
Staying on property brings so much value and convenience to your vacation. Here’s what Disney Resort hotel guests can continue to enjoy in 2026:
• 30 minutes of early park entry every single day at all four parks
• Extended evening hours at select parks for Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resort guests
• Complimentary transportation across the resort by monorail, boat, bus, and Skyliner
• Free standard parking at the resorts, theme parks, and water parks
• Early access to dining reservations and Lightning Lane bookings
• Free water park admission on check-in day (returning Summer 2026!)
The Magic Doesn’t Stop at the Parks
Your Disney Resort hotel is a destination all its own. From themed pools and activities to character dining and surprise visits from Disney friends, there’s so much to enjoy without even leaving your resort. And with the outstanding Disney Cast Member service, you’ll feel the magic every step of the way.
