Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us this great question.
You will absolutely LOVE the flexibility of using the
Disney Dining Plan! I think you scored some truly fabulous dining reservations at
Biergarten Restaurant and
Tusker House Restaurant. Kudos to you!
In my experience buffets and family-style meals at the Walt Disney World Resort are all-you-care-to-enjoy culinary experiences. You may be able to eat as much as you wish during that
one meal at each of those restaurants. If you are concerned about the dining plan policy which states that you are entitled to "One (1) Full Buffet or Family-Style Meal," I believe it is in place to prevent one of the following scenarios from occurring: (1) guests wishing to stay for multiple meals at the same restaurant, or (2) to deter guests from coming back during the day at a later time. Furthermore, you won't be allowed to take additional servings with you at the conclusion of the meal. However, you may certainly go back through the buffet as many times as you wish while you are dining there.
Disney Mom Tip: Don't forget to take pictures with Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy at Tusker House Restaurant.
Wishing you an
unforgettable vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Ritzy ºOº
