Families planning to visit Walt Disney World in spring 2024 can save 50% on their children's theme park tickets and dining plan as part of a new offer announced this morning.

The Kids Play & Dine package goes on sale starting November 14, and is valid for stays most nights March 3 through June 30, 2024. The package offers half-off theme park tickets and dining plans for children ages 3 to 9 with the purchase of a 4-night, 4-day Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a resort hotel room, theme park tickets, and dining plan for the adults in the party.
Full details of the special offer may not be available until November 14 when the package goes on sale, but the fine print includes a note that everyone in the same room must be on the same dining package, and a child must stay in the room with an adult.
Earlier this year, Walt Disney World announced that dining plans would be offered for stays beginning January 9, 2024, and beyond. At the same time, the company announced that visitors with date-based tickets would no longer need to make theme park reservations.
Details of the Walt Disney World offer come on the same day that Disneyland announced a discounted ticket for children, and, like the Disneyland offer, the news was included in a Disney Parks Blog article, which detailed ways families can save on their next Disney vacation. While the two offers are targeted at completely different types of visitors—day trippers versus vacation planners—it's clear that the company is addressing a widely held perception that the parks are just too expensive for families to visit.
Official tips include staying at Disney’s All-Star Resorts, taking advantage of complimentary parking and transportation by staying at a Walt Disney World resort hotel, and keeping an eye out for special hotel and ticket offers. The blog also details a few quick-serve dining locations “that can help you stretch your vacation dollars.”
