Disney World Dining Packages

Out of season

These only sell during their festival, so Disney is not currently publishing participating restaurants or dates. We keep watching and these pages light up the moment inventory appears.

How dining packages actually work

A package is a separate reservation, not an add-on

Booking a normal table at a participating restaurant does not get you a show seat, even on the same night at the same restaurant. The package is its own reservation type at its own fixed price, and it has to be booked as one. This is the single most common and most expensive mistake — people book the restaurant, arrive, and find they are queuing for the show with everyone else.

Watch the Dining Plan credit cost

Most packages cost one table-service credit. A few cost two — Le Cellier Steakhouse charges two for the Food & Wine Concert Series. And a quick-service package is not Dining Plan eligible at all.

The cheapest seat is a quick-service package booked same day

Nearly every dining package is a table-service meal at a table-service price. The exception is Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue in the American Adventure pavilion, which sells a Food & Wine Concert Series package at $36 adult / $21 child — a little over a third of Le Cellier’s $99, and the least expensive way to guarantee an Eat to the Beat seat.

Two catches, and they are why it is not in our restaurant directory or on our availability calendars. It is sold same-day only, so it never appears in the 60-day advance booking window that every other package uses — you arrange it the day you want it, not months ahead. And it is not eligible for the Disney Dining Plan, so it is a cash purchase regardless of what credits you are carrying.

If you are travelling on a budget, or you decided to see a concert after you were already in the park, this is the option worth knowing about. If you want the date locked in before you fly, it is not.
