Welcome back to planDisney, Kayleigh!
I'm super excited to see the return of Disney dining plans at The Most Magical Place on Earth. These prepaid meals take all of your worries away because you'll simply show your Disney Band or other Resort ID to your server and track your credits in the My Disney Experience App or receipts. It's the epitome of Hakuna Matata, a phrase you'll hear a lot at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
I was introduced to
Nomad Lounge last year, and I have no idea how I've missed this gem of a lounge over the years. It's a must-do for when my friends visit me here in Florida. And you must try the churros!
Many lounges at Walt Disney World Resort do accept the Disney Dining Plan. Check out the
list of participating restaurants on the Walt Disney World Resort website. You can redeem one table service meal at restaurants like Nomad Lounge. Most of these lounges have small plates or appetizers instead of entrees, and many have no desserts that usually round out the credit. So, at Nomad Lounge, you'll be able to order a small plate and a drink. At the moment, specialty drinks are not included (only standard alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages), so double check with your server before you order.
Kayleigh, if you have any other questions or need suggestions for your upcoming vacation, just
give us a holler at planDisney. Any of us would be more than happy to help. Kwaheri!
Magic always,
LeAndra
