If you’ve been waiting as impatiently as we have for 2026 Walt Disney World vacation bookings, then today is your lucky day! Disney Destinations just announced that 2026 vacations are open for booking TOMORROW, April 22! Not only do we have bookings open for 2026, but we also have an offer for FREE dining for kids!
How do we get free kids dining?
In 2026, kids in your travel party aged 3-9 will receive a free dining plan when you purchase the dining plan for the rest of your party ages 10 and up! This is especially great, as this offer can be combined with other offers that will be released in 2026!
Why should we stay in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel?
The perks of staying onsite in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel are fantastic in 2026. Some of the perks include:
- 30 minutes of early theme park entry at every park every day of your visit
- Extended evening hours on select nights at select parks for guests of Deluxe and Deluxe Villa resorts
- Complimentary theme park transportation via monorail, bus, boat, and Disney Skyliner
- Free standard parking at hotels, theme parks, and water parks
- Early access to dining reservations and Lightning Lane selections for your entire stay
- Early access to purchase tickets to special events
- Returning in Summer 2026, free water park entry on your check-in day
When should we book our 2026 Disney vacation?
Booking as soon as possible ensures you get the ground floor pricing on your Walt Disney World vacation! By contacting your Kingdom and Cruise Travel Advisor as soon as possible, you’ll have access to the best availability of 2026 travel dates, and your advisor will continuously monitor for applicable promotions as the rest of 2025 and 2026 go by. Your advisor will be working in the background, making sure you are getting the best value for your vacation! Whether that means saving money, or being able to upgrade your stay to a hotel that may have seemed out of reach prior to the promotions that will be coming out, your advisor will always look out for your best interest.
