What You Need to Know About Disney Dining Plans

Planning where to eat at Disney can be overwhelming, especially with so many restaurants, snack spots, and now, the return of the Disney Dining Plan! Whether you want quick meals on the go or full table-service experiences with characters, the dining plan could be a great way to save time and money… if it fits your travel style.

What Is the Disney Dining Plan?

The Disney Dining Plan is a prepaid meal package. Depending on the plan, you'll get a specific number of meals and snacks per night of your stay, as well as refillable Resort mugs.

There are two different Dining Plan options to choose from:

• Quick-Service

  Think of this as Disney's version of fast casual dining. These meals usually come with one entree and a non-alcoholic beverage, though some alcoholic beverages may be included for those 21+ on the plan

• Disney Dining Plan

  This includes both quick-service meals as well as table-service meals, which are nicer sit-down restaurants and include Character Dining experiences

Many families love the convenience of knowing that their meals are already paid for, and the dining plan can be a good value if you enjoy character meals or signature dining. It's also helpful with budgeting.

It's not One-Size-Fits-All

The dining plan isn't ideal for everyone. Some guests save money without it, depending on how often they eat and where. That's where expert planning makes a difference.
