When you think of the Walt Disney World® Resort, you probably think of the rides, the parades, the characters, and hopefully... your food.  Dining at Walt Disney World® is an experience in and of itself. At Walt Disney World® there is something for everyone, with a wide spectrum of experiences that range from casual to upscale, and everything in between. 

Perhaps the most popular dining options at the Walt Disney World® Resort are the Character Dining experiences.  Here you'll have the opportunity to meet and eat with your favorite Disney characters.  Each of the 12 Character Dining venues offer unique dining options (normally served family-style or as an all-you-care-to-eat buffet) and feature Disney characters mixing and mingling with guests.  Some of the more popular Character Dining experiences include Playhouse Disney's Play 'N Dine Character Dining at Hollywood & Vine Restaurant located inside Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park, Chef Mickey's Restaurant at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Princess Storybook Dining at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall inside Epcot®, and Cinderella's Royal Table located inside Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom® theme park.

Walt Disney World® also offers a variety of dinner shows which provide a lively and enjoyable way to spend your evening. You'll dine on a delicious all-you-care-to-eat dinner while being treated to exciting live entertainment. Choose from the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, Mickey’s Backyard BBQ, and Disney’s Spirit of Aloha Show.

All in all, there are well over 100 different restaurants to choose from at Walt Disney World®.  Because theme park food can sometimes add up quickly, we offer a Disney Dining option that can be added to your package, which saves you over 30% on your food!  With our basic Disney Dining plan you'll receive one quick-service meal, one table service meal, and one snack for each person in your group for each night of your stay.  To qualify, you must stay at a Disney Resort Hotel and each person in your group must have a Magic Your Way Ticket and add the Disney Dining Plan.
