Hi Karen!
I'm excited to hear that you are considering adding one of the
Disney dining plans to your upcoming
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! The dining plans are a great addition to your trip because it's so nice to be able to enjoy incredible dining experiences without having to worry about the cost of each individual meal because you've paid the majority of your dining expenses in advance.
When you add a dining plan to your Walt Disney World Resort vacation, your dining entitlements are based on your Disney Resort hotel reservation. You will receive one set of dining entitlements for each person on your reservation per night of your reservation. So if you will be staying at one of the Disney Resort hotels for ten nights, then you will receive ten sets of dining entitlements for each person on your reservation, based on the specific dining plan you choose. Or, if you are visiting for ten days and nine nights, you will receive nine sets of dining entitlements per person.
One of the best things about the dining plans is that you have flexibility in how you use your plan and you aren't required to use one set of dining entitlements on each day of your trip! So if you would like to spend a day in the theme parks enjoying all quick service dining and save table service entitlements for a relaxing day enjoying your Disney Resort hotel, you are free to do that.
Be sure to download the
My Disney Experience mobile app because it's the easiest way to track your dining entitlements during your vacation. Also, feel free to come back to see us if you have additional questions! T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
