Hi there, Janice, and welcome back to planDisney! I'm just thrilled that we've become your trusted source for Walt Disney World Resort information! As you know, my Panelist pals and I are here and oh-so-happy to help Guests like you plan practically perfect vacations!
Janice, you'll be happy to know that I'm a huge fan of dining plans at Walt Disney World Resort, and I love to chat about the ins and outs of dining plan details. It's awesome that you're going to be able to take advantage of the savings and convenience of the Disney Dining Plan during your upcoming vacation!
When you're using the
Disney Dining Plan, you'll want to chat with your Server about what is included and available at that particular dining location at the time of your visit. A table service meal includes an entree, dessert, and beverage, so you'll want to plan on sticking to that format for your meals. You're typically welcome to share a table service meal when it's not a buffet, and again, you'll want to check with your Server to see what your options would be at each dining location, since each is unique and special.
Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria at
EPCOT is an interesting situation because of the large, shareable nature of some of the pizzas that were designed to be enjoyed by multiple Guests. My dear friend and fellow Panelist
Ashley P. did some research about this that
you can read here - she found that if a party of two orders a Large Pizza, it would require two meals from the Disney Dining Plan.
Since the return of dining plans earlier this year, we've learned so much about what's included, how to get lots of bang for your buck, and where to find even more amazing snacks and meals. If you'd like recommendations on where to find delicious food and beverages, you have a friend in me! Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you continue to plan your vacation.
Bon appetit!
Jennifer
