Disney Dining Plan

Breaking The Myths – Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resort Dining Plans

For this week’s ā€œBreaking the Mythsā€ series, we focus our attention on the various dining plans offered to guests staying at the Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resorts.

Here are the top 3 myths associated with these Dining Plans:

  1. Myth: I have heard that there is a limited selection of restaurants that accept the Disney Dining Plans
    While not all dining locations at theĀ Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resort accept the dining plans, the majority do. As a matter of fact, over 100 dining locationsĀ accepted dining plan credits in 2016! Many table service restaurants were added in 2016 including The BOATHOUSEĀ®, Chef Art Smith’s Homecoming, STK Orlando, and Frontera Cocina inĀ Disney Springsā„¢.Ā The final participant list for 2017 should be released very soon!
  2. Myth: With theĀ Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resort Dining Plans, I can only eat at the restaurant or food court at my Resort
    Regardless of whatĀ Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resort you are staying at, your dining credits are accepted at any of theĀ participatingĀ dining locations throughout property. As many of the resort dining locations serve the “flavor” of their resort’s theme, we encourage clients to try the various dining options outside of the parks. Whether you choose to dine in the island ambiance of the Polynesian-inspired ‘Ohana or the rowdy cowboy dining hall at Whispering Canyon Cafe, the Walt Disney WorldĀ® Resort Dining PlansĀ ensure that no one leaves hungry!
  3. Myth: Dining credits received are based off of the number of days on myĀ Magic Your WayĀ® Ticket and must be used before I check out
    The amount of dining credits you receive are based solely on the number of nights in your Walt Disney WorldĀ® ResortĀ Magic Your WayĀ® Vacation – no other factors affect this number. Credits are good until 11:59pm on the day you check out.

With three differentĀ Magic Your Way® Packages that include a dining option, finding the perfect one to fit your family’s needs can be confusing! Our Magic MakersĀ® are dedicated to providing you with a vacation that is centered around you, so let us help!

Character Meals with a 2 year old

Question:Off to Neverland Navigators Panel

I’m confused about character dining with my 2 year old daughter.Ā  She is not old enough to qualify for the Disney Dining Plans.Ā  Will we have to pay for her at the meals with a character experience?

Answer:

Character meals are a great relaxing and delicious way to introduce children to the characters!  Even better, children under the age of 3 eat free at all buffets at the Walt Disney World® Resort!  Your daughter can meet the characters, eat whatever she wants, and make memories to last a lifetime!
