Is there free food in Disney World?

Disney World ran a promotion at various times throughout the year — for several years in a row up through 2020 — offering guests a free Disney Dining Plan with paid Walt Disney World Vacation Packages. As noted above, the Disney Dining Plan is currently suspended, and “Free Dining” is therefore suspended as well.
