Welcome back, Christine!
I hope you have had fun planning out your advanced dining reservations for your upcoming vacation to Walt Disney World® Resort. I think the dining experiences are part of the magic!
The Deluxe Disney Dining Plan is my favorite dining plan option. I love the flexibility this plan offers along with having the option of three table service meals a day. For a six-night stay on the deluxe plan you will have 18 table service meal entitlements. I know it seems like a lot, but that is what your plan covers :)
My favorite way of maximizing the deluxe plan, especially on days we might not want to have a sit-down breakfast, is to have a light breakfast of fruit and breakfast bars in our room while we're getting ready for the day (which you can use your snack credits for) and then book an early lunch when the restaurants are not crowded. Then, we can take advantage of the Signature Dining experiences available that require two table service credits for dinner.
I hope this helps, Christine! Please let me know if you have any additional questions, I am your go-to-girl for any questions you may have regarding the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan.
Happy Dining!
Faith
