The Disney Dining Promo Card: Why You Might Not Get What You Think
The new Disney Dining Promo Card isn't as clear cut as it may sound (it's only $750 for a select few). Full details on the Disney Dining Card and how it works plus top picks from the EPCOT Festival of the Arts 2023 Foodie Guide.
Disney's Updated Offer of Free Dining is a Twist on the Old Way, but there's a Catch
You can now get up to a $750 Disney Dining Promo Card when you book a non-discounted 5-night, 4-day vacation package that includes a room at a select Disney Deluxe Resort or Disney Deluxe Villa Resort and theme park ticket(s).
The offer is valid for arrivals most nights July 1 to July 10, 2023 and August 1 to September 14, 2023. A lower-value Disney Dining Promo Card may also be available when you purchase this package during other select summer arrival dates.
After checking in you'll get an email with the amount credited to you via Disney Gift Card. Only good at participating food and beverage locations. You then present the barcode when you're paying and it will be deducted from the credit. You can see remaining balance as well.
It's not a blanket $750 dining card. These are the values for July 1 - 10 and August 1 - September 14, 2023:
- Up to $150 per night at Deluxe Villas and Resorts
- Up to $100 per night on select Moderate Resorts
- Up to $50 per night on select Value Resorts
From June 25 - 30 and July 11 - 31 the values are as follows:
- Up to $125 per night at Deluxe Villas and Resorts
- Up to $75 per night on select Moderate Resorts
- Up to $35 per night on select Value Resorts
