Try the www.mouseforless.com website. About half way down the page you can click on a link that will bring up the dining plan, what it is all about, and the restaurants that participate in this great plan. Also you can download and make a dining guide that lists all the restaurants that are on the plan and what meals are available- example snack, counter service or table service. This is great tool to use and I have one made for trip next month!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for this information. Am I right in understanding that you have to have a package deal or annual pass to get this dining plan. Is it not available to DVC member?

[mickey]

In order to get either dining plan, you have to have a package that includes resort room and park passes. The park passes can be as little as one day, so if you have an AP, you can do the package with a one day park pass, and get the dining plan for your entire stay.

Right now, DVC members cannot get the dining plan.
