    Hi, we got the second tier dining plan. I was wondering if we can exchange the sit down meals for counter service while we are there? So Instead of a sit down can we grab a bite at the hotel or park.

    Hi Monika!

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

    The Disney Dining Plan is something I enjoy using every time I visit Walt Disney World Resort, and I love the flexibility and convenience it offers across Walt Disney World Resort - at the theme parks, the Disney Resort hotels and select locations at Disney Springs.  It is entirely up to each individual Guest how they use their own entitlements, maybe using more on one day and less on another.  With your Disney Dining Plan you will receive, per Guest, per night of stay, 1 Table-Service credit, 1 Quick-Service credit, 2 Snacks and a refillable drink mug which can be used for unlimited refills of select fountain drinks, and hot drinks such as tea, coffee and hot chocolate, at the beverage stations at any of the Disney Resort hotels.  

    If you wish to convert a Table-Service entitlement to a Quick-Service credit this may be done at the restaurant's discretion in exchange for one meal.  Again, speak with your server, and if they will permit this exchange they can arrange this for you.  In the same way, if the restaurant or facility will allow a conversion to three Snack credits, they will do this for you at the time of purchase.  If you find you still have some Table-Service entitlements left at the end of your stay, I would suggest visiting your Quick-Service location, or retail location within your Disney Resort hotel and ask if they will convert your Table-Service credits to Snack credits.  You could pick up a few items for your journey home, or to take home as gifts! Unfortunately there is currently not a precise list of locations where you can convert dining credits to snacks, but it's always worth asking.

    The Disney Dining Plans may be used from time of check-in at your Resort hotel (if you use online check-in, your Dining Plan can be used from 7.00am on your arrival day), until midnight on your day of departure, and 
    please remember that if you would like to dine at a Table-Service location, dining reservations are recommended, and can be made up to 180 days in advance, either online, or by using the My Disney Experience mobile app.  

    Come back and visit us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort, and for all the latest official news and updates on events happening during your trip, keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog.
