Hi, Monique!
Thanks so much for sending your question my way!
When I'm reading your dates above, I'm hoping that I'm safe to assume you meant you're staying at Disney's Art of Animation Resort from April 11-13, cruising from the 13th-17th and staying at Disney's Old Key West Resort from the 17th-20th? What a fabulous vacation you have coming up!
Assuming those dates, I think it would make sense to add the
Disney Dining Plan to both of your Resort stays before and after your cruise. It's really nice to have your meals prepaid, especially with such a nice, long vacation! Since they're two separate reservations, you do have the option of only adding the Dining Plan to one reservation or the other.
Since April tends to be a pretty busy month at the Walt Disney World Resort because of Spring Break happening all over the country, I definitely recommend making your
Advanced Dining Reservations for the Table Service locations you want as soon as possible. I also encourage you to take a look at the menus of some of the restaurants you'd like to dine at so you can check out the pricing of what you think you might order and compare it to the pricing of the Dining Plan.
I hope I've helped and that my assumption was correct! Please feel free to send in a follow-up question or two if I can assist you further!
Wishing you a Pixie Dusted vacation!
