Disney World’s 2026 Dining Plan Shrinks Roster, Adds Meal‑Time Limits and Kids‑Free Deal

Unfinalized third‑party contracts are leaving planners uncertain about where 2026 dining credits will be accepted.

Overview

Disney’s official 2026 listings currently omit roughly 30 to 35 restaurants from the Dining Plan, with counts varying by website and app filters.
Four venues now restrict credits by meal period in 2026: Terralina Crafted Italian and Tutto Italia at lunch only, and The Edison and Via Napoli at dinner only.
Many missing locations are third‑party operations such as The BOATHOUSE, Chefs de France, Rainforest Cafe, Yak & Yeti, Splitsville, and T‑Rex, a pattern widely attributed to contract renewals that often finalize early in the year.
Disney is offering a free Dining Plan for children ages 3–9 with qualifying Walt Disney Travel Company packages in 2026.
Updates also include Liberty Tree Tavern expanding daytime availability and new participating spots like Marketplace Snacks, Swirls on the Water, Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe, Refreshment Outpost, and Tangierine Café, as inconsistent site signals continue to cause planning confusion.
