Disney Just Raised Prices at 8 More Restaurants — Here's Exactly How Much More You'll Pay
If you’ve been putting off finalizing your Disney World dining reservations, here’s the nudge you didn’t want: eight restaurants across the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs just got more expensive this week.
According to The Disney Food Blog, the price increases took effect mid-March 2026 and span a wide range of dining options — from a beloved Magic Kingdom classic to theme-park-adjacent chains that are staples for many family itineraries. Some increases are modest. Others, particularly for families with young kids, are going to sting.
Here is the full breakdown of what changed, and what it means for your next Disney World vacation.
The 8 Restaurants That Just Got More Expensive
Plaza Restaurant (Magic Kingdom)
The Plaza Restaurant sits at the end of Main Street U.S.A. and has been a favorite for guests seeking a sit-down lunch or dinner without a lengthy walk away from the hub. It is one of the few full-service spots inside the park that doesn’t require a major time investment to reach.
The price increase here is targeted but noticeable: the Chipotle Barbecue Pork Sandwich jumped from $17 to $19 — a $2 increase on one of the menu’s most popular items. That may not sound catastrophic in isolation, but at a restaurant where the average entree already hovers around $20-$25, it continues a steady upward trajectory.
T-Rex Cafe (Disney Springs)
T-Rex is a crowd-pleaser, especially for families with kids who are obsessed with dinosaurs and don’t particularly care about prix fixe menus. But the price increases this week affect items across the board:
- Bronto Burger: $19.99 → $20.49
- New York Strip: $44.99 → $46.29
- Triassic Trio: $39.99 → $40.99
The per-item increases are in the $1-$1.30 range, but they add up fast for a family ordering multiple entrees and appetizers. A dinner for four at T-Rex that cost $120 in entrees alone last month is now closer to $125.
Rainforest Cafe (Animal Kingdom & Disney Springs)
Rainforest Cafe operates two locations at Disney World — one at the entrance to Animal Kingdom, one at Disney Springs — and both are now pricier after this week’s update:
- Awesome Appetizer Adventure (For Four): $26.99 → $27.79
- Treetop Filet: $49.99 → $51.29
- Primal Steak: $44.99 → $46.29
The steak increases ($1.30 per item) are consistent with what we’ve been seeing across mid-tier Disney dining venues throughout early 2026. The appetizer sampler increase is smaller but still moves the needle on an item specifically designed for budget-conscious families trying to share.
Planet Hollywood (Disney Springs)
This is the one that deserves a second look, because buried among the usual incremental price bumps is a change that will hit parents hard.
Kids’ meals at Planet Hollywood jumped from $9.99 to $12.99 across the board. That is a $3 increase — or roughly 30% — on every single children’s option in one move. For families with two or three young kids ordering off the kids’ menu, that’s an additional $6-$9 added to the bill before you’ve touched a single adult entree.
The Turkey Pic-A-Nic sandwich also climbed from $19.99 to $21.99 on the adult menu.
Trattoria al Forno (BoardWalk Inn)
Trattoria al Forno is one of the hidden gems of Disney World resort dining — an Italian restaurant on the BoardWalk that serves a genuinely solid breakfast (including the popular Boathouse Breakfast with Mickey waffles) and a dinner menu that punches above its price point.
Specific price changes at Trattoria were not broken out in granular detail, but the restaurant is confirmed as one of the eight locations with upward menu adjustments this week.
Maya Grill (Coronado Springs Resort)
Maya Grill is an interesting entry on this list because it actually bucked the trend on one item: the Taco Salad dropped from $28 to $20, a rare price decrease worth noting. However, other items at the Coronado Springs Resort restaurant did see increases, keeping it on the list of overall upward price movement for the week.
Cafe Rix (Coronado Springs Resort)
Cafe Rix is a quick-service spot at Coronado Springs, and its increases are small but telling:
- Frappe: $6.39 → $7.50
- Smoothie: $7.39 → $7.50
An $1.11 jump on a frappe is a meaningful percentage increase for a quick-service beverage. Coronado Springs guests who rely on Cafe Rix for morning coffee runs are going to feel this one over a multi-day stay.
Sunshine Seasons (EPCOT)
Sunshine Seasons in the Land Pavilion at EPCOT rounds out the list. Specific item breakdowns weren’t detailed in the source report, but the quick-service location — one of the most popular in EPCOT thanks to its variety and proximity to Soarin’ and Living with the Land — joins the others in seeing menu prices move upward this week.
What’s Actually Going On Here?
None of these price changes happened in a vacuum. Disney World has been on a steady upward pricing trajectory across its dining portfolio throughout 2025 and into 2026, and these mid-March updates are consistent with that pattern.
The increases follow a wave of menu changes that have swept through Disney World dining venues over the past several weeks — including the overhaul at Tiffins, new items appearing across EPCOT festival booths, and ongoing Dining Plan recalibrations. Disney appears to be using a rolling approach to price adjustments rather than a single annual reset, which means guests checking menus even a few weeks apart may find prices have shifted.
The Planet Hollywood kids’ meal increase stands out as particularly aggressive. A 30% jump on children’s meals isn’t a tweak — it’s a signal that even the family-friendly price anchors that Disney dining has historically maintained are no longer off-limits for revision.
What This Means for Your Trip
If you have existing Advance Dining Reservations at any of these restaurants, the changes have already taken effect — so when you sit down to order, expect prices to reflect the new numbers.
For anyone still planning future trips, a few practical notes:
Check menus on the My Disney Experience app before you finalize your budget. Menu prices in Disney’s system tend to update quickly after changes go live, and the app is generally the most accurate real-time source.
If you’re using the Disney Dining Plan, most of these restaurants are table-service or quick-service credits, so the per-item increases won’t directly hit your out-of-pocket costs. The Dining Plan’s value calculation does shift slightly as menu prices rise, which is worth keeping in mind if you’re still deciding whether to add the plan to a future booking.
Budget-conscious families should take a close look at the Planet Hollywood kids’ meal change in particular. At $12.99 per child, the restaurant is no longer the budget-friendly option it once was — there are now better value choices at Disney Springs for families with multiple kids.
Our Take
Eight restaurants in one week is a lot. The increases individually range from barely noticeable (50 cents on a burger) to genuinely significant (a 30% jump on kids’ meals), but the cumulative effect on a multi-day Disney World trip is real.
This isn’t a reason to skip these restaurants — many of them remain solid choices for what they offer. But it is a reminder that Disney dining budgets need regular recalibration, and that prices guests remember from previous trips may no longer reflect what they’ll actually pay. Plan accordingly.
