To get the most value out of this offer you need to book early, by 3rd July 2026, to get the extra money off your holiday. The early booking savings are:
Up to an extra £100 if you book a Value hotel
Up to an extra £200 when booking a Moderate resort
Up to an extra £300 if you book a Deluxe resort
Up to an extra £400 if you book select Deluxe Villas
And as an extra incentive to book sooner, Disney are offering free transfers from MCO to Disney Resorts for the first 2,500 people who book a Moderate or Deluxe hotel. Booking on 21st April is definitely being incentivised for UK holidaymakers who want the to make the most of this offer.
Plan your trip and decide hotels now, before the offer launches
Plan your trip now before the offer launches to make sure you get the hotel you want. This is an incredibly popular offer, and participating Moderate hotel rooms tend to sell out quickly as this offers some of the best value. 13 days is enough to choose where to stay on-site at Disney World and to work out the value of the dining plan against the price of the holiday. Remember that for Moderate level holidays the dining plan effectively gives you a full board stay with unlimited soft drinks, tea, and coffee at your hotel.
How is the 2027 UK free dining offer different to 2026?
The free dining plan offer is the same across the different resort tiers, offering the same free drinks and dining options. The differences are in the discount saving on bookings and in the accompanying Magic Ticket offer, which is not as generous as in 2026.
This years up to £400 discount if packages are booked by the 3rd July 2026, is £100 more than last year, when the discount was up to £300 if booked by 1st July 2025.
The other more notable difference is the UK exclusive Magic Ticket offer, currently there is no included offer for the Magic Ticket. Last year the offer was a 14 day ticket for the price of 7; this year for 2027 bookings there is no Magic Ticket offer. This means a price increase of around £30 per person depending on the season, but this is offset to an extent by the money off offer.
Is the offer worth booking?
If you are planning a Walt Disney World trip for 2027, this offer is definitely worth booking. It is usually the best offer for families and couples who want the peace of mind that everything is covered. It is also a great reason to spring for a Deluxe stay for a special occasion.
Magic in a minute
The UK free dining offer is confirmed to be returning for people looking to book 2027 trips. It opens on 21st April and will be available until 4th November, with extra savings of up to £400 available on bookings made before 3rd July 2026.
