The Disney Dining Plan

Dining Plan Rules

The only requirement is staying in a Disney Resort that is on Disney property.
Must be purchased for the duration of your stay.
Must be purchased for everyone in your party who is 3 years of age or older. Children under 3 may eat off of an adult’s plate or you can pay out-of-pocket for their meals. Children ages 10 and up will be charged the adult price.
You may convert 1 Quick Service credit to 3 snack credits at most Quick-Service locations (excluding carts and kiosks), but only if all 3 snacks qualify for the dining plan and all 3 are purchased at once.
Trading Snack credits for meal credits is still not permitted.
Meal credits expire on midnight of the day you check-out of your resort.
Gratuity is NOT included on the Dining Plans. For parties of 6 or more, 18% gratuity is automatically added.
If you’re dining with another party that’s also using a MagicBand or card to redeem meals, please notify the server which meals should be redeemed on each valid Disney Resort ID.
You can redeem your meals and snacks in any order during your stay, until your credits are gone. All unused credits as well as the ability to use your refillable mug expire at midnight on your package reservation checkout date.
