Welcome to planDisney, Elizabeth. How exciting to discuss the
Disney Dining Plan again - I’m so excited it's back from early 2024! Depending on the Dining Plan you select, each Guest in your party, aged 3 and up, will receive a certain number of dining credits per each night of your vacation.
The Dining Plan works on a per-night basis. For example, if you book a 4-night package with a
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, each Guest (over 3) in your party would receive 8 Quick-Service meals and 4 Snacks or non-alcoholic beverages—which can be used at any time during your 4-night stay. You can use your dining plan to place an order using
Mobile Food Order within the My Disney Experience app, where you can also keep an eye on the remaining credits available. When using Mobile Food Order, you can choose to make payment for your whole party in My Disney Experience using the dining credits available. You can use these credits as you wish until depleted – so if you fancy a food splurge one day and a little less the next, that sure is swell.
Character Dining experiences, such as breakfast at The Crystal Palace, are included in the
Disney Dining Plan. If you choose this plan, which includes signature meals, I highly recommend making advanced dining reservations for your trip. The booking window opens 60 days ahead of your arrival.
Elizabeth, I hope this information helps you get the most out of your dining experience at Walt Disney World. Enjoy the magic and the food, Louise.
