Walt Disney World in Florida has a late-summer offer for families. Select a ticket-and-room package and get the dining plan for free.Deal: The magic number for the Magic Your Way package with free dining is four — two adults and two children.

The Free Disney Dining Plan with this offer includes one sit-down meal, one quick-service meal and one snack per day for four at more than 100 restaurants at Walt Disney World.To take advantage of this deal, you must reserve a room at one of the resort’s moderate-priced hotels that comes with Magic Your Way Base Tickets that admit each family member into one of four theme parks per day, including Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Prices for a five-night package start at $1,843, plus taxes and airfare. The minimum stay is three nights, and the maximum is 10.When:
The free-dining offer is good for stays Aug. 15 through Sept. 30. You can book this offer, based on availability, through 8:59 p.m. PDT Aug. 14.Tested: To find the deal, go to the Walt Disney World home page, navigate to “tickets and packages” on the toolbar and click on “special offers.”I found the package from Aug. 23 to Aug. 28 at a slightly lower rate than advertised for this deal— $1,803, pretax — for a room with two double beds at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort for two adults and two children. The package priced out to about $90 per person per day, plus taxes. By comparison, single-day Magic Your Way Base Tickets alone would normally cost $79 each plus tax for ages 10 and older and $68 plus tax for younger kids.
So with the package, which of course also includes the room and free food, you definitely save money.Booking details: If you don’t want to reserve online, call and ask for booking code TF5. If you’re online, I found it helpful to use the “chat now” feature that allowed me to ask questions electronically and get instant replies.
