Free Dining UK 2026

[jf256]

I'd of thought that some inkling of an announcement would be out by now.

Wonder whether they are making some adjustments due to the current US climate...

I remember looking at the DDP last year and the cost to buy from the UK was substantially higher than the US due to the exchange rate being really high in Jan and then reducing throughout the year.

I'm not overly concerned as I'm looking at either off site (good neighbour) or renting DVC - or even room only using a US VPN. With only 2 people who don't drink it is not that great a deal for us normally. But you never know. The gift card was my absolute favourite because you could use it for the full 2 weeks if you wanted to - and in so many more places than the DDP.

The gift card and dining credits were only whilst the DDP was suspended, not sure we'll see that offer again.

Oh I know that..

It's just normally but 2nd week of April we have some news about what's coming

The dibb board has a cast member indicating that training will probably be on the 15th April, announcement around the 19th and booking from the 29th.

Free dining was announced yesterday. Same as last year.

1 QS credit for Value
QSDP for moderate
1 DDP for deluxe.

No gift card but £200 off early booking and £300 off flight inclusive.

Must be 5 nights or more and blackout dates apply.

You can book from 29th April

Attraction tickets are doing 10 percent off plus a pre register by 27th April gives an undisclosed additional discount. So if you are planning this worth pre registering.

2 non drinkers in a room. I'm going to likely book a moderate and then see what deals the USA/ UK get for room only closer to the time.

People were hoping for more due to economic uncertainty and Epic opening. But my theory is that disney are banking on Epic being a must do for people who will want to split their time with disney.

No gift card but £200 off early booking and £300 off flight inclusive.

There wasn't a gift card with last year's dining offer for 2025 holidays, but £200 off the booking was, same as this year. The gift card was only during the suspension of the DDP across WDW as far as I can remember. We preferred the dining credit and gift card, it worked better for us, but have QS dining plan with our moderate resort this August, so will just make the most of it.

Do we know what time the offer normally drops?

Surprised it's so quiet in here, but this went live today around 7am (and I snagged it then - hope you all did too!)

We booked yesterday as that’s when the offers opened for UK visitors (29 April). After a few technical issues we finally made our booking. Pleased to say we managed to book a room at the resort we wanted, view we wanted and almost the right date we needed. Saved a fair bit too.

I am in limbo. Hoping to do the Wine and Dine 10k next year, but run Disney haven't released the date of the race, it could be several different weekend options, so will have to be patient. 106 days until I go this year with the free QS dining plan at POR
