Hello again, Lynne! Thanks for bringing more great questions to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You've got exciting things in store for you since you're staying at Disney's Art of Animation Resort and using the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. There are so many tasty treats to enjoy!
Dining at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is some of the best Quick-Service eats on Walt Disney World Resort property.
Landscape of Flavors offers a wide range of choices and is sure to not only satisfy the taste buds of each person in your family, but also keep you coming back to try more options! You do not need a reservation at this location since it is Quick-Service. Should you decide to dine in Table-Service restaurants in the theme parks or other Disney Resort hotels, you will need reservations.
Character Dining is included as one Table-Service entitlement on the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. There are a few exceptions to this, like Cinderella's Royal Table where you need two Table-Service entitlements. You can check how many dining plan entitlements are required for each meal by going to each restaurant's page on the
Walt Disney World website and clicking "Some Dining Plans Accepted" on the right side of the page.
Each Walt Disney World restaurant has its own cancellation policy, but they all require advance notice. You have to use a credit card to reserve your table, but it is not charged unless you do not show up for the reservation. In most cases, you must cancel at least one day prior to avoid the cancellation fee.
I hope this helps!
