Hi there, Jenny!
The
Disney Dining Plan is pretty straightforward about making sure Guests receive the entitlements they've paid to enjoy. You're going to have to use those Table Service credits for the sit-down restaurants on Disney property.
But you do not have to order much; once you are seated, you can work with your server to determine a series of menu items that will both be covered acceptably by the Plan and will not leave you overfull.
And you can always "burn through" table service credits by enjoying character dining or dinner shows, like the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
Remember,too, that many of the snack items are Disney-branded, bagged and sealed (pretzels, chips, etc.). These can make great little gifts for friends back home, in-room snacks, goodies for the trip home, etc.
Have a wonderful trip!
See you later, celebrator,
