How Can I Be Notified When the Free Disney Dining Offer Goes Live?
The best way to find out when the offer goes live is to reach out to an Authorized Disney Travel Agent, as they will know immediately and the available rooms go fast. Our personal recommendation is Academy Travel (link), and you can call them at (609) 978-0740.
Is Free Dining the Best Walt Disney World Deal?
There’s some debate as to whether or not Free Disney Dining is the best Walt Disney World package deal. It really depends on who you ask. Sometimes paying for the Disney Dining Plan out of pocket and taking a room discount is the better way to go.
Again, this is a good reason to book through an Authorized Disney Travel Agent as they will be able to find you the best possible value for your next Disney World vacation.
