Hey, Kristin! How great to find your question on the panel today! We are glad you have stopped by.
No trip ever happens without us adding the
dining plan to our package. My youngest son loves choosing his food on his own, walking up to the counter and tapping his
MagicBand to pay for his meal; he says it makes him feel like a grown-up! He loves that now we get to see how many credits we have left on the
My Disney Experience app; it's so convenient!
You can certainly eat breakfast at your
Disney resort. If you would like to eat at a quick service location, you will most likely not need a reservation; however,
if you are hoping to have a sit-down breakfast at a table-service location, you will have to make a reservation. What I normally do is use one of my snack credits for breakfast since my drink is already taken care of (courtesy of my refillable mug) and I perhaps add something extra such as a fruit cup. Snacks you can order for breakfast include whole fruits (apples and bananas usually) or baked goods such as croissants, muffins, brownies, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, donuts, etc. My favorite breakfast snack is the heavenly beignet with dipping sauce, available at
Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory – in
Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter. Popcorn, soft drinks, bottled water, frozen ice cream cups, popsicles, fruit bars, hot chocolate/tea, milk and juice in a bottle/carton, snack bags, they all qualify as snacks on the dining plan.
Kristin, I know you will love the dining plan as much as I do, and will never ever go without it in your future vacations at
Walt Disney World. We hope to see you again on the
Disney Parks Moms Panel. Please do not hesitate to stop by again as many times as you need to! We love to help!
