It really is one of the most popular questions around the Disney community: Are the Walt Disney World Dining Plans worth it?

Unfortunately, that is a question that only you can answer by sitting down and doing the math for your group. When price increases occur, many folks reconsider the economics of the Disney Dining Plans.

Recently, Disney quietly increased all three Disney Dining Plan prices for the rest of 2013, which means that anyone who books a package from this point on will be paying these increased prices. It also seems that the “seasonal pricing” during peak seasons now no longer applies: prices are the same year-round.

Here is a look at what you can expect when purchasing the Disney Dining Plans as we move forward with the rest of 2013.
