Understanding the Disney Dining Plan (DDP)

Choosing the right Disney Dining Plan can significantly impact your Walt Disney World vacation budget. The Disney Dining Plan is an optional add-on for guests staying at Disney Resort hotels who have booked a vacation package. It allows you to prepay for your meals and snacks, providing a "semi-inclusive" feel to your Disney trip.

Available Plans in 2024-2025

Currently, Disney offers two primary dining tiers:

  • Quick Service Dining Plan: Perfect for families on the go. It includes 2 Quick-Service meals and 1 snack per person, per night of your stay.
  • Disney Dining Plan (Standard): Ideal for those who enjoy sit-down meals. It includes 1 Table-Service meal, 1 Quick-Service meal, and 1 snack per person, per night.

How This Calculator Works

Our calculator uses estimated current market rates for the dining plans. For the 2024 season, rates are approximately:

Plan Type Adult (Per Night) Child (Per Night)
Quick Service $57.01 $23.83
Standard DDP $94.28 $29.69

Is the Dining Plan Worth It?

To determine if you are getting your money's worth, compare the total package cost against what you would spend paying out-of-pocket. If your family enjoys character dining (which often costs $60+ per adult), the Standard Disney Dining Plan usually provides excellent value. If you prefer light snacks and sharing meals, paying out-of-pocket might be cheaper.

Example Calculation

If a family of 2 Adults and 2 Children stays for 5 nights on the Standard Disney Dining Plan:

  • Adults: (2 adults × $94.28) × 5 nights = $942.80
  • Children: (2 children × $29.69) × 5 nights = $296.90
  • Total Estimated Cost: $1,239.70
