Hi Jessica! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
You are just days away from your magical vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort. It sounds like you have chosen a Disney Dining Plan for your visit and I think you will love it! It is so great knowing that your meals are already paid for in advance, so you only have to budget for any extra items that you would like. What a relief!
With the
Disney Dining Plans, there is not a dollar amount attached to the meals that you order. However, some locations will have items that are excluded from the dining plans. The good news is that these excluded items are very limited, and you will find that most meals are included with the dining plans! I encourage you to ask the Cast Member assisting you with your order what is included with your dining plan and they can point out any items that aren't covered. Trust me, you will be very satisfied with the amount of food you get with the dining plan!
You can always tell what items on the menus are considered a snack entitlement on the Disney Dining Plans by looking for the special dining plan symbol next to items. These items range from Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Bars at the ice cream vendors, to food items at the
Epcot International Festival of the Arts kiosks, to the Warm Cinnamon Roll at
Gaston's Tavern. There are a LOT of delicious snack options!
I hope this information helps with your planning, Jessica! Please let us know if you have any other questions. Happy dining!
