Important information about Disney Free Dining
This offer is limited. I repeat: this offer is LIMITED, which means there are not a lot of rooms available that meet these requirements. It’s one of those double-edged swords that happens in life: you know it’s a good deal, but it can be challenging to GET that good deal.
Be patient with your travel agent or Disney booking agent as they navigate the system trying to find the best offer for you. It helps if you can be flexible in your travel plans in order to find the best deal for you!
Also, this Disney free dining promotion, as is the case with all Disney promotions, cannot be combined with any other discounts.
- Cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion.
- Additional per adult charges may apply if more than 2 adults per room at Disney Value, Moderate and Deluxe Resorts.
- Offer excludes the following room types: campsites, 3-bedroom villas and Little Mermaid Standard Rooms at Disney?s Art of Animation Resort.

- Children ages 3 to 9 must choose from the children?s menu, if available.
Disney Dining Tips
My number one tip for Disney dining: utilize the Quick Service mobile ordering system!
It’s amazing and such a huge timesaver- even right as the restaurant opens. We just walked into Columbia Harbor House as the doors opened, placed our order via the app, and had our food within 2 minutes!
It’s a serious life changer!
And be sure to check out one of our favorite meals on property with your Disney free dining: The Whispering Canyon Cafe has a wonderful breakfast for your buckaroos!
