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.
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. 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
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
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
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 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 much more than a simple name change.
The current Standard, Plus and Premium meal plans will be replaced by the new Essential, Extra, Signature and Royal options. We’ve even spotted that Disneyland Paris is using the same colours to promote the new meal plan levels!
While there are similarities between the old and new options, Disneyland Paris has redesigned the system to give guests more flexibility when planning their dining.
The closest comparisons are:
- Standard → Essential
- Plus → Extra
- Premium → Royal
The new Signature level is an entirely new addition, sitting between Extra and Royal, giving guests another dining option that wasn’t previously available.
Rather than simply replacing the existing plans, the new system also changes how guests build their meal plan. You’ll now be able to choose whether to include breakfast, decide where you’d like to eat breakfast, and select either one or two meals per day.
This means the new system is less about choosing a fixed package and more about creating a dining plan that suits your holiday and budget. It also allows guests to tailor their meal plan around how they prefer to experience the parks, rather than paying for options they may not use.
Having used the current Standard, Plus and Premium meal plans ourselves, we think this change makes sense. The biggest improvement is the added flexibility, allowing guests to customise their meal plan while still enjoying the convenience of budgeting for meals before they arrive at Disneyland Paris.
New Disneyland Paris Meal Plan Prices For 2027
The new Disneyland Paris meal plans will have different prices depending on the level you choose and whether you include one or two meals per day.
The price also depends on the Disney Hotel you are staying at, as each hotel is linked to a different meal plan level.

One meal per day:
Adults: €32
Children: €16
Two meals per day:
Adults: €60
Children: €30
Extra Meal Plan Prices

Royal Meal Plan Prices

Breakfast Prices
Breakfast is an additional choice within the new system, allowing guests to decide whether they want it included.
For example, guests staying at Disney Sequoia Lodge can choose breakfast in Disney Parks or Disney Village for:
Adults: €14
Children: €14
Or breakfast at their Disney Hotel for:
Adults: €25.50
Children: €20.50
Guests who add breakfast before arrival can save up to 17% compared with purchasing breakfast on site, based on the prices valid at the time of publication.
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 three fixed options: Standard, Plus and Premium. The new system introduces four meal plan levels, Essential, Extra, Signature and Royal, while also allowing guests to customise their plan before they arrive. This includes choosing whether to add breakfast, deciding where to enjoy breakfast, selecting one or two meals per day, and choosing the dining experience that best suits their holiday.
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 additional meal plan level also gives guests more choice than before, with the new Signature option sitting between Extra and Royal. Combined with the ability to customise breakfast and the number of meals, there are now more ways to tailor a dining plan to suit different budgets and holiday styles.
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 a Disneyland Paris meal plan. 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 meal plan. Rather than selecting a one-size-fits-all package, guests can build a dining plan that better reflects how they actually want to experience 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 day
Four meal vouchers per person if you choose two meals per day
Your vouchers remain valid throughout your stay, including your departure day.
This gives you the flexibility to decide when to use your meal vouchers rather than having to use them on specific days.
Breakfast Can Be Added Separately
Breakfast is now an optional part of the new meal plan system rather than being included automatically.
You can choose:
Breakfast at your Disney Hotel
Breakfast in the Disney Parks or Disney Village
No breakfast included
If you add breakfast before you arrive, you can save up to 17% compared with purchasing breakfast on site, based on prices available at the time of publication.
Extra Dining Experiences Can Still Be Added
The new meal plans also allow guests to add extra dining experiences to their holiday.
These include:
Character Dining
Character Breakfasts
Birthday cakes
Other special dining experiences
These optional extras can be added to complement your chosen meal plan and create an even more personalised Disneyland Paris experience.
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 usually eat during a day in the parks
Whether you prefer table service restaurants or quicker dining options
Whether breakfast fits into your plans
Whether you’d like to include special experiences such as Character Dining
The new system offers much more flexibility, but spending a few minutes thinking about how you like to dine will help you choose the meal plan that offers the best value for your visit.
Our First Thoughts On The New Disneyland Paris Meal Plans
We have used 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 such 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 how much we are spending on food.
The new meal plan system looks like a positive step forward because it gives guests much more control over how they build their dining package. While the previous plans worked well, they were based on fixed options. Being able to choose whether to include breakfast, decide where to enjoy it, and select one or two meals per day gives guests far more flexibility to tailor a meal plan to their holiday.
We also welcome the introduction of the new Signature meal plan. Sitting between Extra and Royal, it fills a gap in the previous line-up and provides another option for guests looking for a balance between value and premium dining experiences.
Of course, the best value will always depend on how you use your meal plan. Guests who enjoy table service restaurants, buffets or Character Dining are likely to get more benefit than those who prefer quick-service meals or spend less time in the parks.
Our first impression is that the new Disneyland Paris meal plans are a sensible evolution of the current system. They retain the convenience that existing meal plan users appreciate while giving guests more flexibility to create a dining package that better suits the way they want to experience Disneyland Paris.
