Hi Chelsea,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great question about the Disney Dining Plan! I think I know why there's some confusion, and I'd be happy to help clear things up for you!
There are actually three types of Disney Dining Plans: the
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, the
Disney Dining Plan, and the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. While you may use either of the latter two plans to cover the cost of your Table-Service meals, there
is a slight difference between them. If you're on the Disney Dining Plan, all Table-Service meals will include one entrée and one beverage, and any lunch or dinner meals will also include a dessert. No appetizer will be included. However, if you're on the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan, you'll receive everything included with the Disney Dining Plan, plus your lunch and dinner Table-Service meals will also include an appetizer. Whether or not you'll receive an appetizer with your meal depends upon which
type of Disney Dining Plan you're using! Do note, however, that all
Signature Dining experiences will require two Table-Service entitlements, regardless of the type of Disney Dining Plan you're using. There are definitely some AMAZING options to choose from, though! Mmm...SO delicious!
Thanks so much for visiting again, Chelsea, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're planning your visit. I hope that you have a truly magical...and delicious...vacation!
