food IS a theme park
Do you use the Disney Dining Plan?
We love Disney food!
If you’re staying at a Disney World hotel as part of a vacation package, you can add on the dining plan to pre-pay for your meals. The plan is designed to make a Disney World vacation a more all-inclusive experience. We saw prices rise when the Disney Dining Plan was re-introduced in January 2024, and now, we know that prices are going up again for your 2025 vacation.
This is NOT the news we wanted to find today. And it’s probably not the news you want to read today. But if you love this classic Disney World treat as much as we do, you need to be aware of a painful update.
Carrot Cake Cookie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We recently saw TONS of price increases affect restaurant menus throughout the Disney World theme parks and hotels, but one more major change just hit an exclusive experience in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios
Fantasmic! is a popular nighttime show in Hollywood Studios, featuring Sorcerer Mickey as he takes on some of Disney’s most infamous villains with the help of all kinds of heroes. You can attend the show for free (with a valid Hollywood Studios park ticket), but you can also choose to purchase a Fantasmic! Dining Package. A word of warning about those dining packages: They just got more expensive!

Homecomin’
Over in Disney Springs, you’ll find a ton of great restaurants. But there’s one that stands out above all the rest that we keep going back to time and time again: Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’. This restaurant serves tasty southern-inspired cuisine like fried chicken and doughnuts, hush puppies, and deviled eggs.
