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!
Are “Polynesian Village Resort” and “Polynesian Villas and Bungalows” considered the same thing as far as promotion eligibility? Meaning both would be (in theory) excluded? They’re listed separately at the WDW website so I wondered if a Deluxe Studio room at the latter would qualify for free dining. Thank you! Your site has been an amazing resource!
They are separate resorts for the purposes of Free Dining (and any other promotion). Anything with ‘Villas’ in the name is different than the similarly-named ‘Resort’ hotels.
Thanks for the quick reply!
What Is the Latest Launch Date and Time for Free Dining Release?
DFB has announced that the Brits FD Offer is already announced, this makes me P.O.’ed that other countries have better access to perks than we do. Let Disney know about IT!
The UK offer is for 2019 and according to the comments on the post there isn’t a UK Free Dining offer for 2018.
For arrivals between January 1 — April 7, 2019 and April 26 — November 30, 2019, guests at participating Moderate Resorts will receive the Quick Service Dining Plan for free.
The free dining promotion is in essence, for the whole year!!! While we squabble for limited dates and poor availability. I guess there just so much more deserving than we are.
For those who called at 530am ET, how long for you to get thru. Wondering if I can get thru before going to work. Willing to get up but unsure how long I can on hold before going. Also when calling do they say how long the approx. wait it. Last question, what is the best number
Having called in the past (not for free dining) they do give you an estimated wait time. But I don’t believe the phone lines open until 7:00 am ET. Those that are getting up at 4:00 and 5:00 am are booking or modifying online.
A quick question to anyone with prior experience of Free Dining…
If I have booked 5 nights at Pop Century and am able to score Free Dining, but then I have booked three nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge using someone else’s DVC points that will run immedietly after the first 5 Days….
Can I save some credits from the Free dining and use them in the second part of the split stay?
You’ll be able to use them until midnight on the day you check out from the Pop Century portion.
Thanks for the reply Laura. Much appreciated.
Have we found out if the United States are going to be included in the free Dining??? I’m anxious to book. I don’t like to book prior because if rooms are full, they might not offer the deal. I keep checking Disney rewards because a few times in the past it was offered to reward members a day or two before general public.
How do you check Disney rewards? I have the card too but don’t know how to see the Park specials.
I would like to know as well
I always just google Disney Visa Card perks until I see this 🙂
https://disneyrewards.com/vacation-perks/
You also get a free meet and greet over at Epcot with a free digital download. Just make sure you have your card with you. The location is over by where Honey I shrunk the audience was.
They used to give you a print, but they stopped that last year.
Hi Tom,
Just call today our official Disney travel agent in México (dream destinations) and they confirmed the dates you posted from your south American fellows, they said they will be open for booking on April 24th.
Below the dates:
August 2 — September 29, 2018
November 24 — 27, 2018
December 7 — 23, 2018
As always you were right on
Any chance you can call them back and confirm that AoA is excluded from the deal?! That would be extremely appreciated 🙂
AoA is excluded on the Little Mermaid rooms, I checked back with them.
I know a lot of sites are saying April 23rd is when FD will be released in the US (and then there are many others saying the 24th).
Somewhere in this article Tom also said he thought it would be the 23rd. Are we thinking the 24th is the actual date now?
Last year it was the 24th, but that was a Monday, so with the 23rd being Monday this year…I’m leaning 23rd. Guess we’ll know soon enough.
Hello
I am wondering about the exclusion of the Family Suites at AoA…. historically they have been included in Free Dining. Any chance the US promo will include them? We booked for the end of August with that in mind!
Are the November dates correct? That seems really short.
I’m hoping there are more November dates as well.
I will admit I am a little bummed. We are going September 15-20 and I was hoping NOT to have free dining because I don’t want a busy crowd 🙁 We had gone years past the week before Thanksgiving with free dining and it was hit or miss with crowds. Magic Kingdom was a nightmare one day, while Epcot was empty the other.
We went during that time period this past year during free dining and it was super quiet (arrived only two days after parks reopened after the hurricane which probably contributed to the crowd level somewhat given all the cancelled vacations). I think the longest line we had was 20 minutes to meet a character. Fingers crossed it is quiet for you as well, I think historically it has been one of the slowest periods.
Yes due to hurricane. We were there the next week and it was packed.
Yes! We went that exact same week and it was packed! I’m starting to hope that the November dates are correct so maybe it won’t be as crowded lol!
Do you remember what time (eastern time zone) the free dining plan was released last year?
I set my alarm for 4 am ET and it wasn’t up then so I reset my alarm every 30-45 minutes to keep checking. I booked shortly before 6 am ET with no issue but am not sure how long it had been live at that point.
I recall 5:30.
Thank you both!
for free dining room exclusions , does anyone have any insight on which deluxe resorts will have rooms available? We are currently booked for Sept 3 at Polynesian just wondering which rooms will qualify for Free Dining .?
If it is like previous years I booked Boardwalk villas and Boardwalk Inn last for November with free Dining. I know Beach club was included but went fast and nothing was available.
Any word if there will be a discount available November 12-17? I’d be happy with anything at this point lol.
With Free Dining possibly being announced Monday, I’d like to be able to compare the value to a room only discount which is oftentimes a better value as you state in other posts. Do you think the room only discounts will also be released Monday? Any idea when they would be released? Or should we book with free dining then possibly change the reservation when room discounts are announced? Don’t want hotels to fill up! Thanks!
If I am going to make a tactical reservation at one of the resorts that I hope will qualify for Free dining, what do I have to do to qualify apart from that? Do I have to book with Disney Direct on their own website? Do I need to have park hopper tickets in place already on my reservation in My Disney Experience? Can I book through an agent, getting a discount maybe, and then modify the booking when the time comes?
Reservation can always be changed or modified. Don’t know if this is any help or not but we were all set up at Carribean last year waiting on free dining but for whatever reason when agent was up at 5:30 am which was the release time on free Dining we were not able to get it as there was not availability and ended up with free dining at the Boardwalk walk Villas . Could be wrong but I don’t think you have to add the park hopper tickets till promotion is released. Definitely required for free Dining though.Good Luck!
Ok, thanks for the help. One more question: which time zone was the 5:30am?
I don’t think I will rely on an agent who might have 100 clients to worry about. Just sort it out for myself.
Eastern time zone.
Is there any hope dates will be added for the week prior to andnincluding Thanksgiving? We are hoping to go from Nov 16-25. Thanks!
In previous years, the free dining promotion included wilderness lodge and contemporary. Right now it says they arent included but thats for the south american lead. Do you think both resorts will be included with the us promotion?
Hi! I have a trip booked for our family of 5 from 11/24-12/1 at Carribean Beach, standard room. I’m hoping to change my reservation online as soon as Free Dining is announced. I have a few questions-
If a standard room is not part of the promotion at Carribean Beach, will Free dining not show up when I try to add a promotion under the “Change Your Reservation” button? Or will it show that if I change to a preferred room (or whatever type is allotted for free dining), I could receive that promotion?
Also, should I add the Quick Service Dining Plan now in order for the Free Dining promotion to show when I click to add a promotion.
Since I booked this trip before ticket prices went up, I’m hoping to not have to make a new reservation. Thanks so much for your help!
We are booked into Saratoga Springs for 8 nights beginning Sep 29. The hotel, tickets, and Disney Dining Plan were booked and paid for through Costco’s travel department. If our dates match the free dining program, do I contact Disney or Costco to try securing the free dining?
Contact Disney directly
Tom I am booked at Beach Club August 15-22. What’s the likelihood that it will be an easy add on? Will there be rooms available if I get online super early to modify? Also I have the Disney visa. Will there be a separate link for that?
Hi Tom,
just wondering I have a reservation for 11/24 and I’m hoping to get free dining, my dates correspond and my resort is listed so when free dining is announced I’m hoping to take advantage but I don’t see a modify reservation but I do see “change reservation” forgive me if this is a stupid question but is that the same thing?
Yep same thing!
As long as the room type u already have booked is part of the free dining promotion !!!
Hi! Where can I see what resorts and rooms will be included in the free dining? Right now we are arriving on 11/24’and we are staying at Pop Century. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!
Pop Century is always included so you should not have any problems.
