Hi Heather!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I am very happy to see that you are using the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan on your next visit to Walt Disney World Resort - I love the value it offers across the whole Resort, at the theme parks, the Disney Resort hotels and at select locations at
Disney Springs. The Disney Deluxe Dining Plan gives you the most flexibility of all the Disney dining plans with 3 Meals (Table-Service or Quick-Service), and 2 Snacks for each night of stay. You will also receive a Refillable Resort Mug for the length of your stay, which can be refilled at the beverage stations at any Disney Resort hotel with select fountain drinks, or hot drinks such as coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
With all the Dining Plans it is up to the discretion of each dining location as to what items are included, and your server will explain the areas of the menu that you may, or may not, order from. In my experience, I have only seen a few menu choices that are restricted, and not available as part of the dining plans. In general, you will have a very wide choice from the
Kona Cafe lunch menu. Also, it's worth noting that if you want any additional items, such as extra drinks, or side items or appetizers, you can order them and pay by another method. They will be added to your bill, along with the option of a gratuity, to be settled at the end of your meal. You can pay for these by any method you choose - credit card, cash, room charge using your MagicBand, or even by Disney Gift Card!
Table-Service reservations are always highly recommended and can be made up to 180 days in advance,
online, or by using your My Disney Experience mobile app.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort.
