Disney offers approximately 25 signature dining locations among the resorts, theme parks, and Disney Springs. Below, we’ll discuss what you need to know about these locations.

Questions about Disney Signature Dining

Here are a few questions you might have regarding fine dining experiences at Walt Disney World.

What is signature dining? Simply put, signature dining is fine dining or fancy restaurants. We’re talking about five-star restaurants. Signature dining also translates to expensive, so make sure you preview the menus before making that reservation.

Do signature dining restaurants have a dress code? Yes, you’ll want to adhere to the following general requirements.

• For men: Khakis, Slacks, Jeans, or Dress Shorts with Collared Shirts. Sports Coats are optional.
• For women: Capris, Pants, Skirts, Dresses, Jeans, or Dress Shorts
• Not Allowed: Tank Tops, Swim Suits, Swim Suit Cover-Ups, Hats for Gentlemen, Cut-offs, Torn Clothes, no T-shirts with offensive language or graphics, Flip-Flops

Keep in mind that this is Disney World. It’s not uncommon to see guests dressed casually. However, you will probably also see guests dressed to the nines.

Is signature dining available on the Disney Dining Plan? Guests using the Disney Dining Plan can redeem two table service restaurant credits for one meal at participating restaurants. Table service credits at brunch, lunch, or dinner include the choice of an entree, dessert, and beverage (including an alcoholic beverage, to those applicable). As a whole, the Disney Dining plan includes:

• 1 Quick-Service Meal (per night of your stay)
• 1 Table-Service Meal (per night of your stay)
• 1 Snack or Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of your stay)
• 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug (per person)

We recommended saving a few dining credits to exchange for a signature dining experience. For example, you might enjoy breakfast in your room for a couple of days or split a counter-service meal with someone in your group instead of using a table-service credit.

Do I need reservations for signature dining?

Yes. It is rare to find seating at a signature restaurant without advanced dining reservations. Therefore, as soon as your reservation window opens, it is best to secure any desired dining reservation immediately.
