Hi Teresa,
How exciting that you're planning a Disney vacation for this
summer! You are going to have a BLAST!
If you're planning on staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you'll be eligible to purchase a
Disney Resort Hotel Package that includes a
Disney Dining Plan. I love the Disney Dining Plan because I don't have to think about what we're going to eat or how much money something costs; I can just relax and enjoy my vacation
while feasting on lots of delicious meals and snacks. With the Disney Dining Plan, you'll receive a refillable drink mug for use at Quick-Service locations at Disney Resort hotels plus meal and snack entitlements based on the number of nights you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel. For example, if you choose the standard Disney Dining Plan, you'll receive one Quick-Service meal, one Table-Service meal, and two snacks per person per night of your stay. The great part is that you have the freedom to use them however they work best for you, and your entitlements will be valid through the end of the day of your check-out.
As for theme park ticket discounts, if you purchase a Disney Resort Hotel Package, your tickets will be part of that. If you decide that you'd rather pay for things separately, I'd encourage you to keep your eye on the
Special Offers page for any available discounts. There's currently a 4-Park Magic Ticket deal available that could work perfectly for you!
Thanks for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Teresa, and please come back and see us again if you have more questions! I hope that you have a truly magical vacation!
