Hi Natasha,
The
Disney Dining Plan definitely makes planning for your meals completely worry-free! You'll love knowing that your meals, snacks, and drinks are already covered and you can just relax and enjoy all of the delicious options all around the Walt Disney World Resort!
I'm happy to share with you this
PDF that shows which restaurants are included in the 2018 Disney Dining Plan. I think you'll be happy to see that lots of Disney Springs restaurants are included, including
T-REX and
Rainforest Cafe, which are both so much fun!
Did you know that your dining entitlements will all be available at check-in and can be used however and whenever they work best during your stay? Just be sure to use all of them by midnight on the day of your check-out or else you'll lose them, and that surely wouldn't be very magical! If you end up with snack credits leftover, I suggest using them to purchase a variety of prepackaged snacks available at most retail locations and taking home a bit of Disney fun with you! Just look for the little purple and white checkered square, which will let you know it's an eligible snack item.
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Natasha, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're planning your trip! I hope that you have a truly magical...and delicious...vacation!
Missy
