New: Disney Dining Plan Plus Details and Pricing

Walt Disney World is now offering guests a new dining plan that offers more flexibility. New details about the Disney Dining Plan Plus have just been released, including pricing!

Just a few days ago, we shared with you about the new Disney Dining Plan Plus. This dining plan is a new flexible dining plan option that allows you to use your dining credits on either Quick Service meals or Table Service meals.

Booking is now available for this exciting new option!

A long time critique of the dining plans prior to this is that some guests felt they were tied to either Quick Service or Table Service, but on this new plan, you can do both!

Now you can dine your way with this flexible new plan! Don’t want to stop during the day to sit down for a meal? Use Quick Service for lunch. Need a break at the end of the long day? A Table Service dinner will do the trick!

According to the Walt Disney World website, guests who book their package and include the Disney Dining Plan Plus will receive the following entitlements.

• 2 Meals – Any combination of Table-Service and Quick-Service (per night of stay)
• 2 Snacks/Nonalcoholic Drinks (per night of stay)
• One Resort-Refillable Drink Mug

It should be noted that refillable Drink Mugs are still refillable only at full-service beverage islands at hotel Quick-Service locations.

Beverages are included in each meal. Guests over 21 may chose an alcoholic beverage with their meal.
