How does the Disney Dining Plan work?

  1. Your meals and snacks are loaded onto your MagicBand, Disney MagicMobile pass or Key to the World card.
  2. When you order, touch it to the magic point.
  3. Your server gives you a receipt showing your remaining meal balance.

Meals and snacks aren't tied to a particular day. Eat light one day and splurge the next – unused credits roll over and expire at midnight on your checkout date.

Why add a Dining Plan?

  • Make dining reservations up to 60 days before you travel using the My Disney Experience app.
  • Budget for food before you leave the UK and avoid surprise costs on holiday.
  • No need to carry cash around the parks.
  • Huge variety, from Character Dining and fine dining to quick snacks.
  • Over 200 dining locations across the Disney Resort hotels, theme parks and Disney Springs.
  • Choose an alcoholic drink with each meal (ages 21+).

Which Dining Plan suits your Disney Resort?

Any plan can be added at any Disney Resort hotel, but here's how our specialists usually match them.

Disney Value Resorts – Quick-Service Dining Plan

Value Resorts are the most affordable way to stay on-site, with bold Disney theming and free transport to the parks. Dining is mostly food-court style, so the Quick-Service Dining Plan is a natural fit. Families planning one or two Character meals may prefer the Table-Service plan.

  • Disney's All-Star Movies Resort
  • Disney's All-Star Music Resort
  • Disney's All-Star Sports Resort
  • Disney's Pop Century Resort
  • Disney's Art of Animation Resort

Disney Moderate Resorts – Quick-Service or Table-Service Dining Plan

Moderate Resorts offer larger rooms, themed pools and more dining choice, including sit-down restaurants on-site. The Quick-Service plan suits busy park days; the Table-Service plan opens up resort favourites like Sebastian's Bistro and Toledo.

  • Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
  • Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside
  • Disney's Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter
  • Disney's Coronado Springs Resort

Disney Deluxe Resorts & Villas – Table-Service or Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan

Deluxe Resorts put you within walking, monorail or boat distance of the parks, with some of Walt Disney World's best restaurants on the doorstep. The Table-Service plan is the popular choice; the Deluxe Table-Service plan suits guests who want Character Dining and Signature restaurants every day.

Includes Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club, Yacht Club, BoardWalk Inn, Contemporary, Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Polynesian Village, Wilderness Lodge and Riviera Resort, plus the Deluxe Villas and The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort.

Quick-Service Dining at Walt Disney World

Quick-Service dining is the most convenient and flexible option, and the Quick-Service Dining Plan can be used at 100+ locations. You order at a counter or via mobile order and collect your food, so no reservations are needed and meals take less time – ideal for maximising time in the parks. Across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom there are often more than ten Quick-Service outlets per park, from burgers, sandwiches and salads to barbecue, Mexican dishes and international street food.

Popular examples include ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios and Flame Tree Barbecue in Animal Kingdom, while EPCOT's World Showcase is known for its global variety. Quick-Service venues are also found in every Disney Resort hotel and at Disney Springs, such as Centertown Market at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort and Everything POP at Disney's Pop Century Resort.

Table-Service Dining at Walt Disney World

Table-Service dining is a relaxed, sit-down experience with waiter service, and the Table-Service and Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plans can be used at 180+ locations. Most Table-Service restaurants need an advance reservation and range from casual family dining to fine dining. You'll find them in every theme park, most Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs.

In the parks, Table-Service restaurants are part of the story. Magic Kingdom has Be Our Guest Restaurant, EPCOT offers world cuisine at Le Cellier in Canada and Teppan Edo in Japan, Hollywood Studios has the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, and Animal Kingdom serves global flavours at Tiffins.

Popular resort options include Jiko – The Cooking Place at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge and Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Deluxe Resorts are home to Signature restaurants such as California Grill and Topolino's Terrace, which use two Table-Service credits – a great use of the Deluxe Table-Service plan.

Disney Springs is another favourite for evening meals, with no park ticket needed and free parking. Choose from food trucks and bakeries or Table-Service restaurants such as Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and Morimoto Asia.

Quick-Service restaurants prioritise speed and convenience for busy park days, while Table-Service restaurants are all about the experience. Choose the plan that matches how your family likes to eat.

Overall, dining at Walt Disney World is designed to be highly flexible. Quick-Service restaurants prioritise speed and convenience, making them ideal for busy park days, while Table-Service locations focus on service and dining experience. Together, these options ensure that guests can tailor their dining requirements to match their schedule, budget, and preferences, whether they are grabbing a quick meal between attractions or enjoying a leisurely, themed dinner.

Best Disney Restaurants to Get Value from Your Dining Plan

The best way to get value from a Disney Dining Plan is to use your credits where the menu price would be highest. Character Dining, popular Table-Service restaurants and premium Quick-Service locations all stretch your plan further.

Best Table-Service Restaurants in the Disney Parks

Table-service meals often provide the greatest value, particularly when character dining or premium dining experiences are included.

  1. Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom - Step inside Beast's enchanted castle and dine in beautifully themed surroundings inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Why it's great value: High menu prices, iconic theming and one of the most sought-after reservations in Disney.
  2. Cinderella's Royal Table at Magic Kingdom - Dine inside Cinderella Castle while meeting Disney Princesses. Why it's great value: Character dining, premium location and unforgettable family experience.

  5. Hollywood & Vine at Disney's Hollywood Studios - Popular seasonal character dining featuring Disney Junior favourites and Minnie Mouse-themed dining events throughout the year. Why it's great value: Character dining and buffet-style meals make excellent use of dining credits.

Best Quick-Service Restaurants at Walt Disney World

Quick-service credits can offer fantastic value when used at locations known for larger portions, premium ingredients and unique menu choices.

  1. Satu'li Canteen at Disney's Animal Kingdom - Often regarded as Disney's best quick-service restaurant, Satu'li Canteen offers fresh, customisable bowls and generous portions inside Pandora – The World of Avatar. Best choice: Combination bowls with premium proteins.
  2. Columbia Harbour House at Magic Kingdom - A guest favourite serving seafood, chicken and sandwiches in a peaceful setting away from the busiest areas of the park. Best choice: Lobster roll and seafood platters when available.

  5. Flame Tree Barbecue at Disney's Animal Kingdom - Known for generous portions and excellent barbecue dishes, this remains one of Disney's best-value quick-service locations. Best choice: Ribs, pulled pork and combination platters.

Best Disney Resort Restaurants for Dining Plan Value

Many guests focus solely on park dining, but some of Walt Disney World's best restaurants are actually located at the Disney Resort hotels. These can be excellent places to maximise your dining credits while enjoying a more relaxed atmosphere.

Disney Value Resorts

  • Landscape of Flavours at Disney's Art of Animation Resort - One of the best quick-service restaurants at any Disney Resort, offering a surprisingly varied menu with generous portions.
  • Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney's Pop Century Resort- A popular quick-service location serving breakfast, burgers, pizzas and family favourites throughout the day.

Disney Moderate Resorts

  • Sebastian's Bistro at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort - A hidden gem offering Caribbean-inspired family-style dining and exceptional value for table-service credits.
  • Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort- Known for excellent food, waterfront views and a menu that consistently receives positive reviews from Disney guests.
  • Boatwright's Dining Hall at Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside- Southern-inspired comfort food in a relaxed setting, making it a great alternative to busier park restaurants.

Disney Deluxe Resorts

  • 'Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - One of the most popular dining experiences at Walt Disney World, featuring family-style dining and views of Seven Seas Lagoon.
  • Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort - A classic Disney character dining experience featuring Mickey Mouse and friends.

Expert Top Tip: Plan your dining strategically

On a Table-Service or Deluxe plan, prioritise Character Dining, Signature restaurants and hard-to-get reservations – they carry the highest menu prices. Book them as soon as your 60-day window opens. For Quick-Service credits, choose larger, premium meals rather than items you could buy cheaply. And save spare snack credits for treats to take home on your last day.

Which Disney Resort Should You Choose?

The best Disney Resort for your holiday depends on your budget, travel style and dining preferences. Value Resorts offer excellent affordability, Moderate Resorts provide additional comfort and amenities, while Deluxe Resorts deliver the ultimate Walt Disney World experience.

Which Disney Resorts Get Free Dining

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It?

Whether the Disney Dining Plan is worth it depends on how you like to holiday. For some guests, it can offer excellent value and help budget for meals in advance. For others, paying as you go may work out cheaper. The key is understanding how often you'll dine at Disney restaurants, whether you plan to enjoy character dining experiences, and how much flexibility you want during your stay. For many families visiting Walt Disney World, the Disney Dining Plan offers convenience, peace of mind and the opportunity to enjoy more dining experiences without worrying about the cost of every meal during their holiday.

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It for Families?

For families, the Disney Dining Plan is often one of the best ways to budget for a Walt Disney World holiday. With meals, snacks and drinks included in advance, parents can avoid unexpected food costs while enjoying a wide variety of restaurants across the parks and resorts. Families with children who enjoy character dining experiences such as Chef Mickey's, Tusker House or Cinderella's Royal Table can often get particularly good value from their dining credits. Having meals prepaid can also make it easier to relax and enjoy your holiday without constantly tracking spending.

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It for Couples?

Couples who enjoy sit-down meals, signature dining experiences and sampling different Disney restaurants can often get excellent value from the Disney Dining Plan. It allows you to enjoy a variety of dining experiences throughout your holiday while spreading the cost before you travel. However, couples who prefer lighter meals, share dishes or spend significant time dining outside Walt Disney World may find paying as they go offers more flexibility.

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It for Character Dining Fans?

If meeting Disney characters is a priority, the Disney Dining Plan can represent excellent value. Character dining experiences are often among the most popular and expensive meals at Walt Disney World, making them a great use of dining credits. Popular options include Chef Mickey's, Topolino's Terrace, Garden Grill Restaurant and Tusker House Restaurant. These experiences combine dining with memorable character interactions, making them particularly appealing for families with younger children.

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It If You Drink Alcohol?

Guests aged 21 and over can choose an alcoholic beverage with eligible meals, which can significantly increase the value of the dining plan. Beer, wine and selected cocktails are included at participating restaurants, helping some adults get even more value from their dining credits. If you regularly enjoy a drink with lunch or dinner, the savings can quickly add up over the course of your holiday.

Is Disney Dining Plan Worth It for Budget-Conscious Travellers?

One of the biggest benefits of the Disney Dining Plan is knowing much of your food budget before you arrive. This can help families avoid unexpected holiday spending and make budgeting much easier. That said, guests who prefer quick snacks, skip meals, share dishes or regularly eat off-site may find that paying as they go works out cheaper. To get the best value, you'll generally want to make full use of your allocated meals, snacks and drinks.

What is included in the Disney Dining Plan

The Disney Dining Plan typically includes a set number of quick-service and table-service meals per day, snacks, drinks and a refillable resort mug per stay, depending on the plan selected

Is the Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan worth it?

The Deluxe plan adds a second Table-Service meal each day for £48 more per adult per night than the Table-Service plan. It's best value for guests who want Character Dining or Signature restaurants daily. If you'd rather have one sit-down meal a day, the Table-Service plan is better value.

Can Disney Dining credits be used anywhere?

Dining credits can be used at participating quick-service and table-service restaurants across Walt Disney World Resort hotels, theme parks and Disney Springs

How much is the Disney Dining Plan for UK guests in 2027?

For 2027 arrivals, the Quick-Service Dining Plan is £47.99 per adult and £19.99 per child (3–9) per night. The Table-Service Dining Plan is £76.99 per adult and £24.99 per child, and the Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan is £124.99 per adult and £35.99 per child.
