Parents, when your kid says they want to go to Epic Universe, remind them that their daily Disney snack credit was "free".

Isn't the dining plan originally cheap for kids? It's the adults who have a higher cost.

↩ replying to Batman'sParentsYes. The last time I priced it the kids plan was an okay deal, especially if you did some character meals. The adult price was hard to stomach though. Maybe 2 adults and 2 kids free would be a decent value, especially if you can now combine it with other offers.

↩ replying to Batman'sParentsAlmost like it's a scam promotion geared to fool low-information guests into paying rack rate and buying a dining plan for anyone over age 9 in the traveling party at full cost?

↩ replying to monothingieDon't forget the inevitable requirement of purchasing length-of-stay park hoppers for everyone in the room, as well.

↩ replying to easyrowrdwCan't combine with WDW, so it's one offer or the other.

Instead of lowering prices, Disney, along with many other large corporations, have decided to offer discounts instead. This way, they can entice sagging tourist demand without lowering their top line revenue. (Theme park admission prices, resort room rates, food and merchandise prices, etc) it’s like a landlord of a strip mall agreeing to give you a free months rent instead of lowering the price per square foot. It’s more advantageous for the landlord to keep the price per square foot stable, and giveaway monetary concessions instead. Square footage is a top line number which can be used for loans, valuation of the property, shareholders. Concessions get buried in the pages of financial reports. I think we’ll see Disney giveaway much more in the future, before we would ever see price decreases.

↩ replying to Batman'sParentsHistorically, yes. But the article posted says otherwise for this deal. “Can be combined with select other special offers during 2026.”

I think we are going to continue to see more EPIC deals like this coming for WDW in 2025, 2026, 2027 😉😉

Any word if this include DVC and AP? I can't seem to find anything that confirms it one way or the other

Do you still need a ticket package to have this offer? Seeing conflicting things

↩ replying to stu1901No.
To take advantage of the kids eat free promotion, The only requirement is a confirmed resort reservation or confirmed DVC reservation.
If you are taking advantage of a Free Dining promotion,(which is different from the kids eat free promotion, and they do not overlap) you will need to have a non discounted resort reservation and non discounted tickets for the entire length of your stay.
Disney is essentially charging $0 for kids age 3-9 who are part of a reservation with a dining plan for 2026.
