Hi Kelly, welcome to planDisney!
My family's excited about the return of dining plans at Walt Disney World Resort beginning January 9, 2024. Your
Quick-Service Dining Plan entitles you to two quick-service meals for each night of your stay at over 100 Quick-Service locations. My favorite Quick-Service restaurants at each of the four theme parks are
Pecos Bill Tall Tale and Cafe at Magic Kingdom Park,
Flame Tree Barbecue at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park,
Connections Eatery in EPCOT, and
Woody's Lunch Box in Disney's Hollywood Studios. The Quick-Service Dining Plan also includes one snack entitlement for each night of your stay; the opportunities are practically endless!
I recently returned an item at a merchandise location in Walt Disney World Resort and was given a card with merchandise credit. After reading the small print on the back of the card, I learned that having merchandise credit is not the same as having money on a general gift card. Unlike a Disney gift card, merchandise credit cannot be used to purchase food or beverage items so I'm afraid you won't be able to use your merchandise credit on a sit-down meal during your vacation. I know this is not the answer you were hoping for, but I'm confident you'll find a worthwhile way to spend your Disney dollars. Locations I'd hit on my shopping spree include
World of Disney at Disney Springs and
Creations Shop in EPCOT.
As you continue to plan Disney these next few months, Kelly, be sure to planDisney.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
