Make sure you update your dining budget for your upcoming Disney Parks trip. Most of these price increases are under $2 but add up over the course of a days-long vacation at Walt Disney World Resort, especially for larger parties!

It’s unclear if Walt Disney World Resort will raise the cost of the Disney Dining Plan to accommodate these price increases at Quick Service and Table Service locations throughout the Central Florida Disney parks and Resort hotels.
