Hi Veronica,
Glad you stopped by today at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. Let me try to help you better plan your vacation. Only a few months away!
The
Dining Plans are such a convenience for my family and I. We take advantage of them on almost every visit, since we can easily prepay for our meals, when we add the option to a
vacation package. For us, the
Disney Dining Plan works best, with one Table-Service meal, one Quick-Service meal and two Snacks, per person and per night of stay. We love savoring the different cuisines around World Showcase, and try to have at least one dinner with the characters (
Chef Mickey's is one of our favorites). And we also at times would use two Table-Service entitlements on a dinner show like
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
In general, you can substitute one Table-Service meal for only one Quick-Service meal, but it is at the sole discretion of the restaurant. Since you can substitute a Quick-Service meal for three Snacks, you may be able to do the same with a Table-Service credit. Be sure to ask a manager on duty for your options. There are so many Table-Service options available throughout the Resort, not just inside the Theme Parks, but also at all the
Disney Resort Hotels, I am sure you will be able to use those extra credits.
One last tip: remember to update the
My Disney Experience mobile app. It is the easiest way to book last minute
restaurant reservations. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
