Hello, Dawn!
Of course I'll share this "secret" with anyone who wants to hear it!
A few years ago, we accidentally discovered that, because we had booked the Fantasmic! Meal Experience for dinner at Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, and were using our Dining Plan to pay for it, we were
each entitled to an
appetizer along with our usual non-alcoholic beverage, entree and dessert. We've used this package / Dining Plan combination exclusively as often as possible, because we much prefer appetizers to dessert; our most recent visit was this past October, and the appetizers were still included in the deal.
While I'm sure this information is "out there," it's just one of those things that I think many folks don't know about. If there is a Fantasmic! Meal Experience available during your trip, you might want to rebook that dinner for Mama Melrose as the
Fantasmic! Meal Experience. Booking that Meal Experience as a dinner won't cost you anything extra, you'll gain those great appetizers and your VIP vouchers for reserved seating at Fantasmic! It's a win-win-win!
Hope this helps! Be sure to send any additional questions as you think of them! I love to help!
