If you’re the type of Disney vacationer who builds your day around a sit-down meal or two, the 2027 Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan is going to be the one to watch.
This is the most robust of the three dining plans returning for 2027, and it’s designed for guests who want a mix of flexibility and sit-down experiences. You’re not just grabbing a quick bite between rides. You’re planning meals that are part of your day. Or maybe you’re a Disney foodie who plans to use all their snack credits at the kiosks during an EPCOT festival. Or you could be the family who likes to grab late-night bites at one of the incredible lounges. Whatever your vibe, this dining plan gives you all that flexibility.
Here’s what you get.
What’s Included
Every guest ages 3 and up on the reservation receives, per night of stay:
- 2 Table-Service Meals
- 1 Quick-Service Meal
- 1 Snack or Nonalcoholic Drink
- 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug
That’s per person, per night, not per stay.
So if you book a 4-night package, each person in your party gets:
- 8 table-service meals
- 4 quick-service meals
- 4 snacks or drinks
And you can use them any time during your trip, as any unused credits will roll over daily. They do expire at midnight on your checkout day, so keep an eye on that. If you want to stack multiple table-service meals into one day by enjoying some signature dining or a dinner show like Hoop-Dee-Doo, you totally can.
Why This Plan Stands Out
This plan focuses heavily on table-service dining, with two sit-down meals per person each night. It provides opportunities for character dining, visits to signature restaurants, or simply taking an air-conditioned break during a busy theme park day. You also receive a quick-service meal, which gives you flexibility on mornings or during mid-day breaks when you don’t want to make a reservation.
New for 2027: Kids Dining Savings
For 2027 arrivals, Disney is offering up to 20% savings on dining for kids ages 3 to 9 when you purchase a package with a dining plan.
That savings is based on menu pricing without a dining plan, and it will vary depending on what you order, but it’s something families will want to consider when comparing their options.
The Details That Matter
There are a few things to keep in mind before booking:
- The plan must be purchased for everyone in the party (ages 3+) and for the entire length of stay
- Meals and snacks are pooled and flexible, not tied to specific days
- Any unused meals expire at midnight on checkout day
- Meals are nontransferable between guests
- Gratuities are not included
You’ll also need theme park admission for certain dining locations, and reservations are strongly recommended for most table-service restaurants.
When you dine, just let your server know you’re using the dining plan. Your remaining credits will show on your receipt and in the My Disney Experience app, which makes it easy to keep track.
A Quick Note on Drinks
Each meal includes a beverage. Guests under 21 can choose nonalcoholic options, while guests 21 and older can opt for beer, wine, or cocktails where available.
And that refillable mug? It works at self-service beverage stations at Disney Resort hotels for the length of your stay, but cannot be used within the theme parks.
Bottom Line
The Deluxe Dining Plan is made for guests who want to sit down, relax, and make dining part of their Disney experience. It’s obviously not the most budget-friendly option, but if you’re planning multiple table-service meals anyway, it can make a lot of sense.
Just make sure you’ll actually use those credits before you head home. Two table-service meals per night add up quickly if you don’t.
