Hi Adrienne,
The
Disney dining plans are a great addition to your vacation. I love the idea of prepaid meals because it makes your Disney World vacation feel like an all-inclusive trip. Once you arrive, you don't have to worry about food, transportation, or theme park tickets when you choose to go with a Disney Resort Hotel Package.
Both the
Disney Dining Plan and the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan are purchased as part of a vacation package and will be attached to the individual guests on your resort hotel reservation. You will only be able to purchase a Disney dining plan for the 4 people staying at the resort and attached to your reservation.
If you are trying to decide which option to go with, I prefer the Disney Dining Plan because it includes table-service dining experiences and character dining experiences. One of my favorite things at Disney World is the array of fabulous restaurants available. There is something for the most adventurous eaters in your group and the pickiest often at the same restaurants.
I love that the Disney Dining Plan includes
character dining experiences because it is such a great way to enjoy a meal and get to have multiple meet-and-greets with your favorite Disney characters. The beauty of these meals is that your favorite Disney friends come directly to your table for pictures, autographs, and interactions. You get to avoid waiting in lines for those coveted character pictures and enjoy some of the best food around. My favorite reservations to grab are at
Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT and
Tusker House Restaurant in Animal Kingdom.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
