Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Martha! I'm so glad you're here with some questions about food, which is definitely my favorite thing to talk about.
My family and I use the
Disney Dining Plan almost every time we travel to Walt Disney World Resort because we love how easy and convenient it is. When you visit a Quick-Service dining location, you can select from anything on the menu to redeem for one of your Quick-Service dining credits. Here's a tip: you can also redeem a Snack credit for an extra side or a dessert with your meal! Snacks will be marked with a purple and white checkerboard logo, but there is not a restriction on which entrées guests on the Disney Dining Plan can order. This comes in really handy if you're like us and there are a lot of things on the menu your family wants to try!
My husband and I are true foodies, and we absolutely love the food at
Disney's Animal Kingdom. Our favorite lunch was always at
Flame Tree Barbecue (we can't get enough of their spicy barbecue sauce!), but once
Satu'li Canteen opened in
Pandora - The World of Avatar we really loved that too and now we want to eat both every time we visit. Since guests can choose from any entrée on the Quick-Service menu, we redeem a Dining Plan credit for the gigantic Ribs, Chicken, and Pulled Pork Sampler and split that between us so we can also use a credit for a Chili-Garlic Shrimp Bowl to share later.
Happy Snacking, Martha!
