Your complete guide to Disneyland Paris meal plans

Disneyland Paris meal plans change for arrivals from April 1, 2027. I’ll walk you through the new plans first, then the ones that apply if you arrive by March 31, 2027.

Are you booking a stay at a Disney hotel and wondering how the meal plans work? These plans, which some people also call "meal vouchers," can be booked only with a hotel stay. Day visitors can’t get them.

A plan lets you organize your meals before you go, keep food spending predictable and, sometimes, pocket a few euros. Below, I go through it all: how the plans work and when they pay off.

The new meal plans come in four options: Essential, Extra, Signature, and Royal. They apply to arrivals from April 1, 2027. What matters is your arrival date, not the date you book. The official guide is on Disneyland Paris’s Meal Plans page (in French).

Under the new system, Disney drops the labels "half board" and "full board." If you add breakfast to 1 meal per night, you end up with what used to be half board. Add breakfast to 2 meals per night and it matches the old full board. The catch: breakfast is a separate booking and doesn’t come with the plan’s price.

Just like now, you buy the plan in advance, never on site. You put it together in three steps.

Here are the prices Disney has announced, per person per night. They’re current as of October 2026. A child pays half the adult price.

Breakfast is no longer part of the plan, unlike today’s half board and full board. To compare, add the cost of breakfast if you plan to have it.

For example, take 2 adults and 1 child staying 3 nights, Extra option, 2 meals each night. The total is €600, breakfast not included.

This is where your meal is covered. Find the column that matches your option and you’re set. I pulled this list from the Disneyland Paris website on October 5, 2026. The official guide adds one unnamed restaurant to each option compared with this list.

Elsewhere in the parks and at the Disney hotels, any other restaurant will take your voucher too. When the bill is higher than the voucher, you cover the gap. Some Disney Village restaurants won’t take vouchers at all: McDonald’s, The Royal Pub, Starbucks, Earl of Sandwich, Five Guys, Brasserie Rosalie, Casa Giulia, and Vapiano.

At table-service restaurants, the voucher covers a set menu picked from a selection. That menu includes at least an appetizer and a main course, or a main course and a dessert. At buffet restaurants, it covers the all-you-can-eat buffet and a soft drink. At quick-service restaurants, you get a main dish, a side, and a soft drink. The kids’ menu adds a dessert.

My tip: once your stay is confirmed, reserve your tables right away through the app or the official site. Guests of partner hotels can reserve up to 2 months out.

Character lunches and dinners come only with Royal. That option is limited to Disneyland Hotel guests, who also have Signature as a choice. On Royal, any of your meal vouchers works for a character lunch or dinner. That covers four restaurants: Auberge de Cendrillon, The Regal View Restaurant, Royal Banquet, and La Table de Lumière.

On Essential, Extra, or Signature, character meals aren’t covered. You’re still welcome to book one and pay the difference.

No option covers character breakfast. It’s an add-on you can buy for an extra fee while booking your stay, unless you went with breakfast in the parks or at Disney Village. Your hotel breakfast voucher also works for a character breakfast, and you pay the difference. In every case, you need a reservation ahead of time. My article on character dining has all the details.

Whichever plan you pick, it works the same way: the number of meals matches the number of nights you book, and you spread your vouchers across your stay however you like. All three plans fit around your schedule and how much time you want to spend on meals.

If you arrive by March 31, 2027, half board and full board come in four versions: Standard and Plus, then Extra Plus and Premium. Breakfast only is one single plan with no versions. Which one you get depends on your hotel: the fancier the hotel, the longer the list of restaurants. From April 2027, they’re replaced by Essential, Extra, Signature, and Royal.

At check-in, your meal vouchers get loaded onto your MagicPass (the stay card the hotel gives you). When it’s time to pay at a restaurant, you simply hand over your MagicPass at the register.

No voucher is tied to a particular day. Feel free to use them whenever you like during your stay, as long as you stay within your total before you check out. Two vouchers in one day? No problem.

Good to know: a meal plan also lets you eat at a restaurant that isn’t on the plan, as long as you cover the gap between the bill and your voucher.

If you arrive from April 1, 2027, nothing changes on this point.

If you arrive by March 31, 2027, what you pay comes down to your plan and your option. The cheapest is breakfast only, and the priciest is Premium full board. Below are the numbers for each person, for each night. Arriving from April 2027? Scroll back up to the new meal plan prices.

With half board, you get breakfast and one meal each night. The higher the option (Standard, Plus, Premium), the higher the price. You can’t get Extra Plus as half board. Standard runs €55 for each adult, each night.

Full board includes breakfast plus two meals per night. It comes with all four options, Extra Plus included. Expect €75 per adult per night for Standard, and up to €245 for Premium.

Depending on your hotel, only some of these options will be open to you (see the options table above). For example, the Premium option only exists at the Disneyland Hotel, and Extra Plus is offered at every hotel except that one.

Each hotel sets its own price for the breakfast-only plan. You pay the same as you would at the restaurant door, so there’s no saving at all. For arrivals from April 2027, that’s different: booking breakfast at your hotel early knocks up to 17% off the walk-in price. For the full picture, see my article on breakfast at Disneyland Paris.

Each plan is a different story. Go with breakfast only and there’s zero saving, since you pay exactly what the restaurant charges at the door. For arrivals from April 2027, that’s no longer true: book breakfast at your hotel early and you get up to 17% off the walk-in price.

For half board and full board, it all comes down to which restaurants you pick. They can pay for themselves if you’re aiming for all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants or table-service restaurants, with full appetizer, main course, and dessert meals. On the other hand, if you mostly eat at quick-service spots or have light meals, the plan may end up costing you more than paying as you go. Run the same math with the new plans.

Here’s what I suggest: ahead of your trip, check the menus and prices at the restaurants on your list, then work out what you’d pay with a plan and without one. On a tight budget? My guide to eating on a budget at Disneyland Paris is worth a look too.

The table below applies if you arrive by March 31, 2027. For an arrival in April 2027 or later, see what each new option includes.

Breakfast is served at your Disney hotel. A few park and Disney Village restaurants that serve breakfast also take your voucher, up to its value.

At lunch and dinner, every restaurant in both parks (Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World) is an option, along with every Disney hotel restaurant and some Disney Village spots. The main ones are listed below by category. My guide to the best restaurants at Disneyland Paris covers them in depth. Arriving from April 2027? Go back up to the restaurants on the new meal plans.

At Disney Village, a few restaurants take the meal plans, including The Steakhouse and La Grange at Billy Bob’s. With the Village under construction, several places are closed or being redone: be sure to check what’s open right now before you book.

You can also use the plans at most quick-service counters and snack stands in the parks, such as Casey’s Corner, Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, Pizzeria Bella Notte, or Toad Hall. With Extra Plus, you grab your afternoon snack at most of the park’s snack spots (ice cream stands, pastry shops, cafés) and at a few restaurants. Disneyland Paris keeps the complete, current list on its official website.

You only get character meals on Extra Plus (one per stay) and Premium (as many as your vouchers cover). Standard and Plus don’t include them, though a voucher plus an extra fee gets you in. These meals take place at Auberge de Cendrillon, The Regal View Restaurant, Royal Banquet, and La Table de Lumière, the last two being inside the Disneyland Hotel. Starting with April 2027 arrivals, character lunches and dinners come only with Royal, an option limited to Disneyland Hotel guests. For all the details, see character dining.

For arrivals from April 2027, the new meal plan guide is silent on the following points.
