There are several great restaurants at Disney World — trust us, it’s our job to talk about them! It’s even better when you can get those delicious meals at a discounted rate, am I right? However, this one discount at restaurants has become overly complicated, and it might impact your vacation.

Walt Disney World Annual Passholders enjoy the benefits of Disney World dining discounts at several restaurants around the Resort. The discount is usually 10% off food and nonalcoholic beverages. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, making it a little more complicated for Annual Passholders.

Not every dining location at Disney World is eligible for the discount. Quick Service restaurants do not take the discount. But that’s not all, many of the lounges around Disney World do not accept the discount either. For example, Geyser Point Bar & Grill at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort and Tambu Lounge at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort do not accept the discounts.

Some locations will accept the discount, but only at specific times of the day. Chefs de France will only accept the discount before 3PM. Then restaurants like Via Napoli will not apply the discount on New Year’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve.

With so many rules and specific details for each restaurant, it can make using your discount complicated. We wish Disney would simplify the rule for the discount so that it is more uniform. We also understand that some restaurants are run independently, so they are allowed to be more flexible with how they use the discount.

Annual Passholders must show a valid form of identification along with the portion of the My Disney Experience app indicating that they are an Annual Passholder to get these discounts. You can see the steps to find that information on the My Disney Experience app here.
