    If you get the free dining plan, at a deluxe hotel, but don’t want table service, can you swap plans before the holiday starts and downgrade it to a quick service plan? Thanks

    Hiya Rebecca! 

    Welcome to planDisney, where we are passionate about helping Guests like you navigate the Disney vacation planning process. With a little help and some answers, you can experience the most magical Disney holiday possible. I’m so glad you brought us your question about the Free Disney Dining Plan offer. Now let’s dig into the answer! 

    The Free Disney Dining Plan offer includes a Disney Dining Plan for Guests staying at a Deluxe Disney Resort hotel. With the Disney Dining Plan, each Guest will receive one table-service meal, one quick-service meal, and one snack per night of stay. I’m sorry to hear you don’t want the table-service meals. Some of my favorite Walt Disney World restaurants are table-service restaurants that offer fabulous menus and experiences. A few of my favorites include Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Toledo – Tapas, Steak and Seafood at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa which features some Character favorites, Boma – Flavors of Africa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Liberty Tree Tavern at Magic Kingdom Park, and Garden Grill Restaurant at EPCOT. 

    Unfortunately, you cannot downgrade your package to a Quick-Service Dining Plan with this offer. If your heart is set on the Quick Service Dining Plan, consider booking a moderate or value accommodation. Moderate Disney Resort stays qualify for a Free Quick-Service Dining Plan, while Value Resort stays qualify for a Free Quick-Service Meal. I absolutely love staying at Gran Destino Tower in Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. It is like staying at a Deluxe Resort at a Moderate Resort price. I also really love Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the ease of using the Disney Skyliner for transportation. 

    I hope you plan a Walt Disney World holiday that is practically perfect in every way. If you have more questions, please bring them to planDisney. We are here for you and happy to set out in search of answers.

    Happy Planning!
    Angie
