New Dining Plan and Ticket Add-On Available at Walt Disney World® Resort

Walt Disney World® Resort has just announced the addition of two new options that will allow your Magic Maker® to build a vacation package that’s a perfect fit for your family at a great value!

Disney Dining Plan Plus

Starting today, a new dining plan option has been added to the previous lineup of offerings. Called Disney Dining Plan Plus, this gives each guest two meals per night of their package stay to redeem at their choice of either table service restaurants or quick service locations. This is a perfect “in-between” plan for our guests that loved the flexibility of the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan but don’t want three full meals a day! Like the other dining plans, the new one will also come with two snacks per person per night and one Disney Resort hotel refillable drink mug.

Here’s an overview of the current dining plan offerings:

Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan

  • 2 Meals:
    2 Quick-Service Meals
    No Table-Service Meals
  • 2 Snacks/NonAlcoholic Drinks
  • 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug Per Person
  • No Special Dining Experience

Disney Dining Plan

  • 2 Meals:
    1 Quick-Service Meal
    1 Table-Service Meal
  • 2 Snacks/NonAlcoholic Drinks
  • 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug Per Person
  • Plus, redeem your meals for Special Dining Experiences, including Character Dining!

Disney Dining Plan Plus

  • 2 Meals – Any Combo of:
    Quick-Service Meal
    Table-Service Meal
  • 2 Snacks/NonAlcoholic Drinks
  • 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug Per Person
  • Plus, redeem meals for Special Dining Experiences, including Character Dining!

Disney Deluxe Dining Plan

  • 3 Meals – Any Combo of:
    Quick-Service Meals
    Table-Service Meals
  • 2 Snacks/NonAlcoholic Drinks
  • 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug Per Person
  • Plus, redeem your meals for Special Dining Experiences, including Character Dining!

*Per person per night. The specific number of meal options and snacks are determined by the number of nights included in the package stay however, meals can be rolled over and redeemed in any order throughout the vacation. Resort-Refillable Drink Mug is one per person (age 3+) per stay.

Water Park and Sports Option

A new add-on to select theme park tickets called Water Park and Sports Option will give you admission to many of the resort’s most popular recreational activities. For $70 plus tax, you can experience the splashiest thrills at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Parks, live your basketball dreams at The NBA Experience, attend events at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and test your skills at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course, Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course or Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course. Some usage restrictions apply, so ask your Magic Maker® for full details.

The total number of admissions you will receive with this option is based on the length of your theme park ticket. For example, with a 5-day ticket that you choose to include the Water Park and Sports Option on, you’ll have five visits to any of the above locations. How you use these admissions is totally up to you! You can use all the admissions on the same day or repeat the same experience across multiple days.

Ask your Magic Maker® how these two new options can add convenience and value to your next Walt Disney World® Resort vacation!
