Visitors to the Florida theme park should read the fine print.
One of Disney’s DIS, +0.28% most popular vacation promotions aims to feed travelers’ hunger for savings, but is the deal all it’s cracked up to be?
The free dining promotion first came about in the wake of the financial crisis and has developed a massive following among Disney vacationers, said Don Munsil, co-owner of the vacation planning website MouseSavers.com. “People love free food,” Munsil said. “It triggers some primitive impulse inside us.”When Jennifer Mascitti, a stay-at-home mom from Atlanta, booked a trip to Disney World last September she opted against doing the free dining promotion as her family had done in the past.
The types of restaurants travelers can eat at with the free dining plan depend on which hotel they are staying at — guests at more expensive hotels have access to a souped-up version of the dining plan. So for a five-night, six-day stay at Disney’s All Star Music Resort, a family of four with two kids over the age of 10 would essentially need to spend upwards of $500 for their lodging and more than $2,000 for their theme park tickets to qualify for the free dining promotion.
For instance, Disney is also offering up to 25% off hotel stays at certain resorts from May 28 through August 28. Those savings could potentially outweigh the value of the free dining plan, depending on the room.
