Hi, there!
Welcome back to planDisney, Amy. We're delighted to see you again! It sounds like you're planning another visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Yay!
This mom of three runs on equal parts pixie dust and caffeine, so you can bet I love grabbing breakfast at the
Starbucks locations in the theme parks too. It's a magical way to start the day, right? In the past, Guests have been able to redeem dining plan Quick-Service meals at Starbucks that include specialty coffees as the beverage for the meal. I don't anticipate that that will change, but it's
possible that what qualifies as a Quick-Service meal at the Starbucks locations will change by the time you visit next year. When
enjoying a dining plan at Walt Disney World, my best advice is to always ask the dining location Cast Members what's included with your plan! In my experience, they're happy to help you get the best bang for your Disney buck.
That said, using your Quick-Service meals at the theme park Starbucks locations may not be the best use of your plan, in terms of value. I recommend using your dining plan Snacks to purchase breakfast items and specialty coffees at Starbucks. Did you know that all beverages in all sizes qualify as a Snack there? I usually only order a Grande when I'm at home, but when I have a dining plan for my Disney vacation, you can bet this mom is ordering a Venti!
Keep your eye on the
Disney Parks Blog while you're counting down the months to your visit. It's your best resource for news and updates about Disney Parks and destinations!
I hope this was helpful, Amy. Please let us know if you have any other questions about the Walt Disney World Resort! As always, we'd love to help you plan your next magical stay.
