Dining plan cliffnotes

For those of you that have been on the dining plan in the past, when you check in does Disney give you a little guide as to how it works, etc?

Re: Dining plan cliffnotes

I think they do give you a little booklet that lets you know what restaurants are included and how many credits they use. I have it saved online as a PDF file, and for some reason can't link it here. Sorry!

Re: Dining plan cliffnotes

The last time we traveled they gave us a dining plan flyer at check in. It included the names of all the restaurants involved and their point amount. It also gives a little description of what they are and how to use them.

Re: Dining plan cliffnotes

We did get something at check in too. Just know that as of recent, you have a lot more 'snack' options than may have been previously printed.

Turkey legs as a snack? Can the dining plan get any better?

Re: Dining plan cliffnotes

Of course, you want to make some ADR's before you go. So study for it now. (I just keep that kind of stuff for scrapbooking our vacations.)

Re: Dining plan cliffnotes

I was surprised that we didn't get any dining plan info when we checked in at SSR in May. It was fine because I spend enough time on here that I knew what I needed to know but I would feel sorry for families that didn't really know about it before going. I guess the CM just forgot to give us the papers telling us about it.

I'll be staying at SSR in December...so if they don't give it to me, I'll be sure to ask them for it!

That's good - because even though I've read all the info on it, I'm still nervous about using it. I'm sure to mess it up somehow. Many things confuse me...
