Disney Dining Plan Details

Available only with vacation packages that include accommodations at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel or with a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) reservation (including those booked using rented DVC points), the Disney Dining Plan is a convenient way to experience many of the unique Disney dining locations found across the Walt Disney World Resort.

For 2026, the additional cost on top of a regular Disney Resort Hotel package or DVC booking is $98.59 (tax included) per night per adult or junior (ages 10+) and FREE for children (ages 3-9).

For 2027, the additional cost on top of a regular Disney Resort Hotel package or DVC booking is $99.87 (tax included) per night per adult or junior (ages 10+) and $31.94 (tax included) for children (ages 3-9).

With the Disney Dining Plan you can enjoy the following (per person, per package night) from participating Walt Disney World Resort restaurants:

• One table service or buffet meal
  • Breakfast: includes entrée and beverage OR full buffet with beverage (tax included, gratuity not included)
  • Lunch and dinner: includes entrée, dessert and beverage OR full buffet with beverage (tax included, gratuity not included)

• One quick service meal: includes entrée or complete combo meal and beverage at breakfast, lunch or dinner (tax included)
• Beverage options included with all meals: beer, hard cider, most wines by the glass, and many cocktails, plus milkshakes, smoothies, gourmet hot chocolate, and standard non-alcoholic soft drinks, tea, coffee, punch, lemonade, juice, milk and most other similar-priced options (other beverages may be available at some locations; ask your server). Keep in mind that not all locations serve alcohol (especially at Magic Kingdom, where alcohol is only served at table-service restaurants).
• One snack from a wide variety of options

Plus:

• One Resort refillable drink mug per person, per package (eligible for refills at quick service locations only in your Disney Resort hotel)

For example, a guest with a length of stay of 3-nights/4-days who books a Disney Resort Hotel Vacation Package with the Dining Plan would receive three table-service meals, three quick-service meals, and three snacks per person, for their stay. These meals and snacks can be used at any time during your stay, in any order. For more details and advice for making use of the plan, see our Dining Plan Tips And Tricks page.

Everyone in the room must be booked on the same package and ticket options.

The price of the meal will be added to your bill. Guests ages 3-9 must order from a children’s menu where available (though ask about other options if there’s nothing the child likes on the children’s menu; see our Dining Plan tips for the kinds of substitutions that may be possible).
