How Do I Purchase A Dining Plan?

In order to purchase a dining plan, a qualifying Walt Disney World Resort vacation must be booked.  All qualifying vacation packages must include a stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.  They may or may not include tickets.  Dining plans are only available for arrivals on or after January 9, 2024.  Dining plans also must be purchased for the entire length of stay and for everyone (ages 3 and over) included in the vacation package.

How Much Does A Dining Plan Cost?

The cost of the dining plan depends on which dining plan is purchased as well as if the person is an adult or child. (Remember, children are considered to be between the ages of 3 and 9 years old!) We did the math and figured out the cost of both dining plans. Remember that pricing is subject to change at any time.

Disney Quick Service Dining Plan Cost

  • $57.01 per night per adult (ages 10+)

  • $23.84 per night per child (ages 3 - 9)

Disney Dining Plan Cost

  • $94.29 per night per adult (ages 10+)

  • $29.69 per night per child (ages 3 - 9)
