Welcome to your guide to eating well (and smart) at Disney in 2027.
At Walt Disney World, dining isn’t just about refuelling between rides — it’s part of the experience. And with Disney Dining & Drinks available for 2027 (including selected Free Dining & Drinks offers), there are even more ways to make mealtimes simple, fun, and great value.
Here’s how to make the most of it.
Mickey-Shaped Everything
From Mickey waffles at breakfast to the iconic Mickey ice cream bar, some snacks are practically a rite of passage. The good news? Many of these treats can be included as snack credits if you have a dining plan.
It’s the little extras like this that turn “grabbing a snack” into a core Disney memory.
Snack Around the World at EPCOT
Instead of one big sit-down meal, try sampling smaller bites around EPCOT’s World Showcase. It’s a brilliant way to experience different cuisines in one afternoon — and snack credits can go a long way here.
It’s flexible, fun, and perfect for families who want variety.
Make Mobile Ordering Your Best Friend
Use the My Disney Experience app to mobile order at quick-service locations. You’ll skip queues, save time, and keep your park day running smoothly.
When dining is already included, it makes the whole process even easier — tap, collect, enjoy.
Refillable Resort Mugs = Easy Wins
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort Hotel with a qualifying dining plan, you’ll receive a Resort-Refillable Mug.
That means unlimited refills at self-service drink stations in your hotel throughout your stay — ideal for early morning coffees or evening soft drinks by the pool.
Plan Ahead for Popular Restaurants
Dining reservations open 60 days before arrival, and popular spots book quickly — especially character dining and signature restaurants.
If you’re travelling with a dining plan (or Free Dining & Drinks), it makes planning those special meals much simpler because much of it is already covered.

Why Disney Dining & Drinks Is a Big Deal for 2027
For selected 2027 arrivals, Disney Dining & Drinks can be included as part of your Hotel + Ticket package.
That means:
- Meals and drinks are included or provided as credits
- You simply tap your MagicBand or card to use them
- You can dine across parks, resorts, and Disney Springs
- Budgeting becomes far easier before you even travel
It’s one of the easiest ways to make a Disney holiday feel more seamless and more predictable — especially if you're travelling as a family.
From quick bites between rides to unforgettable character dining experiences, Disney Dining & Drinks turns food into part of the magic.
And the best part? We'll help you choose the right hotel, explain exactly how the dining works, and make sure you get the best value for your 2027 Disney holiday.
All you need to decide is what you’re eating first.
