Hey Howdy Hey Happy Platers!
This year, on Jan. 9th, the Disney Dining Plan came back online. It was first introduced in 2005 and has developed in complexity and variations over time. The Disney Dining Plan allows guests to eat at park restaurants without needing to have cash on their persons. The plan does now include alcoholic beverages but not gratuities. The plan has been criticized for various reasons, including that servers need to be more knowledgeable about which food items are considered meals and which are considered snacks. Currently, Disney only offers 2 dining plans: QS and Standard. Previously there was a Deluxe dining that entitled you to 3 TS meals per day!

We are going to break down the value of adding the dining plan to your WDW package vs. paying out of pocket. Also, we look into the current Disney+ “Free” Dining package vs. the stay longer promo.
Here is the breakdown of the dining plan entitlements:

Quick Service -

• 2 Quick-Service Meals (per night of stay)*
• 1 Snack/Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of stay)*
• 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug**

Standard Dining -

• 1 Quick-Service Meal (per night of stay)*
• 1 Table-Service Meal (per night of stay)*
• 1 Snack/Nonalcoholic Drink (per night of stay)*
• 1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug**
