Disneyland Paris Announces New Meal Plans For 2027: What’s Changing?
Disneyland Paris is changing its meal plans for stays from 1 April 2027, introducing a new system that gives guests more control over how they plan their dining during their visit.
The current Standard, Plus and Premium meal plans will be replaced with four new options called Essential, Extra, Signature and Royal. While the names are changing, the new plans will feel familiar to regular Disneyland Paris visitors, with the biggest difference being the extra flexibility built into the booking process.
Guests will now be able to choose whether they want breakfast included, how many meals they would like each day, and the level of dining experience that matches their Disney Hotel stay.
We have used the current Disneyland Paris meal plans on many of our own trips, including the Standard, Plus and Premium options, and have always found them useful for keeping track of our food budget while staying at a Disney Hotel. The new system looks like a natural step forward, especially for guests who want more choice over how they use their dining budget.
The new meal plans will apply to stays from 1 April 2027 until 31 March 2028. Here is everything you need to know about the changes and what they mean for your next Disneyland Paris holiday.
How The New Disneyland Paris Meal Plans Work
The biggest change with the new Disneyland Paris meal plans is that guests will have more control over what they include in their booking.
Instead of choosing from a fixed meal plan name, the new system lets you build your dining package in three simple steps.
Step 1: Choose Your Breakfast Option
For the first time, guests can choose whether they want breakfast included as part of their meal plan.
You will have three options:
- Breakfast at your Disney Hotel
- Breakfast in the parks or Disney Village
- No breakfast included
This gives guests more flexibility, especially for visitors who prefer a slower morning, want to book a character breakfast separately, or would rather use their budget on lunch and dinner.
Step 2: Choose How Many Meals You Want
You can then decide how many meals you would like included each day.
The options are:
- One meal per day, either lunch or dinner
- Two meals per day, including lunch and dinner
This means guests no longer need to pay for more dining than they are likely to use during their stay.
Step 3: Choose Your Meal Plan Level
The final step is choosing the dining level available with your Disney Hotel.
The four new levels are:
- Essential
- Extra
- Signature
- Royal
Each level includes different restaurants and dining experiences, with the higher tiers offering access to more table service restaurants, buffet options and character dining.
The level you can choose depends on the Disney Hotel you are staying at, making it easier to match your meal plan with your holiday style and budget.
Overall, the new system keeps the idea of a prepaid meal plan but makes it easier to customise. Whether you want a simple option to cover your main meals or a more premium dining experience, you can now choose a plan that better fits your trip.
The New Disneyland Paris Meal Plan Levels Explained
The new Disneyland Paris meal plans are split into four levels: Essential, Extra, Signature and Royal.
Each level is linked to specific Disney Hotels and gives guests access to a different selection of restaurants across the resort. The higher the level, the more dining options are included, with Royal offering access to the widest range of restaurants and character dining experiences.
Essential Meal Plan
The Essential meal plan is available for guests staying at:
Disney Davy Crockett Ranch
Disney Hotel Cheyenne
Disney Hotel Santa Fe
This replaces the current Standard meal plan and is the entry-level option for guests looking for a simple way to pre-plan their meals.
Guests will have access to 18 restaurants, including:
3 table service restaurants
5 buffet restaurants
10 quick service restaurants
Extra Meal Plan
The Extra meal plan is available for guests staying at:
Disney Newport Bay Club
Disney Sequoia Lodge
This replaces the current Plus meal plan and offers a wider selection of dining locations.
Guests will have access to 25 restaurants, including:
6 table service restaurants
9 buffet restaurants
10 quick service restaurants
Signature Meal Plan
The Signature meal plan is available for guests staying at:
Disney Hotel New York: The Art of Marvel
This sits above the Extra option and includes more table service dining choices.
Guests will have access to 30 restaurants, including:
10 table service restaurants
10 buffet restaurants
10 quick service restaurants
Royal Meal Plan
The Royal meal plan is available for guests staying at:
Disneyland Hotel
This replaces the current Premium meal plan and is the highest dining level available.
Guests will have access to 34 restaurants, including:
10 table service restaurants
10 buffet restaurants
10 quick service restaurants
4 character dining experiences
The new structure makes it easier to understand which dining options are available with each Disney Hotel. While the names have changed, regular Disneyland Paris visitors will notice that the new levels closely follow the existing Standard, Plus and Premium system, with some adjustments to which hotels sit within each category.
How The New Meal Plans Compare To The Current Disneyland Paris Meal Plans
For guests who have used Disneyland Paris meal plans before, the new system will look familiar, but it is not simply a direct name change.
The current Standard, Plus and Premium meal plans will be replaced by the new Essential, Extra, Signature and Royal options, and we’ve even spotted they are using the same colours in the promotion of the meal plans!
While there are similarities between the old and new levels, Disneyland Paris has redesigned the system to give guests more choice over how they plan their dining.
The closest comparisons are:
Standard to Essential
Plus to Extra
Premium to Royal
The new Signature level is an additional option for guests staying at Disney Hotel New York: The Art of Marvel.
There are also changes to which Disney Hotels sit within each level. For example, Disney Hotel Cheyenne will move into the Essential level alongside Disney Davy Crockett Ranch and Disney Hotel Santa Fe.
Another major difference is the introduction of more flexibility when building your meal plan. Guests can now decide whether they want breakfast included, where they would like to have breakfast, and whether they need one or two meals per day.
This means the new system is less about choosing a fixed package and more about creating a dining option that matches your holiday.
Having used the current Standard, Plus and Premium meal plans ourselves, we think this change makes sense. The biggest improvement is that guests are no longer paying for elements they may not use, while still keeping the convenience of having meals planned and budgeted before arriving at Disneyland Paris.
New Disneyland Paris Meal Plan Prices For 2027

The new pricing structure gives guests more options depending on how much dining they want included during their stay, from a simple meal plan through to a more premium dining experience.
Why Disneyland Paris Has Changed The Meal Plans
The main reason behind the new Disneyland Paris meal plans appears to be giving guests more flexibility over how they use them.
The previous meal plans were based around set packages, with guests choosing between Standard, Plus or Premium depending on their Disney Hotel. The new system allows visitors to make more choices before they arrive, including whether they want breakfast, how many meals they need, and the level of dining experience they would like.
For many guests, this will make it easier to create a meal plan that matches their style of holiday. Some families may want breakfast included each morning, while others may prefer a later start and use their budget for lunch, dinner or character dining instead.
The new plans also provide options for different budgets. Guests staying at the lower-priced Disney Hotels can choose a more affordable meal plan, while those staying at the higher-end hotels have access to a wider selection of restaurants and dining experiences.
Another benefit is having more of your food costs planned before you arrive. We have always found this one of the biggest advantages of using Disneyland Paris meal plans. When staying at a Disney Hotel, having meals already organised makes it easier to manage your holiday budget and avoid wondering how much you will spend each day.
The new system also keeps some useful savings opportunities. Guests who book breakfast before arrival can save up to 17% compared with buying breakfast on site, based on the prices available at the time of publication.
Overall, the biggest change is not necessarily the food included, but the ability to personalise your plan. Guests can choose a dining option that better matches how they actually spend their time at Disneyland Paris.
Things You Need To Know Before Booking The New Disneyland Paris Meal Plans
Before adding a new meal plan to your Disneyland Paris holiday, there are a few important details worth knowing.
Your Meal Vouchers Depend On Your Stay
The number of meal vouchers you receive depends on how many nights you are staying and whether you choose one or two meals per day.
For example, on a three-day, two-night stay, you would receive:
Two meal vouchers per person if you choose one meal per night
Four meal vouchers per person if you choose two meals per night
Your vouchers remain valid throughout your stay, including your final day.
This gives you some flexibility to decide when you want to use your meals rather than having to use them on specific days.
Breakfast Can Be Added Separately
Breakfast is now a choice within the new meal plan system rather than being automatically included.
You can decide whether you want:
Breakfast at your Disney Hotel
Breakfast in Disney Parks or Disney Village
No breakfast included
If you add breakfast before arrival, you can save up to 17% compared with purchasing breakfast on site, based on prices valid at the time of publication.
Extra Dining Experiences Can Still Be Added
The new meal plans also allow guests to add extra experiences to their holiday.
Examples include:
Character dining
Character breakfasts
Birthday cakes
Other special dining experiences
This means you can still personalise your trip, even if you choose a standard meal plan level.
Think About How You Actually Eat At Disneyland Paris
The best meal plan is the one that matches your holiday style.
Before booking, consider:
How many meals you normally have during a Disney day
Whether you like table service restaurants or prefer quick meals
Whether breakfast at the hotel suits your plans
Whether you want to include special experiences such as character dining
The new system gives guests more options, but taking a few minutes to think about your plans before booking will help you choose the option that works best for your visit.
Our First Thoughts On The New Disneyland Paris Meal Plans
We have used the Disneyland Paris meal plans on many of our own visits, including the current Standard, Plus and Premium options, so we understand why they have become a popular choice for guests staying at a Disney Hotel.
For us, the biggest benefit has always been the peace of mind that comes from having meals planned before arriving. It makes budgeting easier and means we can enjoy our time in the parks without constantly thinking about what we are spending on food.
The new meal plan system looks like a positive change because it gives guests more control. The previous plans worked well, but they were based around set options. The ability to choose breakfast separately and decide whether you want one or two meals gives families more freedom to build a package that suits their trip.
We also like that the new levels still keep the idea of matching your dining options with your Disney Hotel. Guests staying at Disney Hotel Santa Fe will have different needs compared with someone staying at Disneyland Hotel, and the new structure reflects those differences.
Of course, the best value will always depend on how you use the plan. Guests who enjoy table service restaurants, buffets or character dining are likely to get more benefit than visitors who prefer quick meals or shorter park days.
Our first impression is that the new Disneyland Paris meal plans are a sensible evolution of the current system. They keep the convenience that regular meal plan users enjoy while giving new visitors more ways to create a dining package that fits their holiday.
