    How does a la carte work when using your Disney dining plan

    Hi Annisia,

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I’m so glad you reached out about the Disney Dining Plan. I love how it makes meals throughout your Walt Disney World vacation fun and easy, and it’s actually pretty flexible once you know how it works.

    When it comes to ordering from an à la carte menu, you’ll have different options for the different restaurant types found at the parks. For example, at Quick-Service spots, you can use your credits at any participating location to grab an entrée and a drink. Perfect for fueling up between rides or catching a quick bite on the go.

    When you’re dining at Table-Service meals, your credit covers an entrée, a dessert (for lunch or dinner), and a beverage. If you’re 21 or older, you can swap that included drink for a beer, wine, or cocktail, because sometimes a little extra pixie dust comes in a glass. ChEARs! 

    And don’t forget about your snack credits! They can be used at lots of spots for treats like popcorn, ice cream, or other fun bites throughout the parks and resorts.

    I hope this helped answer your question. Please don’t hesitate to come back for any additional tips or if you’d like us to share a few of our favorite spots to really get the most magic out of your credits. It’s one of my favorite parts of planning a Disney trip!

    Hoping your meals are as sweet as a Dole Whip and your vacation full of Disney magic,
