Hi Courtney! We’re so happy you found us here at planDisney. I can see how excited you are getting for your visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth, which is just a couple of months away now! We are so excited for you too and love helping you plan for your visit.
I am a big fan of the
Disney Dining Plan because it gives me a great reason to try so many of the incredible dining locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. I also love the convenience of prepaying for my meals, so I can just sit down and enjoy time with my family without having to worry about the bill. My kids love that they don’t have to ask for dessert because they know it’s a
guarantee at our table service meals!
When you see “Some Dining Plans Accepted,” this is usually associated with quick serviceblocations. This means that at that dining location, you will be able to use either snack credits or quick service meal credits (or both), depending on the menu. For table service locations that accept the Disney Dining Plan, you will typically see “View Dining Plans and Discounts.” When you click there, you will be able to view how many credits are required for a table service meal. Most table service locations on the dining plan require one credit. However, the
Signature Dining locations that accept the dining plan usually require two credits. It’s always a good idea to check each location you plan to visit in advance, so you can be sure you won’t run out of credits during your vacation.
One of my favorite parts of the dining plan are the snack credits! We have so much fun trying new snacks in each park. Some of my tried and true favorites are School Bread from Kringla Bakeri in the Norway pavilion at EPCOT, Cheshire Cat Tails from Cheshire Cafe in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, and DOLE Whips® from Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom or Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Two of my other can’t skip snacks are Poutine from the Refreshment Port in EPCOT’s Canada pavilion and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls from the Adventureland Spring Roll Cart at Magic Kingdom. I do need to tell you though that the Refreshment Port is currently closed for refurbishment and the spring rolls are not eligible for a snack credit. Stop by to see if Refreshment Port has reopened during your visit, and those spring rolls are worth
every bit of the little extra cost to pay for them separately!
Courtney, I hope this helps you navigate how to use your credits on the Disney Dining Plan. You have such a magical trip to look forward to and
so much delicious food! If you have any more questions, be sure to
send them my way. I’d be so happy to help you plan a trip that is “practically perfect in every way!”
With faith, trust, & pixie dust,
Casey
