Disney World - Free Dining

Monday April 16, 2007
family travel Disney World
Once again, guests staying at a Disney World Resort can save if they travel late summer/ early fall. "Magic Your Way" packages to the theme parks are sold with several options, one of which is a Dining Plan that gives visitors two meals and a snack per day at a choice of over 100 restaurants. Guests who travel from Aug. 26 and Sept. 22, 2007 -- and buy a package with resort stay-- can get the Dining Plan option free. (Sample savings, on 5-night package: $194 per adult.)

Think it's too expensive to stay on-property? Remember that Disney World has three types of resorts, Luxury, Moderate and Value; the Value Resorts can sleep four at a very reasonable price, and guests have all the perks of staying at a Disney World Resort.

You need to book this promotion by June 24 2007, and use a special code.

What's the Dining Plan?
"Magic Your Way" packages to Disney World theme parks are sold with several options (-such as the popular "ParkHopper" option that lets you visit multiple parks on any day.)

The Dining Plan is an option available to guests staying at Disney World Resorts. Guests can choose from over 100 participating Disney restaurants in the theme parks, at Disney World resorts, or in Downtown Disney. For each night of their package, get one table-service meal (including appetizer, entrée, dessert, non-alcoholic beverage and gratuity/service charge), one snack, and one quick-service meal including entrée, non-alcoholic beverage and dessert.

Free Dining Plan Deal
Guests buy a "Walt Disney Travel Company’s Magic Your Way Package plus Dining Plan". Sample prices, for 5-night, 6-day package, are as low as $455* per adult, $223 per junior, and $184 per child, based on a Disney Value Resort standard room. Two adults and two kids can stay in the room. (See more about Value Resorts, below.) Package includes accommodations, theme park tickets, and the Dining Plan. Other lengths of stay are also available.

This promotion is available for most nights from Aug. 26 and Sept. 22, 2007. To book, Call 1-407-939-STAR or your travel agent, or click Free Offer, at the Disney World site, and request package code ZIE. Book by June 24 2007, and book earlier if possible; the number of packages available at this price is limited.

Disney World's Value Resorts
The four Value Resorts are: Disney's All-Star Music Resort, All-Star Movies Resort, All-Star Sports Resort, and Disney's Pop Century Resorts.

Guests at all Disney Resorts get some nice perks:

  • ‘Extra Magic Hours’: each day, one of the theme parks opens one hour early and/or stays open 3 hours late, exclusively for guests at Disney Resorts
  • ‘Disney’s Magical Express’: complimentary round-trip motor coach transportation and luggage delivery service from Orlando International Airport to your Disney Resort hotel. (Book this service at least 10 days in advance).
  • complimentary buses throughout Walt Disney World
  • parcel delivery from theme park shops to your Resort
  • assured entrance to the theme parks on busy days
*Savings based on non-discounted price for the same package. Theme park tickets are for one park per day and must be used within 14 days of first use.
