Hi Nicole,
You will still need to use 2 meal credits for the dining experiences that require it normally, whether you are using the "Basic", "Deluxe", or "Premium" Dining Plans. The difference between the "Deluxe Dining Plan" and the "Premium Package" would be that the "Premium Package" offers the entertainment and recreation portion as an added bonus to the "Basic" and "Deluxe" plans. A quick list is as follows:
Unlimited Use of Select Recreation, Admission to the Cirque du Soleil show La Nouba (one admission per person is included), Unlimited Admission to Select Theme Park Tours, Unlimited Admission to Select Disney’s Children's Activity Centers and Admission to Grand Gathering Experiences (if you have 8 or more in your party). You can view the Premium Package details
here, just click where it says "Disney Premium Plan with dining, recreation and entertainment" and you will get a list of all that is included! You can view the Deluxe Dining Plan
here, and again click where it says "Disney Deluxe Dining Plan for extra savings and convenience" and you will be able to view the differences between the two. Now you just need to make the choice (easier said than done, I know), but you can't go wrong with whichever one you choose, they are all great plans!
Best wishes,
Brigitta
