Hi, there!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel again, Nicole. We just love helping you plan your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
You are going to love the
Disney Dining Plan. It's a must-have for my family's Walt Disney World Resort vacations because it's super flexible and convenient! We've found exceptional value in the Disney Dining Plan when using it for
Character Dining Experiences and
Special Dining Events. They're a great way to get the most bang for your buck!
There are only a few dining experiences that require prepayment at the time of booking. These include
Cinderella's Royal Table,
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, and
Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show. If you already have the Disney Dining Plan as part of your Disney Resort Hotel Package, you don't need to worry about your credit card being charged the prepayment requirement if you make dining reservations at these restaurants! When you make your special dining reservations online, you'll still need to enter credit card information just like you would for any other dining reservations. The credit card information is simply used to "hold" the reservation, but your Disney Dining Plan entitlements will magically cover the prepayment requirement! If you'd prefer to make your dining reservations with the help of a friendly Cast Member, simply call (407) 939-1947.
I hope this was helpful, Nicole. Please visit us again soon with any new questions you may have about your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
