Hi Sandra,
Your vacation is literally here. Are you all packed and ready? Are you excited to spend some magical time at Walt Disney World Resort? Ok, let's get right to your question!
I love the
Disney Dining Plans. I don't need to figure out how much money I'll need for meals, and instead I just have to come to an agreement with my family as to which restaurants to choose. Not an easy task! But we love the flexibility it gives us.
All entitlements are available from the moment you Check-In and they expire at midnight of your Check-out day. That means that you can spend as many or as little entitlements as you want at any time. Now, regarding your children, all entitlements are available on all
MagicBands even if you do not grant them charging privileges, therefore you children could order their own meals. We typically split up in
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café, as some of us prefer the great burgers from Bay 2, while others may want prefer a juicy chicken sandwich from Bay 1.
One last tip:
Be Our Guest Restaurant offers breakfast and lunch as Quick-Service, and you can get advanced dining reservations. Many guests do cancel a couple of days before in order to avoid fees, so check out availability with the
My Disney Experience mobile app. See you REAL soon!
Ricardo.
