Disney World Adds Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan Returns to 2027 Lineup

If you’re a fan of sit-down dining at Walt Disney World, here’s some news worth bookmarking for your 2027 trip planning. Disney is adding a brand-new Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan to its lineup starting in 2027, giving guests who love table-service restaurants a dedicated plan to match. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s changing, what each plan includes, and how the kids savings offer is shifting too.

What’s Changing: 2 Plans in 2026, 3 Plans in 2027

In 2026, Disney offers two dining plans as part of a Walt Disney Travel Company package: the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Disney Dining Plan (table-service). Both remain available this year.

Starting in 2027, the lineup expands to three options:

• Quick-Service Dining Plan — 2 quick-service meals + 1 snack per night of stay
• Table-Service Dining Plan — 1 table-service meal + 1 quick-service meal + 1 snack per night of stay
• Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan (NEW) — 2 table-service meals + 1 quick-service meal + 1 snack per night of stay

The new Deluxe plan is designed for guests who want to do a sit-down meal at breakfast, lunch, or dinner twice every day — the kind of trip where you’re hitting character meals, signature restaurants, and dinner shows throughout your stay.

What’s Included in Each Plan

All three plans include a Resort-Refillable Drink Mug and access to Pizza Pick Up.

The Table-Service and Deluxe Table-Service plans go further and also include access to:

• Private In-Room Dining at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
• Character Dining
• Dinner Shows
• Fine/Signature Dining
• Dining Events

Note that some fine/signature dining and select Character dining experiences will deduct 2 table-service meal credits per person — so plan ahead when booking, Cinderella’s Royal Table, and similar premium experiences.

How the Dining Plans Work

A few key rules to keep in mind before booking:

• Every guest aged 3 and over on the same room booking receives the same plan — you can’t mix and match.
• Meals and snacks are calculated based on the number of nights in your package stay, not the number of days.
• Unused meals and snacks roll over day to day but expire at midnight on checkout day.
• Meals and snacks are non-transferable between party members.
• Guests aged 3 to 9 must order from a children’s menu where available.
• Gratuities are not included.
• Advance dining reservations are strongly recommended — and may be required — at table-service restaurants.
• Beverages are included with each meal. Guests 21+ with valid ID can substitute beer, wine, or cocktails.

Kids Savings: How It Changes in 2027

The kids dining savings offer is also shifting between 2026 and 2027, and this is worth paying attention to if you’re traveling with young children:

• In 2026: Kids ages 3–9 receive a free dining plan when you purchase a package that includes a Disney Resort room and a dining plan for every guest aged 10 and over. Availability is limited.
• In 2027: Kids ages 3–9 receive up to 20% off dining when you include a dining plan in your package. Actual savings vary based on menu items ordered.

If you’re planning a family trip and the free kids dining offer is a major factor for you, 2026 may be the better year to book — that free plan for young kids is a significant value that’s changing in 2027.

How to Book a Dining Plan

Dining plans must be added as part of a Walt Disney Travel Company package that includes a Disney Resort hotel stay. The plan must cover the full length of your stay and the entire party aged 3 and over. You can track remaining meals and snacks on your receipts or through the My Disney Experience app during your stay.

The new Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan is a solid option for guests who prioritize dining experiences over quick bites — especially if you’re planning to hit multiple signature restaurants or character meals. For most families, the standard Table-Service plan will still offer great value. The key is matching the plan to how you actually eat on vacation.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
