Disney has announced a new Free Dining Plan offer for Disney Visa Cardmembers. Free Dining Plan offers are exactly what they sound like — a complimentary Disney Dining Plan comes included with your Walt Disney World vacation, as long as you meet certain criteria.
While a free Disney Dining Plan can help to bring the total cost of your vacation down, there’s always important numbers crunching you’ll need to do to understand the full scope of the savings. In addition, the window to book this latest Disney Visa Free Dining Plan offer is very short, so you have to act fast if you want to take advantage. Keep reading to learn more.
Disney Visa Free Dining Plan Booking Window
The name of the game with the latest Disney Visa Free Dining Plan offer is speed. That’s because you only have until March 26, 2025 to book a qualifying Walt Disney World vacation package. That’s seven days from the date this article goes live.
If you were already considering booking a Walt Disney World vacation for 2025, this could be a great incentive to pull the proverbial trigger over the next week. If you’re still not sure, I’ve outlined below the exact criteria you need to qualify for this latest Disney Visa Free Dining Plan offer.

Disney Visa Free Dining Plan Criteria
Disney World is not offering the latest Disney Visa Free Dining Plan offer to any guest — like all other Free Dining Plan offers, you have to meet certain criteria. First, as the name implies, this Dining Plan offer is restricted to Disney Visa cardholders.
VALID TRAVEL DATES
The other criteria is similar to other Free Dining Plan offers Disney has had in the past. Here’s Disney’s verbiage to see if your vacation qualifies:
Get a FREE dining plan when you purchase a nondiscounted 4-night, 4-day Walt Disney World vacation package that includes a room at a select Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option—for arrivals most nights from:
- June 29 to September 30, 2025
- October 20 to November 1, 2025
- December 6 to December 22, 2025
Packages may be available for longer lengths of stay.
So, Disney is offering a pretty wide window of time for qualifying vacations…nearly the entire second half of 2025!
If you’re a Disney Dining Plan pro, then you probably know that Disney World currently offers two tiers of dining plan: the Disney Dining Plan (the standard version that includes table service meals) and the Quick Service Dining Plan. Your eligibility for either dining plan tier to come at no extra cost depends on which Walt Disney World Resort hotel you book.
