Walt Disney World Dining Information
There are many aspects of planning to take into consideration when you’re planning your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Dining at Disney World is not difficult, but it can get complicated if you don’t have some prior knowledge going in. You do not have to micromanage every little detail, but a little bit of planning will go a long way. We’ve done our best to give you some pointers on not only what’s available to eat from snack carts and Quick Service restaurants to Signature dining and everything in between with our extensive Restaurants and Menus area and Search Tool. We’ve also included information on the Disney Dining Plan (returns in Janurary 2024!) and Dining Reservations too.
Disney World Dining Reservations can be made at all of the Walt Disney World Table Service restaurants 60 days in advance. Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort can make all of their dining reservations for their entire length of their stay (up to 10 days of their vacation) at 60-days from their arrival date. You can make your dining reservations online, via the My Disney Experience app, or by calling Disney Dining at (407) WDW-DINE.

The Disney Dining Plan is finally returning to Walt Disney World beginning in January 2024! The Dining Plan will be able to be added to Walt Disney World vacation packages with arrivals beginning on January 9, 2024. A Disney vacation package includes a hotel room at a participating Walt Disney World Resort hotel and theme park tickets. Guests will be able to choose from two popular options: Packages that include either the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan. While some Dining Plan information is currently available on the Walt Disney World website and on the My Disney Experience app, complete details and participating locations will be shared beginning May 31, 2023.
A brand new restaurant –Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya – will open this summer in the Japan pavilion at EPCOT! The new dining location is in the same spot where Tokyo Dining used to be; on the second floor of the Japan pavilion, so we know that Shiki-Sai will also offer a spectacular view of EPCOT, the World Showcase Lagoon, and fireworks at the end of every night. The new table-service restaurant will offer a festive dining experience in a sharable Izakaya-style.
- Summer House on the Lake will be opening their newest location at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World in 2023. They are a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant that serves California-influenced food spotlighting locally sourced produce and ingredients whenever possible. Their menu features salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes, pizzas, and more. Their existing locations in Maryland and Chicago both serve a Weekend Brunch and we’re hoping that they’ll have it available at their future Disney Springs location as well.
The new eatery will be located on Disney Springs’ West Side across from AMC Theatres where Beatrix Restaurant – also a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant – was originally planned.
