Tips to Make the Most of Your Dining Plan
Our dining plans – the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan – are a great option for families. Each plan includes a certain number of meals and snacks based on the number of nights of your stay, and there are over 200 dining locations to choose from across all of Disney World!
For example, if your family is eager to head to the parks early, you can grab a quick breakfast at your Disney Resort hotel. For lunch, quick bites can be found at locations around all four parks like PizzeRizzo at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a personal pizza or Regal Eagle Smokehouse at EPCOT for a beef brisket sandwich. And for those with the Disney Dining Plan, you may end your day at a table-service restaurant like the all-you-care-to-enjoy Polynesian-inspired dinner at ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort (with special options kids will love, too) … and don’t forget to save room for the legendary ‘Ohana bread pudding. These are just a few of the many ways you can use your dining plans. Please note that reservations are subject to availability. And yes, you can use those snack credits on DOLE Whip or a Mickey ice cream bar.
Bonus Tip: On DisneyWorld.com and the My Disney Experience app, you can also easily view all available reservations for your selected date, and reservations are sorted by morning, afternoon and evening, so you can tell which menu will be served.
More 2024 Deals
There are even more offers available for those looking to book their Walt Disney World vacation. You can save up to 35% at select Disney Resort hotels when you stay 5 nights or longer most nights March 25 through Oct. 3, 2024. Visit DisneyWorld.com/SpecialOffers on Jan. 3, 2024 to learn more.**
Disney Resort Benefits
As a Disney Resort hotel guest, you can receive great benefits, including complimentary transportation and early theme park entry every day.*** And with your Disney Resort hotel reservation, you’ll be able to make dining reservations for your entire length of stay (for up to a 10-night stay) up to 60 days in advance of your arrival! This helps simplify your vacation planning, since you can make all your reservations on the same day, rather than checking availability day after day.
At select Disney Resort hotels, you can also catch an outdoor Movie Under the Stars or take part in fun recreational activities. You may even get a surprise visit from a Disney character or two!
While you count down the days to your visit, be sure to catch up on the latest additions to Disney+. One of my favorites is the new season of “Behind the Attraction.” It even includes an entire episode devoted to Disney food and the talented cast members who bring it to life.
