The Disney Dining Plan - Everything You Need to Know

Finally! The Disney Dining Plans are back!

The Dining Plan offers the convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for my meals and snacks. You are able to choose from two popular options: either the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan. Both plans are a great value for families who love to dine at Disney, especially with children.

Space 220 Restaurant

Below is a list of the table service restaurants on Disney Property where you can use your Dining Plan credits. You can use it at restaurants located in the Disney theme parks, Disney Springs, and at the Resorts. The table service, or "sit down", restaurants either use 1 or 2 credits per person. A restaurant that requires 2 table service credits per person are called Signature Dining. These are fine dining or hard to get reservations.

When you include the Dining Plan in your vacation package, everyone in the room must have the same type of theme park ticket option and dining plan. For a child under the age of 3 — they may share from an adult plate at no charge. Guests ages 3-9 must order from a children’s menu where available.

Let your Kingdom Konsultant agent know if you'd like to include the Dining Plan when you get a complimentary Disney quote or have any questions regarding how it works. We here at Kingdom Konsultant Travel help our clients book dining reservations when their booking windows open at 6:00 a.m. on the 60 day mark, too, if the thought of it makes you nervous. We're here to help you navigate your Disney vacation planning.

How to Use Your Dining Plan

Show one of the following to your server at table service locations or cashier at quick service locations to use your credits. Be sure to have the PIN number set up on your profile to use the credits or charge overages to.

You can redeem your meals and snacks in any order during your stay, until the number of meals and snacks associated with your package has been depleted. All unused meals and snacks and the ability to use your Resort-refillable mug expire at midnight on your checkout date.

What Will Change in 2024?

If you were familiar with the Dining Plans from pre-2020, there are a few changes, in addition to the price.

Also, the Disney Dining Plan includes one snack credit per night, instead of two.
