Disney Dining Plans: How-To Guide

Discover how you can take advantage of convenient and flexible dining plans during your next stay at Walt Disney World Resort.

Book Meals in Advance


Make dining reservations starting 60 days in advance of arrival, for your entire length of stay (up to a 10-night stay). This can help you enjoy streamlined vacation planning, since you can make all your reservations on the same day—rather than checking availability day after day.

Tips for Using Your Dining Plan

Keep the following in mind when visiting a participating location:
  • Once at your dining location, just let your cashier or server know you are using a dining plan and your meals will be redeemed as you go.
  • For special dietary requests, please speak to a Cast Member upon arrival.
  • If using the dining plan, Guests ages 3 to 9 must order from a children’s menu, where available.
  • If you’re dining with another party that’s also on a dining plan, please notify the server or cashier which meals should be redeemed on each valid Disney Resort ID.
  • Meals and snacks can be redeemed at any time during your stay. Unused meals and snacks will roll over day-to-day and expire at midnight on day of checkout.
