In this episode of the Disney Hour Express Podcast, hosts Abbie and Rob deliver a complete, in-depth guide to using the 2025 Disney Dining Plan at EPCOT. As the final part of their four-part dining series, this episode focuses entirely on how to maximize your Disney Dining Plan at EPCOT’s table service and quick service restaurants, helping travelers plan smarter, eat better, and get the most value out of every dining credit.

Listeners will learn how the Disney Dining Plan works at EPCOT, including the differences between the Quick Service and Standard Dining Plans, what’s included with each meal or snack credit, and why understanding your plan can save time and money.

They highlight which restaurants accept the dining plan, which ones require two credits, and which locations, like Space 220 and Takumi Tei, do not participate in the plan at all.

The episode also features a full review of EPCOT’s best quick service options, including Connections Eatery, Regal Eagle Smokehouse, and La Cantina de San Angel. Rob and Abbie share their personal experiences and expert insights on where to eat, what to order, and how to find the best snacks that qualify for the Disney Dining Plan.
