The Disney Dining Plan lets you prepay for meals and snacks as part of a package, simplifying budgeting for your trip — here’s how it currently works.
By Vacation Intel
What Is the Disney Dining Plan?
The Disney Dining Plan is a prepaid meal package added to a Disney Resorts Collection package, giving each guest a set number of meal and snack credits based on the length of your stay. Credits can be used flexibly throughout the trip rather than one per day.
Which Plans Are Available?
The Quick-Service Disney Dining Plan and the standard Disney Dining Plan are currently available for booking. Both plans include alcoholic beverages for guests 21 and older as a substitute for a non-alcoholic drink.
Is the Dining Plan Free for Kids?
Disney has periodically offered a free kids dining plan promotion for children ages 3-9 when adults in the party purchase a matching dining plan — availability and terms vary by year, so it’s worth checking current offers when booking.
Is the Dining Plan Worth It?
Whether the dining plan saves money depends on how much you’d naturally spend on dining and how many table-service meals you plan to use — it tends to offer better value for guests who eat at higher-cost table-service restaurants regularly.
