Disney reveals the COST of the Dining Plan

We now have pricing for the Disney Dining Plan. Take a look and let us know what you think: too high or a great deal?

Disney Dining Plan

Save time and money on your Disney World vacation by purchasing a Disney Dining Plan. Enjoy a certain number of prepaid meals and snacks during your stay to make your vacation feel more “all-inclusive”. Spend more time enjoying your vacation and less time on meal budgeting while you’re here.

It’s been a long two years without the dining plan, and Guests are ready for its return! The Dining Plans were temporarily paused with the reopening of the parks, likely due to the lack of character dining and number of restaurants open in general. It can be a bit tricky figuring out how to budget for food without the Dining Plan (although it is possible and we share how to do it in this post).

Beginning May 31, 2023, you can add a dining plan to Walt Disney Travel Company packages that include a Disney Resort hotel stay with arrivals on or after January 9, 2024.  If you already have a room, you can modify your reservation to upgrade to a package that includes a dining plan. Just be aware your arrival date must occur on/after January 9!

The Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan entitles Guests to meals at counter service locations and snacks. Everyone in the travel party (ages 3 and up) will receive 2 Quick-Service meals per night and 1 snack/nonalcoholic drink per night of their package stay. Each Guest will also receive 1 Resort-refillable drink mug.
