Guests will be able to use the Disney Dining Plans starting January 9, 2024, but for trips planned on or after that date, you can already add the Disney Dining Plan to a new or existing reservation.
Upon the Dining Plan’s return, two options will be available to Guests: the Disney Dining Plan and the Quick Service Dining Plan. The Disney Dining Plan includes credits for Table Service meals in addition to the Quick Service meals and snack credits included in both plans.

When we look at the best Table Service restaurants for the Disney Dining Plan, some of our favorites include Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Garden Grill Restaurant, Le Cellier Steakhouse, Spice Road Table, and Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria. Even though Akershus Royal Banquet Hall requires two Table Service credits, the restaurant offers a beloved Disney Princess Storybook Dining experience. Garden Grill is an excellent character dining experience that does not require an extra meal credit and features farm-to-table entrees. Le Cellier Steakhouse offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious entrees, perfect for a romantic date night. Spice Road Table and Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria also feature delicious entrees with family-friendly atmospheres.
