Welcome back to planDisney, Breanne!
It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from you, and we’re so happy that you’ve come back to make another inquiry! Your trip is just a handful of weeks away! You’ll be savoring the magic of Disney World before you know it.
Generally, if you make upgrades to your meals while on the
Dining Plans, you will be charged a small fee. (But the $2 fee that you’re mentioning may be completely worth it to get the side upgrade that you want! Please also note that fees are subject to change.) Each dining location will be managed slightly differently, so I highly recommend asking the Cast Member helping you to assist you with this upgrade, Breanne — there may be sides/upgrades that are actually included in the Dining Plan meal options available to you. It never hurts to ask!
One of my favorite Quick-Service Dining locations is
Satu’li Canteen at Animal Kingdom within Pandora! I absolutely love the fresh, healthy menu, and I’m always satisfied with my meal — it’s a great place for kids too.
Another one of my favorites is
ABC Commissary at Hollywood Studios. This is another great location to get some fresh food! Recently I have loved the Arugula-Farro Salad for my side dish during meals!
I hope you fill your belly with delightful meals, Breanne! If you have any additional questions, we hope to hear from you again at planDisney!
Have a great, big, beautiful tomorrow,
Allyn
