Love the Panel! I have a DDP (1Q, 1T, 1S) for 6/8-6/15, 2 adults, 2 kids + infant. We want to do a couple extra table service meals - can I pick and chose which ones I apply the DDP against and which ones I pay out of pocket for? How do I decide? TY!

Question

Answer 1

Hello Sabrina!

When you're seated for your meal, simply let your server know if you'll be using your Disney Dining Plan credits or paying for the meal out of pocket. They will then be able to enter your meal in the system accordingly. It's super simple!

We tend to pay for breakfast out of pocket as it is typically the least expensive meal and save the dining plan credits for most expensive dinners. You can check out menus and prices on unofficial sites like allears.net if you want to plan your out of pocket meals ahead of time.

I hope this answers your question, Sabrina! Please come back and see me again if you have any other questions about your magical vacation. I'd love to help you make it practically perfect in every way!

Best Wishes,
Ashley
