Chef Stefan Riemer speaks with FOX Business about connection with food to take theme park dining to the next level.
Walt Disney World is offering kids free dining all throughout next year with the purchase of an adult dining plan.
Children ages 3-9 staying at one of the Disney Resort hotels will be able to eat for free “when purchasing a dining plan as part of their package for the other members of their party (ages 10 and up),” according to a Disney Parks Blog post.
Usually, Disney’s special offers are not eligible to be combined with discounts, but Disney says that will not be the case next year.
“The kids’ free dining plan offering can be combined with other select special offers, meaning you may still be eligible to take advantage of other deals we later roll out for 2026,” Disney Parks Blog said.
