Hi, Christina!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks for your question. We love helping you plan your magical vacations!
I’m a fan of the
Disney Dining Plans because they are a convenient way to save money while sampling the delicious food the resort restaurants have to offer. The specific plan that is best for you depends on your family’s eating habits and preferences. Walt Disney World’s standard dining plan, for example, includes one quick-service meal, one table-service meal and one snack per person, per day at participating dining locations throughout the resort. The plan also includes one refillable drink mug per person for use at your resort hotel for the length of your stay. With the quick-service dining plan, each Guest in your party receives credits for two quick-service meals and one snack per day, plus the refillable drink mug. If you want to enjoy more table-service meals, you might opt for the deluxe plan, which includes three table-service or quick-service meals and two snacks per day, plus the resort refillable mug.
However, no matter which version of the Disney Dining Plan you choose, it is flexible and you’re not required to use the same amount of credits each day. You can choose to use fewer (or none) on some days and more on others, perhaps using two table-service credits for a Signature Dining experience or big buffet breakfast.
I hope this helps, Christina. Please feel free to visit me again with more questions as you continue to plan your pixie-dusted Walt Disney World Resort visit!
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
