Hi Debra,
In 2012, many restaurants located in the Downtown Disney area were added to the list of participating restaurants in the Disney Dining Plan.
Although the following Table-Service Restaurants have participated in the 2012 Disney Dining Plan:- Bongos Cuban Cafe, Cap’n Jack’s Restaurant, House of Blues, Paradiso 37,
Planet Hollywood, Portobello, Raglan Road,Irish Pub and Restaurant,
Rainforest Cafe, T-REX Cafe & Wolfgang Puck Cafe (first floor only), Cap'n Jack's Restaurant is the only one listed in the current version of the 2013 Disney Dining Plan brochure.
At this moment in time, there are many restaurants which normally
participate in the Disney Dining Plan which have not been added to the
online
2013 Disney Dining Plan brochure.
Each individual non-Disney operated dining location has until the end of
the year to decide whether or not they would like to participate in and
be included on the Disney Dining Plan the following year. The 2013
brochure which you can see on the Walt Disney World website right now,
lists most of the participating dining locations for 2013....but not all
of them!
I would say that there is a good chance that any restaurant which
participates in the 2012 Disney Dining Plan will be added as a
participating dining location in the 2013 Disney Dining Plan at some
point between now and the start of next year and would suggest that you
keep your eyes peeled and check the Walt Disney World website
periodically between now and then to see if the brochure has been
updated.
Wishing you a magical trip filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
