Welcome to planDisney, Claire! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today. It sounds like we have a lot in common because
dining is my favorite part of a Walt Disney World vacation, and I am always planning ahead for what I want to eat! The
Disney Dining Plan is such a fun way to plan your meals and treat yourself, and I'm happy to walk you through exactly how it works.
When you use a Table-Service meal from the Disney Dining Plan, you'll be able to order an entrée, dessert, and beverage at participating Table-Service restaurants. If you're 21 or older, your beverage can include an alcoholic drink like a glass of wine, beer, or a cocktail.
Now, as for
what you can order, there's not a set dollar amount or limit for your entrée or dessert. You're welcome to choose just about any item on the menu! Whether you've got your eyes on a steak or a rich chocolate dessert, it's fair game. The Dining Plan is an amazing way to try some of the more indulgent menu items you might otherwise skip. And if a particular dish does come with an upcharge, like a special cut of Wagyu beef, that will be clearly marked on the menu, and your server will be happy to explain how it works.
In the case of restaurants with prix fixe menus, like
Be Our Guest, your Dining Plan covers the whole experience! That means you'll get a starter, an entrée, and a dessert all included when you use your Table-Service meals there. You'll still get your choice of beverage, too! Be Our Guest is a fan favorite because there's so much included when you dine there. So don't worry about price caps, just focus on picking what sounds the most delicious.
Have a magical day, Claire!
