Disappointing Changes for the Disney Dining Plan
There are several dining locations that are no longer listed as accepting the Disney Dining Plan. Is the Disney Dining Plan still valuable?
Disney Dining Plans
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".
There are 2 Disney Dining Plan options. The Quick-Service Dining Plan is the most basic, with no table service, 2 quick-service meals (per day), 1 snack or non-alcoholic drink (per day), and a resort refillable mug.
With the second being the Table Service Dining Plan with 1 table service meal (per day), 1 quick-service meal (per day), 1 snack or non-alcoholic drink (per day), and a resort refillable mug. Disney has hinted at a 3rd option, but this does not appear available for the start of 2026.

Disney Dining Plan Changes
Earlier, we shared that four restaurants at Disney World have changed when you can redeem your Disney Dining Plan credits. In a positive shift, Liberty Tree Tavern (Magic Kingdom) will now accept the Disney Dining Plan for both lunch and dinner.
If you're using the Disney Dining Plan, make sure the locations and times of your reservations accept your dining credits.
For 2026, six new dining locations will accept the Disney Dining Plan:

- Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe
