What Is The Disney Dining Plan?
Disney offers pre-paid packages that can be added to any Disney Resort reservation. It can not be purchased independently.
There are four tiers, and each plan offers a combination of meal and snack credits that can be used at most dining establishments, plus a refillable mug that you can use at your resort.
You can order anything off the menu as part of your meal (usually includes entree, drink, and dessert) and use any, or all, of the credits whenever you want, for whomever you’d like.
When payment is due, you scan your MagicBand to apply your credits.
Gratuity is additional. Table service meal credits cover the full price of any buffet.
Some upscale and specialty dining experiences require 2 table service credits.
Advance planning is essential to getting those coveted Disney dining reservations!
