Hi Jason!
I'm excited to hear you're planning a fall visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth! There's so much to see, do, and EAT on a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and I'm happy you're already making plans on how to make the dining plan work for you.
I was thrilled to hear that
dining plans would be returning as part of Disney Resort Hotel Packages. My family loves including a dining plan as part of our Disney vacation experience. Sometimes we opt for the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, and sometimes we will splurge on the
Disney Dining Plan, which includes Table Service meals. We love the convenience of pre-paying for meals and snacks before we arrive, so we can relax and enjoy our vacation (and all the delicious food!).
I'm happy to tell you that - yes - you CAN use a dining plan credit on the
Fantasmic! Dining Package. Here's what's included:
Entree
Appetizer or Dessert at select full-service locations
(1) full buffet (where applicable)
(1) non-alcoholic beverage
(1) voucher for guaranteed seating at Fantasmic! in a reserved area
You'll have several dining locations to choose from as part of the Fantasmic! Dining Packages. 1 Table-Service meal will be redeemed from the dining plan for each guest at
50's Prime Time Cafe,
Hollywood & Vine,
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano, and
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. A delicious meal at
The Hollywood Brown Derby will require 2 Table-Service redemptions.
Whenever anyone asks me what my "must-dos" are on a Walt Disney World vacation, I always list
Fantasmic! as my number one recommendation. With a combination of live performances, water effects, pyrotechnics, projections, fabulous music, and lots of favorite Disney Characters, it's such a fun show! My daughters love to sit down in front, where sometimes we get a little wet from the water effects. Sometimes after a hot day in the parks, it's kind of a fun way to cool off!
I hope you have a most magical time on your vacation and can secure the perfect Fantasmic! Dining Package for your travel party. Please let us know if you have more questions before your trip - we're happy to help.
