Grab your Mickey ears and MagicBands because we’re ready to plan a Disney World trip. Okay, so maybe there are a few other steps you need to consider before you start packing your Loungeflys, but we’re expecting pretty big news soon that might influence you to book that trip.
Heads up if you’re making dining reservations!
If you love free food at Disney World (which should be everyone!), then you’re really going to love what we’re about to say.
Disney World is currently offering a free Disney Dining Plan for Disney Visa Cardmembers through March 11th, and after this date, Disney generally opens it up to everyone. Yep, that means everyone will have the opportunity to add on the Disney Dining Plan for free.
Cosmic Ray’s
For the Visa Card offer, you needed to book a non-discounted 4-night, 4-day (or longer) Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a room at a select Disney Resorts Collection hotel and a theme park ticket with a Park Hopper option. The deal is valid on select nights from:
Ale & Compass spread
For the Standard Dining Plan, you can book at these resorts:
Cinderella’s Royal Table
For the Quick-Service Dining Plan, you can book at the following hotels:
Backlot Express
Usually, the Visa Card offer is an early access window to secure the free dining plan, but we’re expecting it to be open to everyone starting on March 12th. We’ll keep an eye out to make sure.
