2024 Free Dining at Disney World Dates & Info
The Free Disney Dining Plan is a great Walt Disney World vacation package discount. This covers info, tips for booking, current dates, predictions & rumors for future dates around Halloween & Christmas, and answers to questions including whether this deal is “worth it.” (Updated April 11, 2024.)
Let’s start with the good news, which is that Walt Disney World has brought back the paid Disney Dining Plan (DDP) in 2024! If you’re unfamiliar with the DDP, we’d direct you to our comprehensive Guide to the 2024 Disney Dining Plan. That covers the basics, what the DDP includes, whether the Disney Dining Plan (paid) is worth the money, and much more.
Free Dining is now available for travel dates from July 1 through December 21, 2024 thanks to a ‘second wave’ of the special offer released in April. If those dates don’t work for your vacation–as discussed below in the rumors & speculation section–we’re hopeful that there’s another wave of Free Dining for 2024. If you want to be notified immediately when more 2024 discounts are released, sign up here for our FREE Walt Disney World newsletter.
We’ve consistently notified our subscribers when Free Dining and other Walt Disney World deals are going to drop. Either in advance of their release or on the day they go live at ~7 a.m., which typically gives you a 2+ hour head start on Disney’s official announcement. That may not seem like much, but it makes a huge difference when booking–it means that you won’t have to wait on hold for hours on the phone or in a long virtual queue online.
In the last several months, Walt Disney World has released over a dozen different discounts, including some that run all the way through October 2024. There are even targeted deals available through December 25, 2024. This is a huge change as compared to 2021-2022, when many dates didn’t have discounts at all due to revenge travel and guest spending being so strong. That coupled with capacity is why the Disney Dining Plan took so long to return in the first place. Those are both non-factors now, and things are more or less back to 2019 norms.
This is all relevant to the return of Free Dining in 2024 because the deal is not offered out of corporate benevolence, but as an aggressive move to help boost resort occupancy numbers. That wasn’t necessary for the last couple of years due to pent-up demand. However, that has changed significantly in the span of about a year, and now Walt Disney World is pulling several “levers” to try to incentivize demand in 2024.
On that note, here are some predictions about subsequent waves of 2024 Free Dining at Walt Disney World…
2024 Free Dining Forecast & Rumors
In the last year or so, Walt Disney World has released a couple of different discounts that we’d categorize as Free Dining “adjacent.” They are the same types of promos and are meant to appeal to those would’ve been inclined to book Free Dining, but they generally are not as good. The most notable examples are the “Free” Disney Dining Card Deal for 2024 and the 50% Off Tickets & Dining Plans Discount for Kids in Spring & Summer 2024.
These discounts can be very good for some families, but they are not the “real” Free Dining. For many Walt Disney World vacation planners, the above offers are still a better offer than percentage savings on a room. For almost everyone, they’re inferior to the full Free Dining. So a step in the right direction, but not still more like “Diet” Free Dining than the original formula.
The good news is that, as mentioned above, Free Dining is now available for the following arrival dates:
- July 1 to July 31, 2024
- September 1 to September 7, 2024
- December 9 to December 21, 2024
You can book the deal directly via Walt Disney World’s official site here.
Rather than doing the work yourself, we’d recommend requesting a FREE no obligation quote from Be Our Guest Vacations, an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner and having those travel agents book for you. They’ll assist you with the planning process, help you choose the most economical dates, best add-ons, etc.
Equally as important, they’ll help you with discount comparison shopping. There are a ton of different discounts currently available for Walt Disney World in 2024, and that number is only going to grow! So what you see now isn’t necessarily everything that’ll be available for your travel dates.
Some of you have asked about the likelihood of Free Dining for additional dates in 2024. We’ll start with the bad news, which is that there’s almost zero chance of Free Dining for travel dates before July 2024. I guess there’s an outside possibility if hotel occupancy numbers remain really soft and Walt Disney World gets desperate.
I’d put the chances of that at under 1%, though. Disney is pretty good at forecasting resort occupancy, and if the numbers or projections were bad between now and June 2024, the company would’ve already offered Free Dining for those dates. Suffice to say, if you’re traveling before the start of the current wave of 2024 Free Dining dates, you should book a different special offer ASAP.
About the only reason there’s even a ~1% chance of Free Dining before July 2024 is in the event of a sudden recession or cataclysmic economic occurrence that results in Walt Disney World needing to act aggressively ASAP to shore up business. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen, as such a scenario would obviously have negative real world implications far beyond Free Dining.
With that in mind, we previously predicted that Free Dining would be released in between two and three waves, with the first promos being released in early January and late March or April. As it turns out, both were correct. But that doesn’t necessarily close the door on Free Dining being released again in 2024.
At this point, it wouldn’t be completely surprising if there’s a third wave of Free Dining, just as was the case in 2019. Normally, special offers occur on a timeline–and the second wave of Free Dining includes travel dates in December–the 12th month of the year. That alone would seem to close the door on a third wave of Free Dining.
However, Walt Disney World has been toying with discounts this year, pulling and reinstating them in a ‘Disney Vault’ style strategy to create a false sense of urgency. This approach seems to have three goals: getting people to book earlier, for longer durations, and to fill unsold rooms relatively last minute.
The only reason I could see a third wave this year is if Walt Disney World occupancy targets end up falling short of expectations for August through November, and they need to scramble to offer something last minute. Given the dates for the second wave of Free Dining and this strategy, there’s a definite possibility of a third wave of Free Dining.
The best month of eligibility being the closest one (July 2024), skipping August entirely and having limited dates in September–the two slowest months of the year–and then having availability again in December is suggestive of this approach. To be clear, this doesn’t meant that it definitely will happen. Whereas we thought a second wave was all but certain, a third wave is about 50/50.
It just doesn’t seem like the dates have been chosen on the basis of actual occupancy projections. It looks more like there’s near-term urgency to fill rooms in July, which is fast-approaching, followed by a desire to entice in December. Another wave of Free Dining for August through September (and maybe bits of October and November) doesn’t seem the least bit far-fetched. But it’s equally possible they’ll stick to room-only deals for those timeframes, or roll with another novel discount.
For those wondering (since it’s a common question), the main reason Walt Disney World would not yet release discounts for October 2024 and beyond also relates to resort occupancy numbers. Again, the company is really good at projecting hotel bookings, but it’s just like a weather forecast–more accurate as dates draw nearer and less accurate further into the future. Walt Disney World only wants to offer discounts as necessary to fill hotel rooms, so they release discounts in phases.
This rolling nature of Walt Disney World special offers isn’t really a prediction–it’s what happens consistently year in and year out. The company typically releases its first batch of discounts in early January, next set in late March or early April, and another during the summer (our guess would be June 18, 2024 for the next special offer release). Aside from the early January release, none of these dates are really set in stone–they’ve been inconsistent in the last few years.
What we also know is that Walt Disney World has been following the familiar formula of 2019 discounts. It might seem odd that they’d go back 5 years to replicate a special offer strategy, but that’s precisely what’s happening. That’s in part because things have been abnormal at Walt Disney World for a while–2024 is the first year of Free Dining since then–and in part because the post-pent-up demand economic environment is very similar to 2019.
If you look back to the 2019 playbook, there were three waves of the discount released–to different groups (general public vs. Disney Visa) and different date ranges. Back then, the third wave of Free Dining–which was the one that included dates for September, November and December–was released in mid-July.
It’s possible that Walt Disney World will replicate that strategy exactly, releasing a second wave of Free Dining in early April and then the final set of dates in the summer. It’s possible these offers will be targeted, either to Disney+ subscribers or Disney Visa cardholders, meaning Free Dining might not be offered to the general public at all.
In any case, there’s a reasonable chance of another wave of Free Dining for additional travel dates between July and December 2024. If that turns out to be accurate, I’d also bet on it being released before the beginning of July 2024. Even though Walt Disney World is pulling from the 2019 playbook, they’re doing it earlier and more aggressively. It’s hard to see them waiting until that late in the summer for another round of Free Dining.
Obviously, this is only a prediction–the actual dates could vary a little or lot, and it’s entirely possible that nothing is released at all!
Again, we want to emphasize that this is not a rumor–it’s simply us analyzing resort bookings and past precedent on discounts, and making an educated guess. Walt Disney World could go another direction entirely, as the company has stated repeatedly that they want to reduce discounting.
However, Disney also likes high levels of per guest spending numbers, and no other special offer helps achieve these high per caps like Free Dining. Despite “free” being in the name, it’s an advantageous promo from Disney’s perspective because it locks guests into full-price hotels and tickets. It also keeps guests on-site for the most part, since they have “free” meals at Walt Disney World. No other discount accomplishes all of these important goals for the company.
Either way, will be closely monitoring the 2024 Free Dining situation, keeping our ears open for more news about a return of Free Dining. Should something–anything–be released or rumored, we’ll send you an alert if you sign up for our FREE Walt Disney World newsletter.
We’ve consistently notified email subscribers when Free Dining and other deals on the day they go live at ~6 or 7 a.m., which is a 2+ hour head start on Disney’s official announcement at 9 am. That makes a huge difference when booking Free Dining–you won’t have to wait on hold for hours on the phone.
Free Dining FAQ
Free Dining is Walt Disney World’s most complicated promotion, and can be a huge headache to book. Between limited availability and navigating a seas of rules and restrictions, it’s easy to make mistakes. This section of the post covers the rules, terms and conditions, and policies that generally govern the Free Dining promotion.
We always recommend that Walt Disney World first-timers (or regulars who just don’t want to deal with the hassle) request a FREE quote from Be Our Guest Vacations, an Authorized Disney Travel Planner. Most legit travel agents do not charge for booking Walt Disney World vacations (and you don’t pay a premium for them–Disney pays them commission), so that’s really the easiest way to go.
With this special offer, Walt Disney World guests booking vacation packages with non-discounted resort hotels and park tickets receive the DDP for each member of their party for no additional charge. For obvious reasons (who doesn’t love free food?!), the promotion is incredibly popular and some resorts that offer free dining tend to sell out quickly.
Guests booking the Free Dining promotion for Value or Moderate Resorts will receive the Quick Service Disney Dining Plan, with guests staying at Deluxe or Deluxe Villa Resorts receiving the standard Disney Dining Plan.
There are some room exclusions for the Free Dining promo: 3-bedroom villas, campsites, Cabins at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Wilderness Lodge, Bungalows at Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, and Little Mermaid Rooms at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort.
These resorts and room tiers are all not eligible for Free Dining. Additionally, room inventory is limited across all resorts. In practice, this means that when you go to book, a particular category (standard view, garden view, etc.) may not be available for your travel dates–or your travel dates may not be available at a specific resort at all.
To take advantage of Free Dining, there’s also the requirement that guests purchase tickets that include either a minimum 4-day Park Hopper or the Park Hopper Plus option. Additionally, a 4-night minimum stay is required with a maximum stay of fourteen nights.
This means you can’t purchase discounted Walt Disney World tickets from an authorized reseller, which we normally highly recommend in our Walt Disney World trip planning advice. This is something to keep in mind when doing the math to determine if “Free Dining” is a good value for you.
When it comes to Free Dining, doing the math is incredibly important. Other discounts (such as a room-only discount) might be better for your family. Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch; you have forfeit an alternate discount to qualify for Free Dining. We break down some of the math in our “Is Free Dining Worth It?” post.
If you have already booked a vacation package with an arrival date that qualifies for Free Dining, we recommend using the “modify reservation” link in your booking to apply the promotion to your package. This is the quickest and easiest way to apply the promotion.
You might see other advice that recommends calling to book Free Dining. This is outdated. If you call Walt Disney World’s reservation line, you will likely wait on hold for an hour (or hours) until you’re able to speak to an agent. Booking or modifying your reservation online is far quicker and easier.
Even if the online system crashes (which has happened) or moves slowly due to all the traffic, it’s easier to just keep trying online. Unfortunately, booking online isn’t always possible and technical errors do happen…so you might have to call and wait on hold.
If you are wondering which hotel to book for the Free Dining promotion, check out our new Best Walt Disney World Hotels for Free Dining post. It gives our preferred option for each resort tier. Oh, and don’t forget to make some ADRs for the best and most popular Walt Disney World restaurants.
With this Free Dining offer, Value and Moderate Resort guests receive the Quick Service Disney Dining Plan during the promotion. Guests at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts receive the standard Disney Dining Plan.
We highly recommend making Advance Dining Reservations as soon as possible. Yes, even before Free Dining is offered, if you can. Everyone gobbles up the good ADRs quickly for Free Dining dates, so if you don’t book early, you will be stuck eating counter service or unpopular restaurants for the duration of your trip.
To answer some other common questions: yes, you must purchase tickets with the offer even if you already have them (or an Annual Pass). No, bookings made with Disney Vacation Club points are not eligible for the offer. No, you cannot “stack” this offer with a percentage-off room discount (at least not in the U.S.). For those wondering about other Walt Disney World discounts, check out our Current Walt Disney World Discount Offers post for what’s presently available.
For details about which tier of the Disney Dining Plan includes or for recommendations about which restaurants to book to maximize your use of the DDP, please see our comprehensive Disney Dining Plan Overview Page.
Note that the Free Disney Dining Plan promotion is always based upon arrival dates. For example, if Free Dining runs June 27 to June 28 and you arrive on June 28 and stay until July 5, you are eligible for Free Dining–even though it’s blocked out for July 5 arrivals. (You didn’t arrive on July 5 in that scenario–you arrived in June.)
However, if it’s offered those same dates and you arrive on June 26 and stay for the same dates, you are not eligible for Free Dining, even though more of your stay falls during an “eligible” period than the first example’s. The work-around for this is doing a split stay, with the ineligible arrival nights part of one vacation and a second vacation starting at the first valid “arrival” date and continuing thereafter. Again, arrival dates are what matters with Free Dining.
In the section below, we have historical Free Dining dates for the last few years. The rest of what follows is historical information about the Free Disney Dining Plan promotion…
Historical Information
The following is not pertinent to current bookings, but we have found that readers find it useful to have details about past Free Dining promos when planning for the future and what to expect. Note that the dates are pretty consistent from year to year, with slight shifts for holidays, weekends, and special events, or other things that may be excluded from the Free Disney Dining Plan promotion.
Last year, there was no early booking window for Disney Visa cardholders, but there was an expanded date range (see below). The two years before, Disney Visa cardholders did have an early booking window. Exact dates are listed below. Most years, the general public is able to book Free Dining packages 5 days after Disney Visa cardholders can book.
In years past, Free Dining has been announced in late April, with booking opening first for Disney Visa credit card holders and the general public a few days later. The last couple of years, there was no early window for Disney Visa cardholders.

Your Thoughts
Do you think a third wave of Free Dining will be released in June 2024, or will it take longer before Walt Disney World “needs” to get that aggressive with deals? Are you a fan of the “free” dining promotion? Have any tips for free dining rookies? If you’ve booked Free Dining, what did you think about your experience with the deal? If you were unable to get it, where/when were you unsuccessful? Let us know what you think of the promotion and whether you’re planning on taking advantage of it in the comments!
So, is the BOG still offering the quick service for breakfast and if so, when will the reservations be available to book?
This may be a dumb question, but if I book a vacation at a Deluxe resort, and I sign up for the free dining plan, can I use my dining plan at quick service as well as sit down/reservation restaurants? Or am I restricted to eating only at sit downs?
You can use it anywhere that accepts the Dining Plan… so enjoy your Disney Delights…
Is free dining offered for the Art of Animation suites typically? If so Is it only the quick service ?
Usually only the Mermaid Rooms…and yes it is only Quick Service.
Actually, the Mermaid rooms are always excluded from the offer. The suites are included and it is quick service.
so sorry, I meant to finish that “usually only the mermaid rooms are exempt from the Free Dining offer….” Thanks Taryn
We’re staying at Port Orleans Riverside with a check-in date of November 27th….they for sure won’t offer it there aside from those select September dates?
Hello, We are planning to take advantage of this free dining offer but we do have a question. There will be 3 of us in a room. If we booked the package with free dining then 1 of us decided to back out, can we just modify our reservation and remove her to the package without charge? Will we able to retain the free dining package for just the 2 of us?
Yes! You can take a person off and you two will still get the free dining. You can also add a person(s) at a later date and that person receives free dining as well.
Wow! That’s awesome. I kinda expected that I can take a person off but didn’t expect that I can add a person to the package with free dining. I thought if we add a person, she will have to pay the dining plan. Hopefully it doesn’t change.. Thanks!
I heard there have been no Be Our Guest dinner reservations since July. Is this true? I heard it may be a result of the restaurant switching to Signature status.
My Disney travel agent has also told me she heard rumors of this, and if you try booking a dinner reservation past August 1st, it will say none are available. We are traveling the last week of September and are hoping to at least be able to have breakfast or lunch at BOG.
Do you know if we booked a package with the old room/ticket rates and add on a free DDP plan when (if) it becomes available, do we still get to keep the old rates from our original package with it, or do those change to the new rates as well?
Thank you!
I just chatted with a CM and asked this exact question. He said that if our reservation qualified without any modifications than our ticket prices/package deal would not change. They would apply the promo to the existing reservation price.
Does anyone know if there are certain category of rooms that increase your chance of getting free dining? For example, can you have a standard room or does it have to be preferred? I believe you had to add the hopper to park tickets.
I think it is more being online at the right time. I think since there is probably higher demand for value accommodation those free dining go first
I noticed in the past that the standard room and three-bedroom villa at Polynesian was not considered for free dining. Do you know whether or not the deluxe studio villa was eligible for free dining in past years?

IS THE ERA OF FREE DINING OVER?
WDW is currently booking a dining offer to select value resorts, the catch is, it’s one quick service meal per person per day…,PERIOD…Nothing Else, no snack, one quick service…Done! WHAT UP WITH THIS ???
YEAH! I accidentally booked this thinking it was the NORMAL all in Quick Dining plan to realize the catch! I’m hoping I can reverse out this plan if the REAL free dining plan is offered. I don’t consider this much of deal or incentive if this is the future of the ‘free’ dining plan! Was and am very upset!
I am at WDW now and see the offer to call and book to save before I check-out. It lists the projected December free dining dates. First of all, would I be able to combine the offers if I get up to 20-30 % off the room since I am booking before I check-out? Second, can you go in and modify this offer and add free dining when/if it becomes available?
You can combine discounts–you’ll have to choose one or the other.
We’ve been to DL 3 times since 2011. Looking forward to switching it up and visiting WDW. Therefor I’ve started planning for late last week of September 2018 or longer depending on Crowd levels. Since we’ve never had the opportunity to book with free dining options? When should i book? We have in the past always used the military salute so purchase our tickets and hotel separately.
My family and I are planning to book a trip for September 2018. Historically our dates have fallen in the free meal plan promo.
If we do not get the free meal plan we have estimated that it will actually be better for us to skip the meal plan.. Does anyone know if you are able to add a meal plan at a later time (if the promo gets announced)? We plan to book Magic Your Way straight through Disney with an on site resort (that has been part of the promo in the past) and tickets. OR is possible to book everything meal plan included and then cancel the meal plan if there is no promo? Would we then be able to add the promo retroactively??
I appreciate the help! I’ve been to Disney as a kid but this is the first time I’ve been in charge of planning a trip for multiple people as an adult 🙂
I will give you the example of how we did it in February for our September visit…..We booked the Magic Your Way around 2 months before the actual dates and Free Dining were offered. With the help of this Blog we narrowed it down to a time that we thought free dining would be offered. We booked through our Expedia Agent..Thanks again to this Blog we went to see our Agent about a week before it was announced to ask if they heard and they said they had their mouse ears on and were ready to add it to our trip and several others waiting. When the offer was announced our Agent knew we were waiting for Free Dining and called us around 9 am that morning to tell us that they added the Free Dining to our plan. They did this without calling us because they knew that we wanted it. He found out that they changed it this year to quick serve for Moderates and asked if we wanted to upgrade to Table Service. This cost us about 135.00 US each but it was well worth it. There are only a certain amount of rooms at any of the resorts allocated to Free Dining so you need to be on the phone as soon as it is announced. We lucked out and kept our resort and got the Dining…. Hope this helps
Thanks for the info!
So did you already have dining on your plan? Or did your agent add it when the announcement was made regarding free dining?
No problem…..No we did not have dining on our plan. Our agent knew we wanted it added as soon as it was announced. We were hoping it would fall during our visit based on this Blogs info on previous dates. Disney changed the dining plan for the Fall this year and all value and moderates were quick serve and we really wanted the character dining so we upgraded to table service. It was well worth it for us.
I would like more information on the bounce back. Not sure if I totally understand. Can we book the week of May 29 2018 and just sign up when we get there? Can anyone clarify for me .
I would seriously look at the restaurants you might be going to before signing up for the “free” Dining Plan (bounce back or otherwise). Disney also offers room discounts that might be a better deal in the long run.
Unless you plan on doing several character buffet meals or eating the most expensive thing on the menu at every meal, the dining plan (in my experience) is not a good deal at all. And now, with the “free” alcoholic beverage, it’s even more of a dud if you don’t drink or have kids between 10 and 20. They’ll be on the adult meal plan, but won’t be able to drink the “free” alcohol.
I originally had the Disney Dining plan this year, but I went and looked at the menus for the restaurants we’d be dining at. I estimated what we’d order, added the tips and 6.5% taxes, then threw in some snacks and the refillable mug (at close to $17 a piece). I was shocked to discover that if I paid out of pocket for our meals, I’d save around $300….and that’s just for one adult and one child! I can’t imagine how much if it were more than just the two of us.
To be fair, though, our restaurants did not include any over-priced character buffets. We’ve done them in past visits and the food has been disappointing (to say the least). But it was including restaurants like Be Our Guest, Yak & Yeti, Beaches & Cream, and Via Napoli (to name a few).
So check before you pay an arm and a leg for your meals. You might be surprised to see you’d save a lot more if you paid out of pocket. Then save on your room by booking on one of Disney’s package specials instead.
Tom and Sarah
Just returned from a week at WDW. We stayed at Caribbean Beach. It was fine . Stayed in Jamaica , got the $75.00/ per night credit.
The had some challenges with transportation , internal transfers.
Question, we did not receive our bounce back offer in our room. I called WDW from our resort the last night there , was on hold like 30 minutes. Hung up.
What would be my process going forward? Do u feel if I called WDW they would honor the bounce back offer? Thanks for all your tips ! They have helped us immensely !
I’m traveling there at end of August 2018. I’m not sure what bounce back is, but would free dining be offered the same time the bounce back off is? I’ll be there when the bounce back offer us given, but this is my first time to Disney in 6 years. I currently have my stay and dining booked, but if I can qualify for free deals, I’d like to know asuch about it as possible.
Disney not Fisney …should of read before sending!
Seriously,,, your criticizing his misspell,,tisk tisk,, i am embarrased for you.
She is correcting her own error Barbara. 🙂
We were at Fisney during Irma and asked about the bounce back offer for 2018 and were told there were none. Very disappointed to find out there is. Wish I could do something but am sure it is too late now!! 🙁
I was also there during Irma. They allowed me to book after my initial package was done (but I was still on property) because reservations were closed over the storm days. I’d use that as your angle.
There was no formal offer paperwork in my room. There was, instead, a Disney must-dos style magazine. The bounceback offer was incredibly subtly featured in the inside cover. Because I knew about it I got the number from the front desk, but if I hadn’t been bored during the storm and read everything in my room I NEVER would have realized that was the bounceback info.
