Hey howdy hey, Maurina, and welcome to planDisney! I'm thrilled that you've chosen to stop by our neck of the woods to ask this great question about the Disney Dining Plan. You might already know that planDisney is an amazing resource where you can get advice and learn more about planning your upcoming Disney vacation. What you might not know, is that dining at Disney is quite possibly my favorite topic. Let's dig in!
It sounds like you're looking into removing the
Disney Dining Plan from your vacation package. While I might just be the biggest fan of dining plans, I definitely understand that they aren't everyone's cup of tea. For me, a Disney Dining Plan allows me to plan ahead, take advantage of savings, and have a more all-inclusive type of vacation. If you find that those benefits aren't the ones you're looking for, have no fear. You'll need to hop on a call with a helpful
Cast Member to get the Disney Dining Plan removed from your package.
Now, back to the fun part! You can still experience incredible meals without a dining plan! If you haven't tried it yet,
Sanaa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village is a fantastic restaurant with up-close views of the animals living their best lives on the Savanna. The Indian-style bread service is a must-to for me! Don't forget to grab an
Advance Dining Reservation 60 days before the first day of your vacation, as this restaurant can fill up quickly.
Another one of my favorites is
Topolino's Terrace: Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort. I recently had one of the best brunch experiences there (go for the steak and eggs!). With sweeping views of Walt Disney World Resort and super fun Character interactions, it was a hit with every member of our multi-generational family!
Maurina, I hope you have the very best time during your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World Resort. Please stop back by with any other questions you have as you finalize your plans!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
