Hi Allison,
Thank you for visiting us at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel. A few months away for your vacation, but it will be here in no time. So start packing soon!
My family likes the
Disney Dining Plans because it gives us the flexibility of prepaying for our meals and not have to worry about how much we will need to spend on food. For 2017, you can substitute a Quick-Service meal entitlement for two Snacks, at any Quick-Service restaurant or Snack locations. Unfortunately, you cannot make it the other way around. We typically use our Snacks for a light breakfast, have a Quick-Service meal for lunch, and have a nice family dinner at one of the many Table-Service restaurants.
For any dining reservation, I always recommend trying to arrive about 15 minutes early. For an early morning breakfast at
Magic Kingdom Park before opening, I suggest you plan on arriving the Theme Park 20 minutes earlier, so you can walk all the way to the restaurant.
Be Our Guest Restaurant is one of my favorite, and I am sure Beast will have his Castle ready for you!
One last tip: remember that many Guests change or cancel their dining reservations up to a few days before arrival. This makes it easy to grab a last minute reservation. And the
My Disney Experience mobile app will make this a breeze. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
