Eating in Disney with the Disney's Dining Plan

While planning your Disney vacation, why not plan all of your meals ahead of time by adding the Disney Dining Plan to your reservation? There are multiple options that will suit every need and you’ll save up to 30 percent on your meals while you’re there.

The basic Dining Plan, Magic Your Way plus Quick-Service Dining include 2 quick service meals and 2 snacks for each night of your stay. However, you can upgrade from the basic Dining Plan to include table service meals, refillable mugs and more.

The only things not included the dining plan cost is tips at table service meals and alcoholic drinks.

We found we saved a lot of money by purchasing all of our meals ahead of time, and then we didn’t have to think about the cost of food while we were in the parks. Most days, for a combo meal at a quick service location in the parks, and dessert (all of which are included in the quick service meal) for two people typically cost around $35.

For dinner, at many of the buffets at the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels is between $25 and $35 per adult.

Paying ahead of time for all of our meals through the Disney Dining Plan we saved quite a bit of money, and because of it we highly recommend the Dining Plan to anyone heading to Walt Disney World.
