Disney Announces Price Increase For Disney Dining Plan Return
By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on June 2, 2023 at 11:30 AM EDT
Disney Dining Plans were one of the most popular add-on perks to Walt Disney World Resort vacation packages; however, due to the ongoing pandemic, Disney paused the Dining Plan. The Disney Dining Plan allowed families to prepay for their sit-down meals, quick service meals, and snacks so they could enjoy their Disney World vacations with less financial stress.
Last month, Disney announced they are bringing back the Disney Dining Plan and will not offer just one plan -- but two dining plan options! Now, the pricing has been revealed, along with more details.
How Much Will The Disney Dining Plan Cost?
Disney has announced there will be two options- the Disney Dining Plan and the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan.
The Disney Dining Plan, which is the plan that includes table-service restaurants, will cost $94.28 per adult per night staying at Walt Disney World and $29.69 per child per night.
Meanwhile, the Quick-Service Dining Plan, which does not include table-service restaurants, will cost $57 per adult per night and $23.83 per child per night.
The prices have increased since the last time they were offered. In 2020, the Disney Dining Plan cost $78 per adult per night and $30.51 per child per night, while the Quick-Service plan cost adults $55 and children $26 each per night.
The Disney Dining Plans will officially return on January 9, 2024, but Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel can book them starting today, May 31, 2023.
