Survey Points to Disney Weighing ‘Ultimate Dining Plan’ Revamp at Walt Disney World
Robust park revenue provides room to test pricier offerings across resorts, including dining.
Overview
- A third-party survey shared by WDW Magic outlines possible tiers called On‑the‑Go, Essentials, and an Ultimate Dining Plan resembling the former Deluxe option.
- The Ultimate concept, as described in the survey, would include two table‑service meals, one quick‑service meal, one snack or drink, and a refillable mug.
- Disney has not announced any changes to dining plans, and planDisney previously said it does not know if a Deluxe‑style plan will return in 2025.
- Disney Experiences posted $9.09 billion in fiscal Q3 revenue with domestic park revenue up 10% to $6.4 billion, and CFO Hugh Johnston said the company is not seeing consumer weakness.
- Premium touches continue at Deluxe resorts, including $199‑each‑way Minnie Van airport transfers and Extended Evening Hours, alongside multi‑year refurbishments affecting Yacht and Beach Club, the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower, the Grand Floridian, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Wilderness Lodge.
