Hello Lavana! Welcome to planDisney! I have to say, this is the best question I have ever received on this panel. Your group of twenty-seven Disney lovers who enjoy good food sounds like the perfect magical trip. Can I join you guys? Please let me know.
In my opinion, the
Disney Dining Plan is the best way to put convenience and planning together. You can pay for all your meals in advance and not worry about each check and restaurant when travelling. Everyone in your party can have whatever they want and enjoy every second. However, you can only get a Dining Plan as part of a
Disney Resort Hotel Package that includes a hotel and tickets. Therefore, I cannot tell you the exact cost of your package. But don't worry, I will give you lots of tips to help you find out.
First and foremost, you need to decide which Dining Plan best suits your interests. The
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan is a great option if you have little ones with you and want to dine at a variety of Quick-Service locations without making any dining reservations. Everyone in the party ages three and over gets two Quick-Service Meals (per night of stay), one Snack/Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of stay), and one Resort-Refillable Drink Mug.
The second option is the
Disney Dining Plan, which is perfect for experiencing classic dining options at both Quick-Service and Table-Service restaurants, including Character Dining locations. Everyone in the party ages three and over gets one Quick-Service Meal (per night of stay), one Table-Service Meal (per night of stay), one Snack/Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of stay), and one Resort-Refillable Drink Mug.
Once you've decided which plan suits your family the best, it's time to choose your travel dates and the best
Disney Resorts Collection hotel for your family. Here's my suggestion: call the
Group Reservations hotline (for parties with ten rooms or more), and they will design a custom package specifically for your family. The best part? There's no cost associated with this planning! It takes away all the guesswork for a colossal trip like this one, and the Cast Members are always amazing and go above and beyond to help guests like you.
Lavana, I hope this helps with your questions. If you have any other questions in the meantime,
please let us know. We're always here to help a friend like you.
Cheers
