Disney Dining

When you’re thinking about planning your Disney vacation you’ll need to think about setting aside a budget for food. Enjoying yourself at the parks is hungry work and you’ll need to think about what you’d like to eat and when.

Disney has 300 dining locations offering thousands of menu items so you’ll be spoiled for choice!

Of course sometimes too much choice can be overwhelming and you’ll need to think about whether the food is in your budget, will everyone like the food, do you need reservations, can you eat with the characters?

Here’s a quick guide to Disney Dining options so that you can find the food and restaurant that’s right for you and your family.

Disney dining option 1: The affordable guide to eating at Disney World

If you are on a tight budget then you should think carefully about your meals. You can save money by bringing lunch to the parks in a small cooler and eating cereal for breakfast in your room.

Bonus: Look for special packages that offer the Disney Dining Plan for free.

Disney dining option 2: For those who want to splurge a little but still save money

If you are quite cost-conscious but would still like to treat your family on vacation then plan to eat at counter-service restaurants. You can make reservations at table service restaurants or even a character meal for a special treat.

Disney dining option 3: For those who want hassle free dining and don’t mind the cost

If you’re not worried about the cost then most Disney World dining options are open to you. You should make reservations 180 days out for restaurants you really want to eat at. Consider the Disney Dining Plan for hassle free dining.

Disney dining option 4: For those who want to experience fine dining

If you prefer unique and special dining experiences then you will find a wide variety of world-class restaurants at Walt Disney World. You must make advance dining reservations up to 180 days in advance to make sure that you can be seated at your choice of restaurants.

With so much choice it will pay to do a little research into Disney dining options – whether you are on a tight budget or planning to splurge. If you want to eat at the table service restaurants then reservations are a must – you need to call Disney Dining 180 days before the day you plan to eat.
