Welcome to planDisney, Hannah!
I’m so happy to see you get to celebrate the New Year with a visit to Walt Disney World Resort. And with a
Disney Dining Plan? That’s even better!
My family loves visiting with a dining plan. We’ve used both
Quick-Service and the
Disney Dining Plan. Both are great, we just bounce between the two options depending on the length of our visit and what we want to do. For example, in the summer, we go with the Disney Dining Plan. That way, we can enjoy one sit-down, air-conditioned meal a day. It’s the perfect way to escape the heat for a little bit.
Based on my experience with the dining plan, the answer is yes. If the restaurant you select says that it accepts the dining plan you have, you are good to go. As a natural worrier myself, I like to lead my order with, “I am using a dining plan.” So that the Cast Member knows how I will be ordering. They are fantastic at answering additional questions or adding recommendations to what qualifies towards your credits. Overall, I haven’t found any entrees that haven’t qualified as a credit option, subject to change. I do know souvenir cups and things like glow cubes aren't eligible to use as a credit, but other than that, most meal options are.
Some of my favorite Quick Service locations include
Casey’s Corner,
Flame Tree Barbecue, and
Satu’li Canteen. And of course, the quick-service location inside my resort for that late-night, post-park snack, or meal.
Hannah, I hope this helps answer your question. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. In the meantime, happy planning!
Enjoy,
Shantel
