JacqueHOST
This is our new mini-sode series where we are taking your frequently asked questions about your upcoming theme park trip and trying our best to give you a short and sweet answer.
JacqueHOST
And this week's question is, is the Disney dining plan worth it? So the Disney dining plan always seems to be a hot topic when families are planning their trips to Disney.
JacqueHOST
And the question, is it worth it, is such a great question to consider in your planning.
JacqueHOST
So let's dive into that.
JacqueHOST
Many times a year, Disney will run deals to get dining packages included for kids or even your whole party.
JacqueHOST
But keep in mind, these deals typically only apply to package deals.
JacqueHOST
So you have to be planning to book that way in order to take advantage of these deals with which Duck and Jess, I think you guys have done a little bit of that before on your trips, right? So what's your experience been with the Disney dining plan?
DuckHOST
Yeah, so we've done trips with it and without it.
RobHOST
And so if you want to do it on a different day at that later time, if you're going to make that work for your family, you don't need the dining package probably for that other day if you go to the later show.

And I do want to add, if you are on the Disney Dining Plan, which is where you prepay for your meals and get certain credits, it's two credits at Brown Derby, but the other three restaurants, 50's Primetime, Hollywood & Vine, and Sci-Fi Dine-In, it only takes one credit.
JessicaHOST
Oh,
CraigPANELIST
really? Yep.
Stephen PayneHOST
I'd be glad to offer you those deals to have a look at.
Stephen PayneHOST
Okay, now, coming up next week on the Travel Agent Disney and Beyond, I want to talk to you about Disney dining plans and whether they are worth it for you.
Stephen PayneHOST
I also want to talk about Niagara Takes Flight on Park Pulse.
Stephen PayneHOST
Niagara Falls is not exactly a theme park, but that attraction is a lot like Disney World's Soarin'.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
Next, not what it seems has to do with the dining plan.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
If you purchase one of Disney's dining plans, I guess specifically the top tier Disney dining plan that's going to come with table service credits where you get sit down meals.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
Those sit down meals most of the time will require an advanced reservation.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
Just because you purchased the dining plan does not mean that you automatically get reservations.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
But know that getting that dining plan doesn't automatically mean you get the reservations.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
You still have to make the reservations and have those ready to go in order to use your dining plan credits.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
And if you're curious, Curious about the Disney Dining Plan? Just search Disney Dining Plan Mountains of Magic podcast and any episodes I've done about that should pop up for you.
Daniele RobbinsHOST
Next thing, not as it seems, has to do with Cinderella's Castle.
JohnnyHOST
We also got to mention, we've mentioned in the past, we are doing.
EricaHOST
We are doing the Disney dining plan.
EricaHOST
Yes.
EricaHOST
Which is new for us.
6 MINS LATER
EricaHOST
But I really do love fish tacos.
EricaHOST
So I'm kind of hoping that it's good.
EricaHOST
But we'll have to go back and look at our notes and see because we did it like could we beat the Disney dining plan was our episode that we did.
EricaHOST
And we had everything that we were going to get.
Stacy WalkerHOST
Number seven.
Stacy WalkerHOST
The Disney dining plan.
Stacy WalkerHOST
I think until the Disney dining plan, people were not experiencing all that Disney dining has to offer.
Stacy WalkerHOST
I think because of really just not knowing, I think because of not having a plan and the expense associated with dining, people were a lot more conservative in their choices in dining, were doing a lot of the quick service, were maybe doing the the character dining here and there that they had heard a friend talk about.
Stacy WalkerHOST
But there was so much that was unknown until the dining plan.
JamesHOST
Yeah.
JamesHOST
Disney Dining Plan users should note that Le
TonyHOST
Cellier and Askershook's
JamesHOST
Royal Banquet Hall require two table service credits.
DannyHOST
And like, I just want to be going and cruising and you know i'll grab a bite to eat here and i'll grab a snack there and maybe a couple of times on my trip i will carve out the space for a nice sit down table service meal but this is a no-brainer for me quick service all the way
CJHOST
All right, let's also take a quick second because the Disney Dining Plan is still going through some changes literally like right now.
CJHOST
We have the 2026 version that will be transitioning to the 2027 version sometime next year.
CJHOST
So as it stands right now for 2026, you have the Disney Dining Plan, which is also – the coming to be table service dining plan.
CJHOST
That is one table service meal, one quick service meal, one snack, and one resort refillable mug for every night of your stay.
CJHOST
Comparatively, you have the quick service plan, two quick service meals per night, one snack, non-alcoholic drink per night, and then the resort mug.
VickiHOST
We found that out when we were on property.
VickiHOST
But they do, again, take Disney Dining Plan, so I know we used to use our snack credits and get coffees and iced teas.
AngelaHOST
I think it's just hilarious that some of the longest lines at Disney are the Starbucks.
AngelaHOST
[laughs]
VirginiaHOST
But how did you feel about using the dining plan?
TonyGUEST
We, we've used a dining plan before, but the, the lo- the, uh, the regular Disney dining plan where you got-
VirginiaHOST
Mm-hmm
TonyGUEST
... quick serve and a sit down, we like that a lot better than this.
