Hi Mabevei
 
Like everyone said they mean exactly the same. 
 
Dislike is the antonym of like and is really only used in formal speech.  We generally don�t use it day to day.
 
Don�t like is the negative form of like and this is the form that most people commonly use in their everyday conversation.
 
Cheers -- Jayho
