Hi there, Naomi, and welcome to planDisney! I am so happy that you've stopped by today with this great question about your upcoming vacation to
Walt Disney World Resort! It's never too early to start thinking making your list of must-do activities and must-try food and beverage items.
Naomi, when it comes to dining plans, you have a friend in me! I love using a
dining plan during my vacation because it provides me a lot of value and the ability to plan ahead. Depending on the type of dining plan you have, you'll either have a combination of table service meals and quick-service meals, or all quick-service meals - along with your snacks, of course. Each of your table service and quick-service
meals will include a beverage. If you're over 21 years of age, you might choose an alcoholic beverage where available.
At this time, your dining plan meal will not be able to be separated from your drink, so they must be ordered at the same time. However, it's up to you how much of the food you eat, so if you decide you just want the drink, then you're welcome to make that choice. It wouldn't provide the best monetary value, but that decision is totally up to you. This order would need to be placed at a participating quick-service or table service restaurant. When in doubt, ask a helpful Cast Member or Server when you're unsure how to use your dining plan at a specific dining location. They're happy to help you understand!
Naomi, I hope this is helpful to you as you continue to plan your vacation! Please stop back by
planDisney with any other questions you have as you count down to your arrival!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
