In the last post, I spoke about staying on site and one of the advantages is being able to purchase the meal plan. Is it a good deal to purchase the meal plan is one of the biggest questions I get asked in regard to planning a Walt Disney World vacation. In the next post, I will speak specifically to the cost of the meal plan and whether it may or may not be worth it. However, in this post, I will discuss the actual plans and what are the differing dining options.
There are actually three different dining plans. The first plan is the quick service plan and that allows you to get 2 quick service meals and 2 snacks per night of your stay. The second plan is the dining plan in which you get 1 table service meal, 1 quick service meal, and 2 snacks per night. The deluxe dining plan allows you to get 3 meals (either quick service or table service) and 2 snacks per night. All three meal plans allow for one refillable mug that can be used for the length of the stay.
A quick service meal allows for the purchase of a combo meal or a meal and a drink. Quick service meals are generally things like cheeseburgers or chicken strips.
I generally break down table service meals into 2 categories: buffet/family style options or sit down dinners. Many of the buffet/family style options include character experiences (one of my personal favorites is Chef Mickey's--which is in the Contemporary Resort with views of the monorail.) Many of the sit down dinners (where you order from a menu) do not include character experiences.
There are some special dining experiences (such as dining at Cinderella's Royal Table) that require 2 table service credits.
