Hi Kevin,
Thanks for posting your question about using
Disney Dining Plan credits at
Disney Springs to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
For the most part, the answer to your question is "yes." You may redeem entitlements associated with your Disney Dining Plan at
the multitude of restaurants at Disney Springs. However, there are a few exceptions. Let me explain how you can check to see if a specific restaurant accepts Disney Dining Plan credits as payment.
Over spring break, my family and I had a wonderful meal at
Frontera Cocina. You'll notice on the right side of their page on the Walt Disney World Resort website, the phrase "Some Dining Plans Accepted" appears. Click on that phrase and you'll see that this dining establishment will accept one table-service credit per meal from the Disney Dining Plan and Disney Deluxe Dining Plan.
By contrast,
Sprinkles, the amazing gourmet cupcake bakery, does not accept Disney Dining Plan entitlements. The right side of their webpage says, "Dining Plans Not Accepted."
If you are having difficulty getting a definitive answer regarding whether a specific restaurant at Disney Springs participates in the Disney Dining Plan, simply post a follow-up question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and my friends and I will be happy to help you figure it out. We love to discuss all the fabulous dining options at Walt Disney World Resort.
Bon appétit,
Jill
