    hello! we are going in sept. 2019. I am just wondering if when we check into to Animal Kingdom Lodge we can use our dining plan right away? we have the 1 table service /1 quick service / 2 snacks option. Also could a 12 year old eat at California Grill?

    Jambo, Cassie! 

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so excited to hEAR yo will be visiting Walt Disney World Resort in September! You are going to love the amazing dining locations, fun recreational activities and exotic animals at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. 

    The Disney Dining Plan offers Guests flexibility, a great value and the convenience of already having your meals and snacks taken care of before your vacation even begins. I'm happy to let you know that you'll be able to start using your dining entitlements after you check into your Disney Resort hotel.

    California Grill is my very favorite Signature Restaurant. I've taken my four children, which range in age from 13 to 20, many times to this popular dining location, and they have always loved it. That being said, I would not hesitate to take your 12-year-old to California Grill. When you visit, be sure to try the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli. It's simply amazing and my favorite appetizer of all time!

    Cassie, I hope this information has been helpful to you. Let us know if you have any new questions or would like dining recommendations. We would love to assist you further in planning a magical September trip!

    Bon Appétit,
    Jodie
