The Disney Dining Plan includes over 100 selected Counter Service and Table Service restaurants, including Disney World's legendary Disney Character Dining and select Downtown Disney locations (payment of a surcharge is required for certain entrées at Planet Hollywood and Wolfgang Puck Cafe).

You can also find selected Snack locations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. Most cart locations selling frozen ice-cream novelties, popcorn or Coca-Cola products accept your Disney Dining Plan.

For each night on your reservation for just $37.99 per adult and $10.99 per child age 3-9 (prices include tax and gratuities), you enjoy:

1 table-service meal including appetizer, entree, dessert (excluding breakfast), and nonalcoholic beverage and gratuity charge
1 counter-service meal including entree, dessert (excluding breakfast) and nonalcoholic beverage at select counter-service locations
1 snack, such as a frozen ice cream bar, box of popcorn, 20 oz bottle of Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Dasani water or a medium fountain soft drink at select snack cart locations
As an added benefit, you may exchange 2 table-service meals for either 1 Signature Dining Experience at one of our finest restaurants, such as the acclaimed California Grill or for 1 Disney Dinner Show, such as Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue.
Children ages 3-9 must order from the Children's Menu if available.
Redeeming Your Meals
Present your Key to the World card to your server prior to ordering so your server knows to charge meals to your Disney Dining Plan. This will save time at check-out. Disney Dining Plan.

The following are notincluded in the Disney Dining Plan:

Room service (in-room dining)
Pizza delivery
In-room mini-bars
Souvenir or refillable drink mugs
Children ages 3 to 9 must order from the Children's Menu where available. Children under the age of 3 may share from the adult's plate if desired.

Tracking Your Meals
Your meal usage will be tracked electronically to your reservation. Each time you redeem meals or snacks from your Disney Dining Plan, your server or cashier will provide you with a receipt showing your remaining balance for that portion of your Disney Dining Plan.

For example, if your party of four (4) started with 20 counter-service meals and everyone in the party used one (1) counter-service meal, your paid receipt from the cashier would indicate a balance of 16 counter-service meals for the remainder of your reservation.

Contact your hotel front desk at any time should you need assistance with your meal plan balance. All unused meals expire at midnight on your reservation check-out date.

Using Your Meals
Use your meals and snacks in any order and in any amount throughout your package stay until your total is depleted.

For example, on the day of check-in your party could use four (4) counter-service meals, and then on day 2 your party could use four (4) table-service meals, four (4) counter-service meals, and two (2) snacks. You can continue using meals any way you like for the rest of your package stay until the number of meals/snacks are depleted.

Yay! I loved the DDP when we used it in August and that was one of the reasons I was holding out on the DVC, i was waiting to see what played out with the DDP. i was glad to hear they are offering it now. Have you booked it for a trip yet? Do you book it through DVC? Do you pay for it up front, or when you arrive?

So cool.

[Erin]

Perfect for you, Wish!!! I'm so glad that you and the other DVC members can take advantage!

:c)

Now, just offer it to us FL resident AP holders when we book a room, and life will be complete

Awesome deal for DVC members (or those who will stay on rented points!)

I think that DVC members can use this beginning with APRIL resort stays and beyond.

Sounds to me like the DP is fabulous. I have been doing allot research on the DP but the disappointing news for me is that I do not qualify for it on a Disney cruise despite the fact I am in the RESORT 4 days before I go to Sea! DCL packages (as I have been told by DCL) are exempt from the DP.

p.s. I see you are a PAT's fan...my son's girlfriend interviewed with the PATS just today at Gillette Stadium and was HIRED by them as "Special Events Coordinator"...for the record my son is OUT OF CONTROL with happiness....g.f. is glad she got the job as well but son is on CLOUD 9, 10, 11 AND 12!!!

[Ready2Go]

Very cool and about time.....Now all they need to do is make the North wing of the Contemporary DVC and I'm in. I'm wishing ..... I'm wishing ..... I'm wishing .....

I'm staying at Old Key West in eary May. My friends own the property, but the reservation is in my name. Can I purchase the plan, or does it need to be done by the property owner? Who do I contact? Thanks in advance. Be kind-it's my first post.

hey guitarman, welcome to DC!! I'm a guitarist myself over here.

Anyways, about your question:
I am also staying as a guest and I was able to call members services myself to add the dining plan. It was super easy and they ask you to pay upon check in.
So, contact members services, the phone number is on your reservation letter.
Just let the property owner know that you are calling cause they'll proballly receive a new confirmation letter with the dining plan added.

Thanks Buzz! Everyone seems to think it's a great deal, so i'm in.

Rock on!
