Dear Stefanie,
It is our pleasure to receive your question and be able to participate in the planning process of your trip! Thank you for reaching out!
Adding the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan will give you lots of opportunities to try the different
character dining experiences,
signature dining and so much more! I'm so glad to hear this is the dining plan option you will be going for!
The days you won't have
Park tickets, you can use your credits in resort dining venues, and let me tell you, there are SO MANY great options, you will want to extend your stay!
Amongst my favorite character dining options are
*
Chef Mickey's in Disney's Contemporary Resort
*
1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian
*

*
Cape May Café in Disney's Beach Club Resort
*

And for signature dining options, you could choose from my top list below
