Hi Katherine!
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
It's great to see that you are thinking through all the options available to you as you plan your magical Walt Disney World vacation.
A
Disney Dining Plan can offer lots of convenience and flexibility, and it can help you enjoy your dining during your vacation in a way that best meets your needs and preferences.
You can choose from 3 different plan offerings:
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan,
Disney Dining Plan, and
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan. Each plan features different combinations of meal options, so you can choose the plan that works best for how to want to enjoy your dining experiences. It's perfectly OK to take the time to think through all your options and how they can best work for you.
You can add a Disney Dining Plan to any Walt Disney World Resort reservation up to 1 day before your arrival by calling (407) WDW-1947 or (407) 939-1947.
You'll need to pay for the Disney Dining Plan in full at the time you add it to your Walt Disney World reservation.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
