In the UK Disney announced a new deal for 2026 trips where you can get the dining plan for free. It's broken down as following.
Value Resorts: 1 Quick Service Meal Day free (not the Dining Plan).
Moderate Resorts: Quick Service Dining Plan free.
Deluxe Resorts: Full Dining Plan free.
We're currently planning a trip for next year and trying to decide between a Value or Moderate resort. Is the extra cost of staying in a moderate resort worth it to get the quick service dining plan? What do people think?
From the pricing I've seen so far it's around £1000-£1500 more to stay in a Moderate resort.
We're a family of 4, we'd likely still have a couple of table service meals on top of quick service.
If we were going Moderate it would likely be Colorado Springs and if Value likely be All Star Movies. I know Moderate resorts have other perks as well, but we've stayed in All Stars previously and been perfectly happy there.
I agree with Craig - I think Value with 1 quick service then saving $1000 will give you money for any snacks and other food you want - I find we never really want a full meal during the days
