Hiya Karen!
Welcome to planDisney! Can I say something crazy....? I'm incredibly excited for you that you're planning on using the
Disney Dining Plan, because it's one of my most favorite things! There are a few ways you can view and track your dining credits, so let's review those. No snack credit left behind!! That's my motto....
The My Disney Experience app really can do it all, and you are correct that this is one excellent source to find your Disney Dining Plan information. From the home screen, click on "My Resort". This opens details of your resort package reservation, and under the icon for "Check Dining Plan" you should see how many credits you have.
Another trick is to check your receipt after any food purchases. Your remaining food credits should be included there. And of course, you can swing by your resort front desk or ask at Guest Services to have a Cast Member check your remaining balances for you.
If I were you, I'd be daydreaming about all those wonderful dining choices at Walt Disney World right about now! If you've got the Disney Dining Plan, which includes one table service credit per person, per night of stay - you will definitely want to make some
Advance Dining Reservations starting 60 days prior to your check in date. My family has two go-to's that we absolutely love:
Boma, partially as an excuse to visit the amazing Animal Kingdom Lodge and gaze at the savannah animals before dinner, and
'Ohana because it's amazingly delicious every time we visit.
I hope this helps, Karen. Please visit us again at planDisney if you need any other planning tips.
Enjoy those magical meals!
Tami
