Hello, Marie!
You are going to love the
Dining Plan on your trip to Walt Disney World!
When you order at a Quick-Service restaurant, you'll each be able to choose one beverage; we bring our own water into the parks, but sometimes get a resealable beverage whenever possible, so that we can enjoy that drink at a later time (such as back in our room.) The fountain drink cups are very large, so you'll be sure to have plenty to drink at that time (we've never finished one!)
At your Table-Service meal, you'll order your beverage just as you would if paying cash. Similarly, should you finish your iced tea, soda, etc., your server will bring refills regardless of whether or not you're on the Dining Plan.
As you can imagine, this Dining Plan will really be a money-saver as you travel throughout the parks! Be sure to check out the menus of the restaurants at which you'll be dining; most are available right on Walt Disney World.com (You can just enter the name of a restaurant right into the search bar to find a link. Not sure where you'll be eating? Click on "
Where to Eat" which will bring you to a page where you can search by park, resort name, type of dining experience, etc.) We always look to dine in those locations where we'll get the most bang for our Dining Plan dollars. Should there be any menus which you can't find listed on WDW's site, head over to the unofficial site, allears.net; select WDW and Dining to get unofficial reviews, pricing and menu options. YUM!
Have a wonderful trip! Be sure to send more questions as you think of them; we love to help!
