Walt Disney World has updated its official 2027 vacation planning pages with a clearer look at what resort guests can expect next year, including returning hotel perks and a new three-tier dining plan lineup. Across Disney’s official vacation planning, dining, and guest benefits pages, the company now confirms that Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours will continue through 2027, while the free water park check-in benefit will return in summer 2027 for eligible Disney Resorts Collection hotel guests.
Disney also updated its official dining plans page to show a new 2027 setup. Instead of two plans, guests choosing a package in 2027 will see three options: Quick-Service Dining Plan, Table-Service Dining Plan, and Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan.
What Disney officially confirmed for 2027
Disney’s official pages now spell out several core benefits for 2027 resort stays. On the Early Theme Park Entry page, Walt Disney World says eligible hotel guests can still enter the parks 30 minutes early every day of their stay, including check-in and check-out days, and notes that the benefit will continue through 2027.
On the Extended Evening Hours page, Disney says that benefit will also continue through 2027 for guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. That perk applies on select nights in select theme parks and is separate from the 30-minute early entry benefit available more broadly to Disney Resort hotel guests.
The official resort benefits and vacation planning pages also confirm that the free water park check-in perk is coming back in summer 2027 for eligible Disney Resorts Collection hotel guests. Disney specifically says the offer will exclude the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and that more details and exact dates are still to come.
Disney dining plans are changing for 2027
The biggest planning change on Disney’s official 2027 pages is the dining plan update. The official Disney Dining Plans page now compares 2026 and 2027 side by side.
For 2026, Disney lists the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Disney Dining Plan. For 2027, Disney lists three options instead: Quick-Service Dining Plan, Table-Service Dining Plan, and Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan. That means the 2027 lineup is broader than the current 2026 setup, with a deluxe tier now listed as a bookable option for 2027 packages.
Disney also changed the family dining offer language for next year. On the same official page, Disney says families traveling in 2027 can save up to 20% on dining for kids ages 3 to 9 when they purchase a package that includes a dining plan for the family.
Why this matters for 2027 Disney World planning
The official updates give Disney World vacation planners a more concrete starting point for 2027 packages, even though a few details are still missing. Disney has now publicly confirmed that some of the most valuable on-site perks are staying in place next year, and the dining plan page makes the 2027 structure much easier to understand than it was under the previous naming.
The biggest open item is the water park benefit timing. Disney has only said it will return in summer 2027 and has not yet posted the exact eligible dates. Still, the official pages now make clear that resort guests heading into 2027 can expect early park access, late-night deluxe hotel hours on select nights, and a refreshed dining plan lineup with a returning deluxe tier.
