Walt Disney World released their 2018 packages and rates, including an update to the Disney Dining plans for 2018. While the dining plans have remained essentially the same as from the past few years, there are a few major changes. Please find below a quick overview of all the available dining plans for Walt Disney World along with a downloadable brochure showing the dining plan locations. Disney is no longer offering downloadable brochures for each dining plan, the information is available online.
Please note, as you look at the dining plan location brochure, many of the restaurants that will be included for 2018 are not currently listed. This happens every year, as the agreements and contracts for non-Disney restaurants are negotiated each year when it comes to inclusion in the dining plans. As 2018 approaches, more restaurants will be included, and the list should be similar to 2017. Updates with additional restaurants or changes will be posted here.
Quick Service Dining Plan
Initially introduced in 2009, this plan has not changed for 2018. The Quick Service dining plan is a fantastic option for park guests who don’t want to be tied to eating at a sit down restaurant each day.
The Quick Service Dining Plan includes, per person, per night of your stay:
- Two quick service meals
- Two snacks
- One resort refillable resort mug per person per stay
The Quick-Service meals no longer come with a dessert, but you can use a snack credit for a dessert, or use them separately somewhere else.
The cost of the Quick Service dining plan is $52.50 per night per adult (10 and older), and $21.75 per child (3 – 9).

One big change for 2018, at restaurants that offer alcoholic drinks, all meals that come with a beverage, the alcohol drinks are now an option. Previous to 2018, alcoholic drinks were not available as part of any of the Disney Dining Plans. This change effects Quick-Service and Table Service restaurants.
