Hi Natalie!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
This is a great question! The
Disney Dining Plans can be used across the whole of the Walt Disney World Resort, including
Disney Springs, the four theme parks and the Disney Resort hotels. This is what makes it such a good value, and so flexible to use. All the
Disney Resort hotels have a Quick-Service restaurant where you can redeem your Quick-Service credits. With every Dining Plan you will also receive a refillable drink mug which you can use for refills of hot drinks such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate and also fountain drinks at the beverage stations at the Quick-Service Restaurants at all the Disney Resort hotels. Depending on which Dining Plan you choose, if you have Table-Service credits (with the
Disney Dining Plan, and the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan) there are a variety of Disney Resort hotel restaurants that will also accept those. You can begin enjoying use of your Disney Dining Plan from time of check-in at your Resort hotel (if you check-in online, your Dining Plan can be used from 7.00am on your arrival day), until midnight on your day of departure. If you are planning to dine at any Table-Service Restaurants, reservations are recommended, and can be made
online, or by using the My Disney Experience mobile app.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World. ~ Sue
