Thanks for bringing your question here to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Pat! My two favorite Walt Disney World topics are the
fabulous restaurants and making use of the
Disney Dining Plan. I plan most of my family’s vacation around dining in our favorite restaurants while always trying to incorporate a few new dining experiences. The Disney Dining Plan allows us to budget for some extraordinary meals and fun Character Dining experiences well before our vacation begins. I believe you will find the
list of restaurants that do accept the Disney Dining Plan quite plentiful, offering a diverse selection of cuisines and dining experiences.
You can easily find which restaurants in Walt Disney World accept the Disney Dining Plan by selecting the appropriate Disney Dining Plan Filter on the “
All Restaurants” page. You can then narrow your search further by selecting the location of restaurants under your search, such as
Magic Kingdom Park, or a specific
Walt Disney World Resort. You can narrow the search even further, specifying cuisine type or dining experience (Character Dining, Counter Service, Buffet/Family Style, etc.). From the restaurant page you can click on “Some Dining Plans Accepted” to see exactly which dining plans are accepted, as well as the entitlements required for each meal.
Since you will be visiting
Walt Disney World in April, I highly recommend that you save some of those “snack credits” from your
Disney Dining Plan for use at the
2020 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival. There will be
Outdoor Kitchens found throughout
Epcot that offer dining plan snack credit eligible offerings with some of the freshest flavors of the season.
I hope that this information helps you to find some excellent dining experiences to enjoy during your next Walt Disney World Vacation! Please stop back by if we can help answer any more of your vacation questions.
