MouseHouseNews.net recently did a deep dive into the specifics of each dining plan. As a brief refresher, these popular add-ons provide the convenience of having prepaid meals during your Disney vacation. Both versions of the dining plan also include one resort refillable mug per person. Your meal and snack credits roll over day to day, and any unused credits will expire at 11:59pm on your checkout day.
What Else To Know About This Special Offer
Besides the deadline to book (April 30th) and the valid arrival dates listed above, there are a couple of other things you should keep in mind about this Special Offer:
- First, free Disney Dining Plans are extremely popular. The number of packages available for this deal is limited, so you will want to book as soon as possible if you want to take advantage of the deal.
- Additionally, everyone in the room must be on the same package.
- Finally, don’t forget that gratuity is not included in the dining plans. You’ll still need to tip your server at locations where tipping is customary.
If you have already booked a vacation package with qualifying arrival dates, you can still apply this offer to your existing package. You can do this yourself, or you can have a Travel Advisor do it for you. Don’t have a Travel Advisor? I’ve got great news!
