It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Annette!
My family and I are lucky enough to travel to Walt Disney World Resort pretty frequently, and we add the
Disney Dining Plan to our vacation package almost every time we go. We love that the Dining Plan offers us to choose what we want to eat and when we want to eat it, and of course, the convenience and peace of mind of having it all taken care of in advance!
There are a few different things that factor into the price of the Disney Dining Plan, including the ages of the people traveling with you, how long you're staying, and which of the three plans you want to use. You can price it out for yourself and play around with the different options when you're booking your vacation package online. If you've already booked your vacation, or you have some questions about the Dining Plan and how it can work for your family, you can
contact Disney Resort Hotel Reservations and a friendly Cast Member will help you decide between the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, the
Disney Dining Plan, and the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan, and let you know the exact cost of adding it to your vacation package. The Dining Plan must be added at least 24 hours before your arrival if you want it, so be sure to leave yourself enough time to look into it and decide.
I hope this answers your questions, Annette, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
