Kids can eat free at Disney World in 2026: What to know about the deal

Your next trip to Disney World just got more affordable.

Guests who book a stay at one of the 25-plus Disney Resort hotels in Orlando will receive free dining plans for kids ages 3 to 9 when they purchase a dining plan for other members of their group (ages 10 and older). The offer is valid for trips scheduled for 2026.

Dining plans include meals and snacks, but not gratuity. According to the Disney Parks Blog, this offer can be combined with select other deals that Disney may reveal over the course of the year.

There will be two fewer Disney places to eat next year.

The attraction Muppet*Vision 3D is closing June 7. Muppet fans commonly pair the show with dining at PizzeRizzo. The restaurant — run by the wise-cracking Muppet Rizzo — which offers pizzas, salads, sandwiches and more — will close the same day, according to Disney World’s website.

Both establishments will be replaced with a “Monsters, Inc.”-themed area, according to an August 2024 blog post.

Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, a restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will also shutter on May 11 to make way for the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land, according to the park’s website.

Families can book their 2026 trip online, or over the phone at 407-934-7639 if they already have theme park admission.
