Hi Mary! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am so happy to hear that your party will have the chance to experience a few of the
Character Dining locations! It is my favorite way to meet Disney Characters without having to wait in line! Prices are listed on the
Disney Dining website and although some are listed as a “price-range” rather than a set price, it will give you a good idea on approximate costs. There is also the option of
contacting Dining Reservations and asking them for more specific pricing based on your travel dates, Disney restaurant, and current pricing. Once you have an idea of how much you will be paying out of pocket for the Character Breakfasts you can calculate the value of the Disney Dining Plan. Perhaps by taking advantage of the Disney Dining Plan, your party will be able to indulge in some great new dining experiences!
The
Magic Your Way Vacation Package with the Disney Dining Plan has recently changed to offer two snacks per day instead of including dessert with your Quick Service meal. I believe that this is a FANTASTIC change because now you get TWO snacks per day, definitely something to take into consideration. Ultimately, you have to do what is best for your party. For us, having everything prepaid and being able to use our Dining Credits for Characters Dining makes the Disney Dining Plan the best option for us!
Bon appetit!
