Hi Bob!
Welcome back to planDisney! I'm so happy to see you're preparing for another magical vacation at Walt Disney World Resort. No matter how many times I visit, the excitement of a Disney countdown never gets old!
Bob, if you haven't used the
dining plans before, I think you'll be impressed with the convenience and flexibility they offer. With the Quick-Service Dining Plan, each Guest will receive 2 Quick-Service meals and one snack or non-alcoholic beverage per night of their stay, along with a Resort-Refillable Mug that can be used throughout their vacation. I'm happy to share that your Quick-Service meals can be
redeemed at more than 100 locations throughout the parks and resorts, including available dining at other resort hotels. If you end up visiting
Gasparilla Island Grill, make sure to try the Macaroni & Cheese - it's so good!
Please keep in mind that
parking is only available at a resort hotel when you have a confirmed hotel, dining, or activity reservation at that specific property. However, as a Guest staying in the Disney Resorts Collection, you can check available options with Disney's
complimentary resort transportation to help you navigate between the theme parks, water parks, and resort hotels during your vacation.
Did you know that during your stay, you can easily track your remaining meals in the
My Disney Experience Mobile App? To do this, open your app, click the three lines in the bottom corner, tap "Hotel Reservations," and then select "Check Dining Plan." Don't worry if you don't see your meals before your check-in date, as they'll update on the first day of your reservation.
You can also use
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering in your app at many Quick-Service locations. The app will recognize choices you make that qualify as either Quick-Service meals or snacks and will allow you the option to apply your dining plan credits if you'd like. It's one of my favorite time-saving tips!
I hope this information has been helpful, Bob, and I'm sending pixie-dusted wishes for another wonderful visit to
The Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!
Cheers!
