Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Susan. We just love it when you stop by with your Disney vacation questions!
I am a big fan of the
Disney Dining Plan. The convenience, flexibility, and value for my family of five can't be beat! Speaking of value, I'm always trying to maximize our meals and snacks when we're using the Disney Dining Plan for our Walt Disney World vacations. I can tell you're on the same mission! You ask a great question about using your Disney Dining Plan Table-Service meals at
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria. In years past, an Individual Pizza at Via Napoli counted as one meal for one person. If a party of two ordered a Large Pizza, each person would be charged one Disney Dining Plan meal for that shared pizza. If a party of four ordered a Mezzo Metro Pizza (1/2 Meter), each person in the party of four would be charged one meal. My best advice is to chat with your Server at Via Napoli about how you'll be charged for specific menu items using your dining plan, but I would be prepared to use at least one meal per person there.
My favorite way to maximize my dining plan snacks is at the theme park Starbucks locations. This mama of three needs caffeine to fuel our theme park days! My usual Starbucks order at home is a Grande Iced Latte, but a Venti-size qualifies as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan, so you can bet I ask for a Venti Iced Latte!
I hope this was helpful, Susan. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your next
Walt Disney World Resort vacation! We're always happy to help.
