Walt Disney World released their 2016 packages and rates, including an update to the Disney Dining plans for 2016, which include basically no changes from the 2015 and previous year dining plans. Please find below a quick overview of all the available dining plans for Walt Disney World along with a downloadable brochure for each with more in depth information.
Please note, as you look at the brochures, many of the restaurants that will be included for 2016 are not currently listed on the brochures. 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 2016 approaches, more restaurants will be included, and the list should be similar to 2015. Updates with additional restaurants or changes will be posted here.
Quick Service Dining Plan
Initially introduced in 2009, this plan has not changed for 2016. 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
- One snack
- One resort refillable resort mug per person per stay
The cost of the Quick Service dining plan is $42.84 per night per adult (10 and older), and $17.47 per child (3 – 9).

Disney Dining Plan
Again, not much has changed from the Disney Dining plan of 2015. The cost of the Disney Dining Plan is the same all year.
The Disney Dining Plan includes, per person, per night of your stay:
- One table service meal
- One quick service meal
- One snack
- One resort refillable resort mug per person per stay
Please note gratuities are not included on the table service meals. Table service meals can also be used for signature restaurants, dinner shows, private dining or pizza delivery (these typically run 2 table service meals per person). More information can be found in the brochure.
The cost of the Disney dining plan is $61.84 per night per adult (10 and older), and $20.96 per child (3 – 9).

Disney Deluxe Dining Plan
One big change from 2015, based on the current brochures, Walt Disney World has removed the appetizer from lunch/dinner options (it never was an option for breakfast).
The Disney Deluxe Dining Plan includes, per person, per night of your stay:
- Three meals, which can be used for either quick service or table service meals
- Two snacks
- One resort refillable mug
The policy is the same for table service meals on the deluxe dining plan (gratuities not included, can be used for signature restaurants, etc.).
The cost of the Disney Deluxe dining plan is $111.73 per night per adult (10 and older), and $32.56 per child (3 – 9).

Magic Your Way Platinum Package
Similar to the premium package above, the Platinum package is the ultimate in luxury. Again, as with the Premium plan, the Magic Kingdom Wishes Nighttime Spectacular fireworks viewing and Epcot IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth viewing options have been removed. The Magic Your Way Platinum package is only available at the Deluxe Disney resorts.
The Magic Your Way Platinum Package includes everything the premium package offers, plus:

- One selected spa treatment per person
- Fireworks cruise (one per reservation, everyone on your reservation is included)

The cost of the Platinum package is $260 per night per adult (10 and older), and $190 per child (3 – 9). That is in addition to the standard cost of a Magic Your Way package. There is now a 3 night minimum stay required in order to book the platinum package.
Brochure: Magic Your Way Platinum Package
For all of the packages above, there are a few things to remember:
- Everyone in your room must be on the same dining plan/package
- Dining plan credits expire at midnight the day you check out
- Dining plan credits are based on the number of nights you stay
- You must purchase the dining plan for your entire stay
- Dining plan credits and park passes are not transferable
I had heard that Disney was going to be changing the quick serve (i.e. allowing a drink or another side for a dessert). is this true?
This would be a make or break it for our family. Not a huge dessert family. We are not huge dessert people but we would definitely choose another side or drink.
Michelle – Officially, nothing has changed. You can always ask the cashier however, some of them will offer you alternatives if you ask nicely.
If you look at the brochure, it looks like they did make that change for quick service meals only. Under quick service, it says the beverage for breakfast and the beverage and dessert for lunch and dinner can be substituted for any eligible snack item. That will be nice since you will already have the refillable mug! Finally a change that make sense for the users.
