    We'll be visiting in 2010, with 2 kids, 7 & 5. We want to do character dining such as Cinderella & Mickey's BBQ but we don't want to do a sit down dinner every night. Which plan is best choice, quick services or sit down meal plan?

    Hi, Lori!  The Basic Disney Dining Package sounds like it would work for you.  For each night of your stay, each guest in your party will receive a table service credit, counter service credit, and a snack credit.   I know you don't want a sit-down meal each day, but experiences such as Cinderella's Royal Table and Mickey's Backyard BBQ are each 2 table service credits, so this would still work out for you.  You may have to purchase a few meals and pay out of pocket, but you will probably still be ahead by using the Dining Plan. 

    For more detailed information on Disney Dining Plans, click HERE.    This should help you decide which plan will work best for your family.    You might also want to visit www.allears.net and click on DINING.   Check out some restaurants you would like to visit and look at the average costs of meals.  This might help you with your decision.   Good luck with your planning!

Meet the Panelist: Cathy, Ohio

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is sailing with Disney Cruise Line, running (or cheering!) at runDisney events, taking hula lessons at Aulani, or vacationing at the Walt Disney World which is our home away from home. I am proud to be a part of the planDisney team and cannot wait to share my tips and advice for a magical vacation
