This was a continually updated post on the Dining Plan, and that is why it is being added to.
We have been loyal Disney Dining people for some time. During this trip we have obtained the prices for what we ate. We also show you what the dining plan costs for the day.
The dining plan costs $41.99 per adult per night, and $11.99 per child per night. This is a total of $94 per night.
We spent @$780 for the dining plan this trip.

I would hope that you see that the dining plan is well worth the money. If you are going to Disney, and don’t want to worry about large bills at your meals, then this is for you.

If you have any questions about Disney, dining, or anything then feel free to ask, and I will be glad to help you get things planned correctly. I am not a travel agent, or compensated by Disney in any manner. I just happen to know a lot about Disney that most people overlook. If you want to be able to vacation in Disney, and other places, then let me know, and I can guide you through Disney Vacation Club. JMarsden92@Comcast.Net.

For the last many years when we go away to Disney World we have gotten the Disney Dining Plan. What is the dining plan you ask. Well, the dining plan is a way to not have to worry about cash, or actual cost of the meal. It is a very simple way of life while in Disney World. There are many different dining plans available. Prices vary, and different options come with each one. Each of the food dining plans is based per night of your reservation. You cannot take it for a portion of your stay. You must take it for the entire duration.
When we go we generally go on the Disney Dining plan. We eat like kings, and queens. We regret it when we get home, but you only live once, and we can’t get Disney food at home. I mean I wish I could, but my wife is definitelly no Disney chef. We always say that not even the best weight loss supplement could help in Disney World.
Counter meals are meals that you go to the counter to get your food.
We recommend places like “The Pepper Market” to get the most for your dollar.
Table meals are meals that you sit down, and you are served fully.
Make your reservations as soon as possible, as locations book quickly.
The refillable mug is for use at your resort.
Click on the dining you are interested in to see the Official Disney brochure.
Side Note…
Prices can vary based on time of year. Check prices before booking.
Here are some notes…
From the Disney Files publication…
“…Wishes will require Members to pay for their Disney Dining Plan upon booking (rather than upon check-in), and Member making cash reservations must pay for one night plus tax upon booking.”
and from DVCMember.Com (The DVC Member website)…
“Members who don’t wish to pay in advance will still have the option of adding their Disney Dining Plan to their reservation as many as 48 hours prior to arrival and paying for the plan just prior to the start of their vacation.”

Have you ever heard someone say anything about “Deck 9″ on a Disney Cruise? Well, if you have, and have never understood why it is talked about so much I will tell you. Deck 9 has all the swimming pools, jumbo screen, smoking areas, party area, and lots of FOOD. When you want something to eat while you are roaming the boat, or just about anytime you just go to Deck 9, and get it. The locations are open for a good portion of the day, and night.
This being said I think that when we take our next cruise in 2011 we are going to have to invest in the best weight loss supplement that money can buy. When we go on the Disney Cruise we eat like kings, and queens. The food is absolutelly delicious. There are special parties on the boat that have late night eating too.
Below is a photo I found on Google showing the desert table from one of the Pirate parties.
Eating in the dining rooms is nice to do, but nothing beats a good “all you can eat” area. I think that just about everyone in my family that has gone on the Disney Cruise could say the same thing about the food on the cruise… “It is good food, and helps everyone gain a bit of weight.”
Have you been on a Disney Cruise? Did you find Deck 9 to be the best for just casual eating?

I have posted many ways for a person to save money in Disney World. I have posted how to use some of the Disney programs to their fullest potential. Most people know that eating in Disney will pretty much clean out your wallet. If you know what you are doing, then you go on the dining plan. There is also the option of snacks while vacationing. Well, for those of you that just “WON’T” budge and spend money on the food in Disney I have part of the solution.
Recently we got to try out a product called GoPicnic. What they have to offer are prepackaged meals. They come in a variety of foods, and types.
The most recent one we had was the Anywhere Break. We all found the meal to be better than expected. The food also seemed fresh.
It came packaged with:
Jack Link’s Beef Steak Nuggets
Corazonas Squeeze of Lime Tortilla Chips
Ortega Mild Chunky Salsa
Copper Cowbell White Cheddar Cheese Slice
Mariani Dried Cranberries
Mrs May’s Cashew Nut Crunch
Swiss Delicato Dark Chocolate
The meal prices vary, but can save considerable for a larger family. These are also good for families that want to control what they eat. The only thing you need to get, or supply is a drink.
Some of the meals features such as Gluten Free, and Vegetarian. Kids meals are packaged with temporary tattoos. All are prepared with NO TransFat.
Eating GoPicnic is a good way to manage money. Eating GoPicnic won’t even require you to take any special compounds / diet pills like Clinicallix.
For an additional 15% savings code email me directly. You probably will not find this code available in most places.

When we go away to Disney we try to fit in some meals while we are in the parks. This saves us some time by not having to go back to our room to cook. Occassionally we try out something new that we haven’t done at all, or in many years.
Morrocco…While the bellydancing was nice, the food was just not my cup of tea. I should have taken appetite suppressants. Maybe it was the spices that made me not like it.
Germany…I have always thought that Bratwurst was another kielbasa. Boy was I wrong. I let someone else in my party finish that food.
Canada…The steak is superb. The environment is very nice.
USA…Hamburgers & Hotdogs. What else can I say.
Japan…We absolutelly love the show. They have always amazed me how they cook so fast on those tables.
Norway…Breakfast is very nice. I still can’t get used to the powdered eggs. It’s just not right.
France…Haven’t eaten there in a long time. Last time someone tried to get me to eat a snail.
China…I don’t believe we have ever eaten there.
Mexico…Good food in general.
When we used to go as a family with my parents we ate dinner at The Land. We actually found that food very good. They used some vegetables from their own gardens.
