The Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World is an add-on guests can choose for their vacation. This service allows guests to prepay for their food and snacks during their stay at Disney World. Disney has three options to choose from: Quick Service Dining Plan, Disney Dining Plan and the Deluxe Plan. Below are 5 reasons why the Disney Dining Plans will make your vacation easier.
1. No Checking Prices
With the Disney Dining Plans, your meals are pre-paid for. Therefore, when you sit down to eat there is no need to fear if people in your party will go over budget. The budget has already been set and paid for, so checking prices is unnecessary. The only thing you will have to budget for is tips for table service and buffets.
2. Refillable Mug (Rapid Fill)
Whichever Dining Plan you choose a Resort Refillable Mug is included, one for everyone in your group. This is a nice savings if you planned on purchasing these mugs anyway and then opt for a dining plan, as they are included. These mugs entitle guests to unlimited drink refills for many types of drinks at Disney World Resorts. Many types of soda (Coca-Cola products) are offered. In addition, Powerade, Hi-C and Iced Tea are the closest juice options. Plus there are hot drink options such as coffee, tea and even hot chocolate. If you plan on resort hopping, pack the mugs as they are good at any Disney owned resort, not just the one in which you are staying.
3. Options
More than 100 Disney World eateries accept the Dining Plans. Meaning, there is no shortage of options to dine at while using your dining and snack credits. Even Starbucks (located at all 4 parks and Disney Springs) accepts snack credits for tasty treats or specialty coffee & drinks. Other dining favorites include: 50’s Prime Time Café, Aloha Isle, Be Our Guest, Cape May Café, Flame Tree Barbeque and many more.
4. One Less Worry
By paying in advance for your snacks and meals means one less worry at the Parks. After having paid for Hotel and transportation (Airplane Travel, Renting Car etc.) to get to Disney, wouldn’t it be nice to only have to worry about picking out a souvenir or two for spending money? The Disney Dining Plans free up guests on having to worry about bringing enough money to the parks to pay for food for their stay.
5. Use As You Please
Once you have added on the Dining Plan and receive your credits, they are yours to use as you please. If you want to use multiple snack credits in one day and no quick service (Quick-Service Dining Plan) or table service credits (Disney Dining Plan or Deluxe Plan) than that is your prerogative. Plus, if you have non snack eater, there is no worry here as some one else in your group can use their credit. All credits are pooled together once received, so it is totally up to you on how to use and divide between your group and stay.
