Welcome to planDisney. It's so nice to virtually meet you!
Some of my favorite dining options at the resort are
lounges and pool bars, and
Banana Cabana is on my list to try out! It's supposed to have a great atmosphere, wonderful service, and some tasty bites. I hear some great things about their Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding, so I
definitely have to get there! Even though it's not listed on their
online menu, it is usually available, so be sure to ask your server if it's being served on the day of your visit. But even if it isn't, just
look at that menu! It's small but mighty. I hope you enjoy your visit!
At this time, Banana Cabana at
Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort does not appear to be a part of the
dining plans at the resort. While it does come up for the
2024 Disney Dining Plan when I filter that way, when you visit the actual restaurant page, it does not have a "View Dining Plans and Discounts" link. This is where it would give you information on whether it's included in a plan, which plans it's included in, and how many meals you'd need to redeem to dine there using your dining plan. Furthermore, I confirmed with a friendly Cast Member that it's not included at this time. However, offerings are always subject to change, so you'll want to check the site closer to your arrival date and ask a Cast Member at the restaurant when you arrive.
To check for restaurants that
are available on your dining plan, you can go to the "
All Dining" page, click "All Filters" to the right, and select your dining plan. This will let you know which restaurants are included in your plan at the time you are looking. When you get to each restaurant's page, click that "View Dining Plans and Discounts" link, and it should give you more information. This is a great way to help determine where you'll be dining on your trip and assist in making your
advanced dining reservations. Remember, if you're staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you can make your dining reservations for your entire vacation (up to 10 days) starting at 6 a.m. EST, 60 days before your arrival date. All other Guests can make these reservations 60 days before each day they'd like to dine.
Carol, happy dining. And if you try the bread pudding, please let me know your thoughts! If you have any other questions,
I'd be happy to answer them!
What a soft shell I'm turning out to be,
Matt
