Hi Maria,
Thank you for visiting us at the
Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. Is your vacation coming up soon? I cannot wait for mine next year.
I love the Dining Plans. Such a convenient way to prepay for your meals and not have to worry about budgeting or bills when coming home. Being able to add this option to a
vacation package, is one of the best
benefits for Disney Resort Hotel Guests. For us, the
Disney Dining Plan works best, which gives you one Table-Service meal, one Quick-Service meal and two Snacks per person and per night of stay. The
Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan gives you two Quick-Service meals per night of stay and two Snacks. And there is also the
Disney Deluxe Dining Plan which gives you three meals per day and two Snacks, with the benefit of you able to choose between Quick-Service or Table-Service at all times, and it includes appetizers at Table-Service lunch or dinner.
We love the value and convenience of the moderate Resort Hotels, in particular
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. In the last few years, we took advantage of the best
Special Offer of the year: Free Dining! Since this offer included the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan, we always upgraded to the Disney Dining Plan. When you make a new reservation, you can select to upgrade for the corresponding difference in price. However, if you already made your reservation, you will have to speak to a vacation planning expert at (407) 939-1936, or your travel agent. You can make these changes until a few days before your Check-In. Prices are subject to change, and it will be based on your particular reservation.
One last tip: you can make
dining reservations up to 180 days in advance. And if for some reason, you cannot find what you are looking for, keep checking. Many Guests change their plans up to the last minute. Happy planning!
Ricardo.
