I know a lot of people do like utilizing the dining plan and I couldn’t find a post already. Disney is offering a free dining plan with the purchase of non discounted four night, four day package. Available on select dates from June 29- December 22.
 
I just saw this! Usually we find the resort discount for the same time frame to be a better deal, but it isn't looking that way- unless my math is wrong ( which it very well could be!)
 
So bummed. I tried to get this offer for my trip 10/28-11/4, but it was unavailable for the hotel I am staying at. (All Star Music) In order for me to be eligible, I had to upgrade for another 800 dollars, so I passed. Sucks for those of us who can't afford to go to WDW every year and have to save up to go once every 3-5 years and get priced out of the free dining plan.

In my case, my reservation was to All Star Sports, with 15% off, for 10 days (2 adults + 2 kids) + 6 days tickets, total amount USD 3,867.00.
I just tried to change to Free Dinning offer, and for All Star Sports, no more avaliable. So, I had to change to All Star Music. USD 4,685.00.

For me, it´s better to paymore USD 800 and get the DDP free, because USD 800, for 10 nights, 4 persons, 2 meals per day = USD 10,00 per meal and we also have the snacks and the hotel mugs.
 
I was excited for this as it is the one discount I was able to get plus we were on the fence of getting the DDP vs. the Quickservice one. We are staying at the cabins and that was the regular one. It just makes our vacation a little less stressful with who all is coming.
 
Unfortunately we aren’t staying in one resort for four nights, so don’t qualify. I’m hoping they shorten the stay requirement. We are there for seven nights but doing a split stay.
 
I was hoping for free dining, however, it would cost us more money that just paying out of pocket. We don't want the park hopper just to get free dining. So, we will pay out of pocket for our meals.
We like to get it sometimes on our splits stays. Then we plan our more expensive meals for the first part of out trip, get the mugs ( which irks me to spend $100 on), and stretch a meal or two onto the first day of our second resort stay. Also, we typically get park hopper plus tickets because we like mini golf and the water park. But now, with a free water park day, we are still crunching the numbers to see if it's worth it to buy. The discount on a three night stay isn't much more than 10%!
 
I wonder if they will bring it back to try and lure people with Universals new park opening. I do know they are already offering free dining plans for kids 3-9 for 2026. It is always a possibility they bring it back later this year.

Anything is possible , I would expect another deal coming might just not be free dining
