Jeff says
I have been going to Disney world for the 17 years and staying on at value motels.
I had 4 generations of my family last time I went
But now sorry to say but at the change with the tickets and the price of them.
Charging to park at the hotel
If you stay at the higher priced hotels you get the special Peeks i guess disney has lost a family for good
Margaret says
Do the parents have to buy the same meal plan?? Is it quick service or the table service meal plan?? Thank you
DFB Sarah says
Margaret, all guests on the reservation must be on the same package (although at this point, Free Dining for adults hasn’t been announced…yet), and all three Disney Dining Plans — Quick Service, Standard, and Deluxe — are eligible.
Cindy says
What about those of us with a 5-day package?
DFB Sarah says
Cindy, the details specify 3 day/night, but we would expect that, yes, you could apply the Kids Free Dining to a longer trip.
DizzyMom says
That is the worst deal I’ve ever seen. Illusion of a deal is more like it. I’d do better to pay for meals for everyone out of pocket than the high prices of adult dining plan for everyone else and get free kids meals, not that I have kids that age anymore. Which is another problem with this ‘deal’ only the smallest of children get it. It’s bad enough that I pay such high prices for my eleven year olds to get in and stand in lines for half a day. But being forced to pay adult prices for everything and get overlooked for deals, ugh. Not very magical, excluding the majority of customers. Pass, but thank you for the heads up dear food bloggers.
Roland says
Im going april 9 thru 12th. Can i get this deal
DFB Sarah says
Roland, the announcement specifies stays between May 28 and August 30, 2018.
Samantha says
I have a trip booked 6/3-6/7 and I did not use a TA, would I call Disney directly to see if this can be applied to my current trip I’ve already paid for??
DFB Sarah says
Samantha, that is correct.
Lauren says
Is there a promo code my travel.agent can’t find this offer
DFB Sarah says
Lauren, as far as I know, there’s no promo code. One would want to request it when calling for reservations — keeping in mind that it has limited availability and specific requirements for dates and resorts.
Kelly says
We are taking advantage of the dining plan in September. We have a 2 year old. What does she get as far as dining?
DFB Sarah says
Kelly, two-year-olds (and any kiddos under three) are not included in the DDP, but if you use table service credits for buffets or all-you-care-to-enjoy dining, you can get a plate for your toddler. At quick service, you’ll have to pay out of pocket or share.
