Disneyland Paris Dining Plan 2023
Last Updated on February 12, 2024 by Themepark Freak
When booking a hotel package, you may be asked if you want to purchase a dining plan. What is a dining plan? Is it something worth getting? Is it cost effective? Lets take a look!
What is a Dining Plan?
At Disneyland Paris, when you stay at a Disney property, you will be offered an upsell in the form of a dining plan. Currently there are 3 different plans in the form of Breakfast, Half Board and Full Board.
What is included in the Disneyland Paris Dining Plan?
Now you probably want to know what’s in each Disneyland Paris Dining Plan? Lets answer that question now!
Breakfast Package at Disneyland Paris
It’s a shocker, but the only thing you get in the breakfast package is…breakfast. You get one breakfast for every night that’s booked at a Disney property.
However, the price of breakfast will vary by the Disney property you stay in:
| Disney Property | Breakfast Type | Price (EUR) | Price (USD) |
| Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel | Buffet | Adult €28.00 Child €23.00 | Adult $33.32 Child $27.32 |

*Disney Davy Crockett Ranch breakfast basket contains bread, pastry or cereal, fruit compote and sliced fruit along with fruit juice and a hot drink. You pick this up at the ranger station near your cabin.
Half Board Package at Disneyland Paris
Half board contains both breakfast and either a lunch or dinner at available restaurants per night booked. The lunch or dinner type can be:
- Table-service restaurants (i.e. sit down restaurants)
- Buffets
- Quick service restaurants
You can have lunch or dinner at any applicable restaurant in the parks, hotels or Disney village. What’s available at each type of restaurant?
- Table service: starter, main, dessert and 1 soft drink
- Buffets: all you can eat and 1 soft drink
- Quick service: main, side, dessert and 1 soft drink
| Disney Property | Number of Locations | Price (EUR) | Price (USD) |

Full Board Package at Disneyland Paris
Now here’s where it gets complicated. There are THREE options for the full board Disneyland Paris Dining Package. However, there are some things similar to the half board Disneyland Paris Dining Plan.
The type of restaurants that you can eat at as well as what you get for your lunch and dinner are the same. However, full board you get breakfast, lunch, AND dinner included in the package.
Additionally, with each type of full board (standard, plus and extra plus) you get a lunch or dinner on your last day in the park. The type of full board you get dictates if it will be quick service only (standard where available) or buffet and sit down (plus and extra).
For the price of the extra plus you can convert a lunch or dinner into a character dining meal at no extra cost. Please note that this isn’t an extra meal, but one of your lunches or dinners can be booked at one of the two character dining restaurants (Auberge de Cendrillon or Plaza Gardens Restaurant).
And, the extra plus package also comes with a snack and drink. There is also a separate extra drink that comes with this package, one which can be alcoholic (local laws apply).

How Does the Disney Paris Dining Plan Work?
Once you purchase the plan and it comes time to go to the parks, you’ll get something called a Magic Pass. All of your meal (and drink/snack vouchers if getting the full board extra plus) will be loaded on the card. You show the card at meal time and the meal(s) are deducted from the card.
Stay tuned to find out how it actually works once I get mine and use it!
