What is signature dining?
Disney Signature Dining is the property's official tier of premium restaurants, sitting above standard table service and below ultra-premium fine dining.
- Higher-quality ingredients and more attentive service than standard dining
- Smart casual dress codes enforced
- Signature designation costs 2 table-service credits on the Disney Dining Plan
- Includes Le Cellier, Jiko, Citricos, Flying Fish, Yachtsman Steakhouse
- Bridges casual Disney dining and Victoria & Albert's-tier ultra-premium
Signature Dining is Disney's curated middle-premium tier. These restaurants feature sommelier-curated wine programs, chef-driven menus, and refined atmospheres without the formality (or price tag) of Victoria & Albert's. The tier is the sweet spot for guests who want an upscale meal that still feels like a Disney experience.
Where to find signature dining at Walt Disney World
Signature restaurants span EPCOT, Animal Kingdom Lodge, the BoardWalk, the Yacht Club, and the Grand Floridian.
- EPCOT: Le Cellier in the Canada Pavilion
- Animal Kingdom Lodge: Jiko, with African-inspired wood-fired cuisine
- Grand Floridian: Citricos with Mediterranean-leaning menu
- BoardWalk Inn: Flying Fish with seafood-forward modern American
- Yacht Club: Yachtsman Steakhouse with USDA Prime cuts
Most signature restaurants are at resorts rather than inside the parks. The exception is Le Cellier in EPCOT's Canada Pavilion, which is consistently among the hardest signature reservations. Resort-based options are accessible without park admission, which works well for arrival or departure days.

What does signature dining cost?
Signature dining runs $55 to $85 per adult for entrees, with full dinners typically $90 to $150 per person before drinks.
- Entrees: $55 to $85 per adult
- Full dinner with appetizer and dessert: $90 to $150 per person
- Le Cellier filet mignon: approximately $67
- Jiko entrees: $45 to $75
- Wine pairings: $30 to $60 per person
Lunch menus at signature restaurants often run 20 to 30% less than dinner for comparable food quality and the same atmosphere. This is a popular strategy for guests who want the signature experience at a lower commitment. Tax and gratuity are additional; Disney does not include service in the menu pricing.
Tips for Booking Signature Dining Restaurants
Le Cellier is the hardest signature reservation; the others are competitive but more accessible than character or fireworks dining.
- Le Cellier dinner is among the hardest reservations to secure
- Le Cellier lunch tends to be easier to book than dinner
- Tuesday through Wednesday dinners are easiest across the tier
- Cancellation alerts catch openings 2 to 4 days before reservation dates
- Jiko, Citricos, and Yachtsman tend to have wider availability than Le Cellier
Le Cellier's small dining room and its iconic cheddar cheese soup drive demand that significantly outpaces other signature restaurants. For non-Le-Cellier signature dining, the booking window typically holds for 2 to 4 weeks. Lunch is the most overlooked path: same menu quality at lower prices and significantly easier reservations.
