Hi Alexis,
Your magical
holiday visit to the Walt Disney World Resort will be here before you know it, and I hope you're having fun anticipating all of the wonderful experiences you'll enjoy on your trip, including the food! Mmm...the FOOD! From Mickey-shaped goodness to
character meals to
cuisines that will please any palate, the food is definitely one of my favorite parts about a Disney vacation!
You'll LOVE having one of the
Disney Dining Plans. With all of your food paid for ahead of time, you can just enjoy trying new foods and ordering exactly what you want, without worrying about your budget. I'm happy to let you know that you'll receive your dining entitlements based on the nights of your
Disney Resort hotel stay, so for a five-night stay with the classic
Disney Dining Plan, you'll receive five Quick-Service meals, five Table-Service meals, and 10 snacks per person, plus a refillable mug as soon as you check in. You'll be able to use your dining entitlements however they work best for you throughout the entire length of your stay. If you want to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner one day using your entitlements, and enjoy a large brunch at
The Crystal Palace the next day with a couple of Mickey pretzels for snacks in the early evening, you'll be able to do so! Your entitlements will be valid through midnight following your check-out, so enjoy the flexibility to use them however you'd like. My family often ends up with some leftover snack entitlements that we didn't use, so we love to bring home some pre-packaged snacks as souvenirs. There are lots of great snack-credit options located at multiple retail locations, but my favorites are some of the Goofy's Candy Company snacks and the Mickey Rice Krispie Treats. Mmm...
Thanks so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Alexis, and please come see us again if we can help with anything else. I hope that you have a truly magical...and
delicious...vacation!
Missy
