Hiya Philippa!
Thank you for reaching out, and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! As a big foodie, I am so glad you decided to get a vacation package and use those dining credits. The Walt Disney World Resort has many incredible dining options, so let's talk about how you can use those credits and have a truly delicious vacation!
Unfortunately, after doing some research on the
Walt Disney World Resort Dining & ShoppingPromo Card, I found that it can only be used at the time of purchase and, therefore, cannot be used to pay for items charged to your room. However, you can do a few things to make your payments a bit more convenient! Upon receiving your email with your Walt Disney World Resort Dining & Shopping Promo Card, you can add this card to your digital wallet. Another quick tip is that if you copy and paste the barcode number into your notes app, you can use this card when making Mobile Food and Beverage Orders. I especially love this service as it allows you to order your food in advance, then getting rid of the time you used to spend waiting in line. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to
reach out to a Cast Member or use this

Now, Philippa, another important thing to consider is that not all dining locations accept these credits. However, so many of my favourite restaurants take these credits, so I thought I would share some suggestions if you are looking to try something new! First, I highly recommend stepping out of the theme parks to try some of the amazing restaurants available in the Resort hotels. The
Grand Floridian Cafe,
Sanaa and
Boma - Flavors of Africa are some of my family's favourite restaurants on property, and we always have to go when we visit the theme parks! Second, Disney Springs'
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' and
Wine Bar George are some of my absolute favourite restaurants that accept dining credits. Lastly, the
Nomad Lounge and
Tiffins Restaurant are also on the list, both of which are some of my favourite restaurants I have ever tried. Tiffins Restaurant's falafels are seriously life changing! Be sure to
look through the complete list before booking your reservations.
I hope this was helpful, Philippa, and that you will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your trip, please don't hesitate to reach back out. As Remy said: "Vous serez toujours la bienvenue chez Remy!"
Bon appétit,
Ariane
