While I don’t have a solution for out-of-pocket spending on Souvenirs (yet!), there is an option that can help curb the cost of all those succulent snacks. Or at least make it sting a little less. And what’s better than a pre-paid dining plan at

Kid’s plan typically run about 30% less, but the exact cost isn’t important here because you’re going to get it for free.
Quick Service Dining Plan
With the Quick Service Dining Plan each person in your party will receive:
- (2) Counter Service meals per night
- (1) Snack per night
- (1) Refillable Drink Mug per stay (it’s good your entire stay)
But you don’t have to use them all in that order. If your family of 4 is staying for 4 nights, you’ll have a grand total of (32) quick service meal credits and (16) snack credits. These credits can be used at any time – splitting breakfast because your group starts the day light, cool. Want to use all your snack credits tasting around an Epcot Festival? Awesome! (and highly recommend)

Standard Dining Plan
Now if you were to upgrade to the Standard Dining Plan each member of your group would receive:
Don't Miss! Best Quick Service at Epcot
- (1) Counter Service meal per night
- (1) Table Service meal per night
- (1) Snack per night
- (1) Refillable Mug per stay

Not only do you unlock table service dining including some of the most iconic restaurants in the parks, but you can stack credits for special experiences. The especially expensive restaurants with fine dining, character meets, and dinner shows actually cost 2 Table Service credits per person.

What’s the Catch?
The Free Dining promotion is one of our favorites for booking a trip, especially for families traveling all together. But, it can’t be combined with any other offers and is running concurrently with several big room discounts. You’ll want to price out both options, and any others you’re eligible for, before booking.

Folks staying off property, booking through a third party (including a DVC rental), or not purchasing tickets (sorry AP’s) will not be able to steal this deal. Again, sometimes these alternatives can be cheaper so double check. It’s actually a great case to make for using a travel agent when booking your trip, because they’ll know the ins and outs and how to get you the best deals.
Which Dining Plans Are Included?
You ask the best questions! With the Free Dining Promotion the type of dining plan (quick service or standard) depends on which hotel you’ve booked. The Standard Plan is offered for stays at any of the Deluxe or Deluxe Villa resorts. While the Quick Service plan is offered at Moderate and Value resorts.
So there you have it, free dining at
