Hi Linda and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I'm glad to see that you are starting to plan your 2017 trip to Walt Disney World already. I always plan all of my family's trips at least 12 months in advance - planning is half the fun, right?
The
Disney Dining Plan includes one (1) Quick-Service meal, one (1) Snack and one (1) Table-Service meal per person, per night of your package stay for everyone in the party ages 3 and over.
As far as Table-Service meals for Lunch or Dinner are concerned, generally speaking, you can choose one (1) Entree, one (1) Dessert and one (1) Non-Alcoholic Beverage
or one (1) Full Buffet.
Choosing items from a separate prix fixe menu (offered at certain locations) does however require payment of a surcharge in addition to redeeming the number of Table-Service entitlements required at the location.
I do hope that this has answered you question Linda and please do not hesitate to ask another question if we can be of any further help with the planning of your trip.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
