Hi Shenika,
Congratulations on your first Disney Vacation! You and your family are going to have an amazing time!
A Disney Dining Plan is a key ingredient to the perfect vacation! Disney offers several dining plans and the best part is that you can choose what time of day to use your dining credits! So don't stress about the breakfast! The trickiest part is picking which plan is right for your trip!
Here is a quick comparison which can help you decide:
Disney's Quick Service Dining Plan offers two (2) quick service (or counter service) meals and one (1) snack per person per night of your package stay.
Disney's Dining Plan offers one (1) quick service (or counter service) meal, one (1) table service (restaurant) meal and one (1) snack per person per night of your package stay.
Disney's Deluxe Dining Plan offers three (3) meals and two (2) snacks per person per night of your package stay. These can be either quick service or table service. All of the plans mentioned above include resort refillable drink mug (one per person) which you can use at your Disney Resort for the length of your stay! Lastly I wanted to mention that the dining plans for for guests 3 years and above, so you have the option of feeding your little one from your plate or you can order him something off the menu. I can tell you from experience, you get served generous portions, so you may not want to order him anything.
Thanks for submitting your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! If I can help you with any other planning question, please feel free to ask!
