Hi Mary!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I love to use the Disney Dining Plan every time I visit Walt Disney World Resort, for the value it offers across the theme parks, the Disney Resort hotels and select locations at Disney Springs. The good news is that you can use it when enjoying the Dining Packages for both Fantasmic! at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Rivers of Light: We are One at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park. When making your dining reservations for these packages, please ensure you make the booking through the Dining Package, not just at the restaurant for a stand-alone reservation. For the
Fantasmic! Dining Package at
Hollywood & Vine, you will be required to use 1 Table-Service credit per Guest. For the
Rivers of Light: We are One Dining Package at
Tusker House Restaurant, this also requires 1 Table-Service credit per Guest. You will enjoy 1 entree, 1 dessert (or a full buffet where offered), and 1 drink, and when making your dining reservation (online, or by using your My Disney Experience account), you do not need to indicate whether or not you are using the Disney Dining Plan - your server will ask you this when you are seated at your table.
The other restaurants that are Dining Plan eligible and can be selected for the Dining Packages are:
For Fantasmic!: The Hollywood Brown Derby (2 Table-Service credits); Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano (1 Table-Service credit),
and for Rivers of Light: Tiffins (2 Table-Service credits).
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort.
