What is the Disney Dining Plan?
​
The Disney Dining Plan is an exclusive feature available to guests staying at Disney Resort hotels, offered as part of the Vacation Package. Guests have the option to purchase this dining plan in advance or opt out, depending on their preferences.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Disney Dining Plan
​
When planning Disney vacations, our travel advisors discuss with clients whether the Disney Dining Plan fits their trip's needs. We help maximize the value of the plan by strategically mapping out meal credits and choosing higher-end restaurants where dining credits stretch further. This approach ensures that each meal adds value, and guests can enjoy their dining experiences knowing their bills are pre-paid.

Considerations When Using Dining Credits
​
While the Disney Dining Plan offers convenience and savings, it’s important to note that not all restaurants at Walt Disney World accept dining credits. Below are notable exceptions where you might need to pay out of pocket, which allows for flexibility in your dining choices.
