Hey Kari,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for stopping by with your Walt Disney World question. It sounds like you will be taking advantage of one of
Disney’s Dining Plans this fall during your visit. I love to hear that, because Disney food is one of my favorite topics! Disney’s Dining Plans are a super yummy and convenient way to prepay for your meals while you’re on your Disney vacation. Depending on the plan you choose, you’ll get dining credits for meals & snacks or nonalcoholic drinks for every day of your stay plus you’ll get a Resort-Refillable mug that you can use for unlimited fountain beverages, coffee and tea at any Disney resort quick-service restaurant. Good news, Kari - you can pick this mug up at any
Disney resort hotel as long as you are ready to activate your Dining Plan. Doing this on your
Coronado Springs Resort checkout day at that location is allowed since that is the same day that you'll be checking into
Disney's All-Star Music Resort.
The Dining Plans are a really smart way to add convenience to your stay. Remember to bring your
MagicBand+ to use it when paying for meals, and don’t forget that you can also use the mobile order service in the
My Disney Experience app to preorder food from quick-service locations using your Dining Plan. Your account is front-loaded with your dining credits, so you'll get them all at once when you activate your plan at the start of your trip and you can use as many credits as you'd like per day. Use the My Disney Experience app to keep track of your credits. Just tap the hamburger menu icon in the lower right corner (☰), then tap Hotel Reservations. Scroll down and tap Check Dining Plan to see your remaining meals and snacks.
I hope this information is helpful, Kari. If you have any additional questions about your upcoming visit please stop by and see us here at planDisney again! Until next time, TTFN… ta-ta for now!
