Hi Crystal!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I love using The Disney Dining Plans as they are so convenient and flexible to use, and often provide the opportunity to try different restaurants across the whole of the Walt Disney World Resort, including theme parks, Resort hotels and
Disney Springs. The
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan offers even more flexibility, providing each Guest, per night of stay, three Meals (any), and two Snacks, along with a refillable drink mug which can be refilled at the beverage stations at all Disney Resort hotels. The Disney dining plans are available to Guests of ages 3 and over (those aged between 3-9 can choose from the children's menu, where available) so your two-year-old daughter could share from your adult plate at no extra charge, or you may purchase an additional meal for her from the menu. The price of that meal will be charged to your bill. At this time all Disney dining plans can only be used for Guests under the same Resort Reservation, but you can advise your server that you would like to pay using your dining credits, and your guests will be paying by another method, if you wish.
It's worth noting that Quick-Service restaurants do not require reservations, but Table-Service dining reservations are recommended and can be made up to 180 days in advance, either
online, or by using the
My Disney Experience mobile app.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World.
