    I am a DVC member, have never purchased the dining plan, I we eat out most nights of our trip, is it worth it?

    Welcome Home, Christine!

    Thanks for stoppin' by with your great question about one of my favorite topics, dining at Walt Disney World Resort!

    As Disney Vacation Club Members, we have the opportunity to add the Disney Dining Plan to any of our reservations, a benefit which I use often. In order to decide if the Disney Dining Plan is right for you, there are a few things to consider. 

    You mentioned that you do eat often at the unique and exciting restaurants located throughout the property on your vacation. Keeping in mind my favorite vacation advice, that calories don't count at Walt Disney World Resort, do you enjoy dessert a dessert at most of your meals? Also, do you enjoy character meals frequently? Finally, do you find yourself selecting your meal based on the best value rather than what you truly would love to enjoy? If so, these are excellent reasons to add the Disney Dining Plan to your next Disney Vacation Club Resort reservation.

    If you find that you would rather share a meal, snack often, enjoy frequent appetizers or appreciate ad alcoholic beverage with your meal rather than a soft drink, this vacation might not be ideal for this type of enhancement.

    Did you know that as a Disney Vacation Club Member, you are also eligible to join Tables In Wonderland? With this, you are entitled to a 20% discount at most table service locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort for up to 10-people! That is a discount off of the entire bill regardless of what you order, so it does offer a little more freedom of choice. Tables in Wonderland Cards are available at any Guest Relations locations for the current price of $150, and are valid for one year from purchase. 

    Please let us know if you have any other questions as you make this big decision!

    Wishing you many magical memories,

    Sally
