Hi Dymphna,
Welcome home! And welcome to planDisney!
Thank you for visiting us with your question today. I am so happy you stopped by! I love getting to chat with fellow
Disney Vacation Club Members and helping them to make the most of their membership. My family and I have been enjoying the flexibility of our membership for several years. We just wish we had joined sooner! It looks like you will be enjoying a stay at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa early next year. How exciting!
Let's talk about Disney Dining at Walt Disney World! Did you know there are over 200 dining locations across the Resort?! I love the different experiences available, from quick service to character dining. It has become a tradition for my family to enjoy a skillet at Whispering Canyon Cafe at
Disney's Wilderness Lodge on the first day of our vacation! As you will be staying at Saratoga Springs, you will be able to hop over to Disney Springs for an amazing choice of places to dine!
The Disney Dining Plans offer guests a great way to budget for meals during their vacation. Dymphna, you can add one of the two dining plans on the
Disney Vacation Club website by going to your dashboard, selecting the reservation, and then going to 'Purchase Dining Plan.' When purchasing a dining plan, it must be for all Guests on the reservation and for the length of the stay.
Great news, Dymphna! Did you know that during 2026,
Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel will get a free dining plan for their children (ages 3-9) when purchasing a dining plan with their package for others in their party (ages 10 and up). Disney Vacation Club Members booking a stay using Vacation Points are included, too!
I hope this helps answer your question today. If you have any further vacation planning questions or questions about your membership, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
Have a magical day,
Matt
