One of the more popular add-ons for Walt Disney World vacation packages are the Disney Dining Plans. The Disney Dining Plans allow Guests to customize their vacation package with an option that offers Guests the opportunity to save on the cost of dining. It also gives guests the chance to pay for their dining in advance and experience a more “all-inclusive” vacation.
Disney Dining Plans are available only as part of a package including a Walt Disney World Vacation Package and must be purchased in advance. With these dining plans, Guests are able to get quick service meals, table service meals, and snacks all for one simple price.
Up until now, there were three different dining plan options for Guests to choose from. They were the Quick Service Dining Plan, the Disney Dining Plan, and the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan. Today, the Walt Disney World Resort has added a fourth plan called the Disney Dining Plan Plus.
The Disney Dining Plan Plus allows Guests:
- 2 Meals Per Night of Stay – Any combination of Table-Service and Quick-Service Meals

The specific number of meal options and snacks Guests receive are determined by the number of nights included in the package stay. In addition, meals don’t expire until your vacation is over, so they can be rolled over and redeemed in any order throughout your vacation.
With this new Disney Dining Plan Plus option, it allows Guests to be able to enjoy great meals at Disney, without potentially feeling completely stuffed at the end of the vacation.
