How Do Dining Plans Work?

  1. Your meals and snacks are loaded onto your Disney band or card.
  2. Touch your Disney band or card to the magic point when making a purchase.
  3. Your server will give you a receipt showing your updated meal balance.

Want to eat light one day and splurge the next? Not a problem! Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day to day and expire at midnight on the reservation checkout date.

Discover the Benefits of the Disney Dining Plans

  • Make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance.
  • No need to carry cash around.
  • Planning and budgeting in advance is simple.
  • Enjoy wide variety, from fine dining, to dinner with Characters or healthy choices.

Disney is committed to offering a wide range of options for guests seeking well-balanced meals, as well as those with lifestyle dining requests or special dietary requests. Guests should note dietary requests at the time of reservation, and speak with a manager upon arrival at the dining location.

The dining plans include a wide choice of beverages with each meal. Non-alcoholic drinks include artisanal milkshakes, fresh smoothies, mocktails and of course sodas, coffee and tea. Alternatively, choose an alcoholic drink, like beer, cider, most wines and speciality cocktails!

Tips to Remember!

  • Reservations are recommended! Character Dining and Signature Restaurants book up quickly, but you can make reservations up to 60 days prior to your visit.
  • Quick-Service meals are great for casual dining or pit stops in the parks, while Table-Service meals are perfect when you want to relax over your meal.
  • Something to celebrate? For two Table-Service meals per person, you can experience fine dining with a distinctly magical flair at one of the Fine/Signature restaurants. Restrictions apply.
  • Snacks are available at Quick-Service restaurants and outdoor food carts throughout the Resort, including drinks, popcorn, ice cream and fresh fruit.
  • Dining Plans are not available for guests under the age of 3, but they can share from an adult plate at no charge, or a separate meal may be purchased from the menu.
