Welcome to planDisney, Melanie! It sounds like we have a lot in common because I'm also so excited about the return of the
Disney Dining Plan beginning on January 9, 2024. My husband and I are major foodies, and the Disney Dining Plan has made it possible for us to try so many new and exciting restaurants when we're at Walt Disney World Resort.
Melanie, at this time, the cost for adults is $94.28 per day on the Disney Dining Plan and $57.01 per day on the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan. These prices are subject to change, so be sure to double-check the most up-to-date pricing when you book your vacation package. If you choose the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, everyone in your party will receive 2 Quick-Service meals and 1 snack or non-alcoholic drink for each night of your stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. If you choose the Disney Dining Plan, everyone in your party will receive 1 Quick-Service meal, 1 Table-Service meal, and 1 snack or non-alcoholic drink for each night of your stay. No matter which Dining Plan you choose, everyone in your party will also receive a Resort-Refillable Drink Mug! Speaking of drinks, each meal comes with a beverage, and that can include alcoholic beverages for guests over the age of 21, so factor that into your calculations when you're deciding if the Dining Plan is right for you.
I have used the Disney Dining Plan many times since it was introduced, and I love the simplicity of having all my meals taken care of before my trip even begins. I find that it encourages me to be adventurous, try new things, and order exactly what I want off the menu without looking at the price! It's such a great added convenience to make your trip to Walt Disney World Resort even easier and more magical.
I hope this answers your question, Melanie, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your vacation.
