Hey there! Hi there, Larrissa! All the planning is nearly done. Time to cue Tiana singing, "I'm almost there!" You're getting closer and closer every day, and you're almost there! I'm so excited for you and honored that you've made planDisney part of your Disney planning experience.
Disney dining plans offer a lot of flexibility and the tools to help you manage them as you enjoy meals and snacks during your time at the
Most Magical Place on Earth. I can tell from your question you know you can use
mobile food ordering on the
My Disney Experience app to use (or not) your dining plan credits. I love the app because it helps me quickly identify eligible snacks while mobile ordering. I skip using snack credits for bottles of soda to save them for special treats like the Caramel Liquor Flight at
Karamell-Küche and the Mickey Waffle with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, Bananas and Berries at
Sleepy Hollow. So when I get a bottled beverage, the Cast Member asks if I want to use a snack credit, and I politely respond, "No," and dream of the sweets awaiting me later in the day.
I've also traveled with friends while I had a dining plan, and they did not. I was able to order lunch at
Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo for my friends and me, letting the Cast Member know which entrées would use meal credits and which meals I wanted to pay for with a credit card. It made it very easy for us to plan what worked best for our families while still traveling together as a group at the theme parks.
Larrissa, there ain't nothing going to stop you now! The countdown on the app is so close to saying, "Have a Magical Time!" If you have any other questions, like taking advantage of the "
Future Stay Offer," I hope you continue to make
planDisney your planning partner.
Fairytales Do Come True!
