Hi there, David, and welcome to planDisney! I'm so happy that you're here with this great question about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World Resort! It sounds like you're planning an epic Christmastime stay, and adding a dining plan to your reservation is a great way to make your vacation feel more all-inclusive.
David, my fellow Panelists know that I'm a huge fan of
dining plans at Walt Disney World Resort. I love the idea of streamlining my vacation and taking some of the decisions off my plate. Since I like to plan in advance, I enjoy making
Advance Dining Reservations for each day that I visit a Disney Theme Park, so that I have a set time to relax with my family around a table full of delicious food, allowing us to finish the day with renewed energy!
You actually have two options when it comes to adding a dining plan to your vacation package. The
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan includes two quick-service meals and one snack per day, and it's great for guests who like to be more flexible. The
Disney Dining Plan includes one table service meal, one quick-service meal, and one snack per day. For adults, alcoholic beverages are included with each meal, where available, with each dining plan. All dining plans include a resort refillable mug that you can use for a variety of beverages not only at your home resort, but at any resort throughout Walt Disney World Resort.
Depending on which dining plan you choose, the price will change accordingly. The pricing for dining plans at Walt Disney World Resort for 2024 are per night of stay: the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan is $57.01 per adult (ages 10 and up) and $28.83 per child (ages three to nine) and the Disney Dining Plan is $94.28 per adult (ages 10 and up) and $29.69 per child (ages three to nine). Children under three may eat for free off of an adult's plate, or they may get their own plate at an all-you-care-to-eat restaurant. While these prices are set for 2024, they're subject to change for future bookings.
