The plans won’t officially return until January 2024, but new details regarding the pricing have recently been released by Disney. Walt Disney World Resort will be offering Guests staying on property two different Disney dining plans: Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Standard Dining Plan.
Disney Quick Service Dining Plan
The quick service plan is best suited for individuals with no intention of visiting a sit-down restaurant during their time at Disney. For every night of your stay each Guest will enjoy two quick service meals (meal is defined as one entrée and one alcoholic or nonalcoholic drink) and one snack or nonalcoholic beverage. It also comes with a refillable mug that can be used at your resort.

Disney Standard Dining Plan
For those looking to enjoy some sit-down restaurants during their vacation, the Standard Disney Dining Plan offers a few more options. For every night of your stay, each Guest will enjoy one quick service meal, one table service meal, one snack or nonalcoholic beverage, and a resort-refillable mug.
Standard Dining Plan will be $94.28 per adult and $29.69 per child (price is per night at a Disney owned and operated hotel).
Although many have praised Disney’s decision to bring back the dining plans, some have criticized the price increase compared to dining plans of the past.
