Hi, Ashley!
Welcome to
Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Oh, my goodness, you are going to love your
Disney Dining Plan options! In short, while traveling around the parks and resorts at
Walt Disney World, most Table-Service and Quick Service locations will accept your Disney Dining Plan. Of course, details of which locations participate in these Disney Dining Plans are adjusted around the new year as arrangements with independent restaurants are finalized for that year. New restaurants sometimes take a little longer to join the program, too, and it's always a good idea to check to see if a location that you plan to visit participates
this year. That can be a good indication of participation the next year as well.
The best way to check participation in Disney Dining Plans is right on the Walt Disney World website. In the search bar, simply type in the name of the restaurant you'd like to visit, then go to that restaurant's page. Click on "Some Dining Plans Accepted", which will appear to the right of the page of participating restaurants, and you'll be connected to a chart that lists such details.
You can also go to the Disney Dining Plan link embedded above and click on the Dining Plan you've chosen for your stay. (The list is to the right of the page.) Participating restaurants are listed on that Dining Plan resource. However, as the new year approaches, expect to see more participating restaurants added to that list.
Send more questions about dining in Disney or any other facet of your exciting trip, Ashley! We love to help!
