Hey Donna, welcome to planDisney! It's awesome to hear from you. Thanks for sending your first question. I'm super excited to chat about my absolute favorite topic at the
Walt Disney World Resort: food!
The
Disney Dining Plan is a fantastic way to plan your family meals without stressing about budgeting for each and every meal. It's especially great for saving some money when traveling with kids, making sure they're happy and well-fed. And an extra perk is that taxes for all your meals are included with your Disney Dining Plan. So, no surprises there!
Just a friendly heads up - gratuities are not included at table service restaurants. However, for parties of 6 or more, an 18% gratuity will be added to your bill automatically. There are a few exceptions to this rule, where gratuities will be included with your Disney Dining Plan, such as at
Cinderella's Royal Table and
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
If you're on the hunt for an incredible and one-of-a-kind dining experience, I just had the most amazing time at
Tiffins Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It was like taking a culinary trip around the world with a special nod to African flavors. I absolutely adored the Tamarind-braised Short Rib and the Passion Fruit Tapioca Crème – they were truly unforgettable. I can't stop thinking about my next visit to this magical and adventurous place!
Donna, I really hope this information is useful for you. Remember, we're always here to help,
