Hi there, Troy, and welcome to planDisney!
For some people, a visit to
Walt Disney World is all about the thrills. For others, it's about those heartwarming character interactions. But for the fervent foodies among us, the real magic of Disney World lies in the delicious foods, snacks, and sips you can enjoy throughout the resort! As a proud member of the latter group, I'm more than happy to help answer your question about the 2026
Disney Dining Plan. Let's get to it!
Troy, your upcoming visit is just around the corner, and I'm so glad to see that you're thinking ahead in terms of your dining options. While the list of participating restaurants might have looked a little sparse the last time you checked, I have great news for you! Walt Disney World recently updated the 2026 Disney Dining Plan to include
dozens more restaurants (you can
check out the current list right here), including a few of my personal favorites, like
Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen at
Magic Kingdom and
Tiffins Restaurant over at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. In my experience, Tiffins tends to fly a little under the radar, which always surprises me, since the food is
truly excellent.
Since your visit is just a few weeks away, be sure to book your advance dining reservations as soon as possible for the best availability (you can do this through the website or through your
My Disney Experience app). If you find that your favorite restaurants are unavailable, don't fret! Some Walt Disney World restaurants offer a walk-up waitlist, so advance dining reservations aren't always your only option.
Troy, I hope you enjoy every bite of every meal on your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! Thanks again for stopping by
planDisney, and don't forget that we're always here to answer your planning questions.
See ya real soon,
Allison
