The Disney Dining Plan is back!! Here is a guide to tell you exactly how to do it and what to get to make it a must do EVERY trip. This includes table service and quick service dining. Nobody else is telling you these real tips so I just have to do it myself. Enjoy!
*You MAY be able to add on the dining plan WITHOUT being a dvc member/renter or an Annual Passholder by calling Disney Guest Services (not available to add-on online). This is especially good for those of you that want to add an extra childrens dining plan without a child*

If you want to add the child credit without an actual child, you have to book or rent DVC since a ticket/package is not required to add the dining plan when you are staying DVC

I got the Dining Plan for my 4-5 night visit in March. I used the Table Service for the Character Dining and usually got alcohol; usually that would be around $75 for one meal.
My first meal was at the Irish place in Disney Springs. I got the steak since I like steak and it was one of the more expensive items, and got a watermelon lime hard cider. For dessert, I got the bread pudding, which was good, but my stomach was full so I didn't finish it.
Overall, I liked having it. My next visit is in July; I'm getting the quick service plan since I don't have any table service restaurants that I am wanting to visit.
I didn't use the refillable mug except when I was leaving the resort and returning, but even that meant I used it around 8-10 times during my stay, which is worth it.
Great video, thanks!
I figured out split stay years ago - it's an awesome way to maximize the dining plan!
Are you sure you can have the mug active for your split stay over the two lots of days ? A friend of ours goes to Disney World every year with her family and she said it’s hit and miss on whether a cast member will let you have it extended for the second lot of your stay?
Idk why you roasting the polite pig has me laughing so much. You’re for real, though.
😂 I didn’t really notice until you mentioned it. It’s true though!
Omg! I do! Me and my family love The Polite Pig! We literally say we can't wait to go eat there! 😂 even when we don't have the dining Plan and pay out of pocket
This is an awesome video. I'd love you to do a video on the best quick service places to hit up at each park and Disney Springs.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I am definitely working on it as I have a trip coming up in a couple weeks and will show first hand use of it too :)
Ohhhhhh the split stay dining plan -golden!!💛💛💛💖💖💖
We do in fact get excited to eat at The Polite Pig on our Disney Springs day 😅
🙈 😂 I’m so glad you commented because I want to ask you questions! As some who looks forward to eating there, would that be the first place you would recommend someone on vacation go to and eat on their day Disney Springs day?
You are correct. You are the only one who has explained it
Thanks so much for the great insight! I had not considered the utility in doing a split-stay.
You are very welcome!
This is a once in a lifetime vacation for us (we live in AZ) And our first time going to WDW. I Wish I found this video before booking my 6 night stay in July! We purchased the DDP with table service (3 adults/one 18 yr old who obviously can’t purchase the alcohol) and after your video I’m realizing I shouldn’t have done that 🤦🏻♀️probably lost $ on that decision.
Oh first time is so exciting! No, don’t worry about it, especially your first time going. It’s very convenient to have it the whole time which is also how we did our first trip and wouldn’t change a thing. Where are you guys staying? I have a table service guide video coming out soon that should help.
@@disneyworldvacationer Thank you- that makes me feel better! I did learn from you NOT to waste table credit on places that require 2 credits-and also a better value if you do lunch or dinner instead of breakfast for table service-not worth it! I changed a few character dining reservations. You have a lot of great tips. We are staying @ Century Pop- I hear July is HOT! We are used to 110 degree heat seeing we are from AZ, but the humidity is something we aren’t used to-would love some tips on that! LOL
The fish and chips tip alone is awesome! Thanks!
You are very welcome! Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Do you have to get an adult meal too? Or can you just get a child’s?
@@jessicaroussey-zr3ql You can tell them which credit you want to use. Just make sure you don’t order the alcoholic beverage and specify you want to use this for your child / child credit.
@@jessicaroussey-zr3ql you can just use a child credit without ordering an adult meal. I did mostly that on the food I ordered in these videos czcams.com/video/c0LTqY_KAvQ/video.htmlsi=OODUg4lcL26-5TJA
Can you add a child service plan onto a Disney room for a 13yo? They don’t eat adult portions. Or can you only add a random child credit with DVC points?
No, the child cannot be older than 9 when the trip begins to qualify for the children’s dining plan. There is a option you have if you are doing the quick service dining plan though:
Since everyone on the room reservation needs to have the dining plan, Keep your childs name off the room but add a fake childs name & choose a lower age. Then call disney to add the dining plan without having to purchase tickets for the fake child (can only be done through the phone). If you have dvc points or are renting dvc from someone, this can be done without calling disney, online through the dvc owners access. Keep in mind, if you do this, your child wont be able to take advantage of the extra magic hours since his name is not on the room , however, they MIGHT be able to add his name to the room at the front desk when you arrive even though he doesn’t have the dining plan. There are alot of details to it, but if you are doing the plan for more than a day or two, the savings will be substantial.
A persons’ comment on here is so aggressive how people dine and what they can afford is up to them. Telling people they r wrong and moving their affordable is rude and non of your business. We enjoy split stays and we are DVc and travel two weeks a year.. it doesn’t show u can’t afford it it shows you want different experiences. Different perspectives are of value as long as they r respectful. I like how you are different from reviews.
Do you know if you can use a kid credit for a higher end snack that doesn’t qualify, for example, the Nutella fruit waffle and if so would you then get to pick a beverage? Or does it have to be an entree like the chicken waffle sandwich?
Yes! The nutella fruit waffle (my favorite) CAN be purchased with a childs quick service credit but NOT as a snack credit (it is considered an entree just like the chicken n waffle sandwich). So yes, you would also get a beverage as well. The funnel cakes are the snack qualifying items at sleepy hollow.
Can you share more snacks during the Epcot garden festival if you can when the time comes please!
Absolutely! That is my favorite festival and it’s also during my next trip! Once Disney releases the menus, I will update you with the best picks.
The time has come! Here is the Garden Festival snack guide 😊 czcams.com/video/NQnBXCJSUYE/video.htmlsi=4mLqNZwxmZe3tWBm
The last time I used DDP was 2011. Can you still just purchase a 1 day park ticket or length of stay ticket with a 9 night hotel stay? AND do have to have a magic band? (I prefer the card.) 🤔🤔
Magicband is NOT required. The hotel gives you a card at your request and the mydisneyexperience app can be used through your smartphone as your digital “key to the world” card. The website states ticket required for length of stay but I’m hearing you can book just a room online and then CALL in Disney guest services to add the dining plan WITHOUT tickets which then allows you to add any amount of days ticket you would like. 👍
How do you add a child without getting them a ticket? Isn't the ticket required to get the dining plan?
**UPDATE: I’m hearing you CAN add a child dining plan WITHOUT tickets if you call Disney Guest Services (not online) to add it on**
Original Response: If you have DVC (you own or rent from someone or company) or you have a annual pass, no ticket purchase is required. Otherwise, yes, ticket is needed.
UPDATE: I’m hearing you CAN add a child dining plan WITHOUT tickets if you call Disney Guest Services (not online) to add it on
Under 3 your child would just eat off your plate, but they would Still get a sitting at the table. Disney told me that if I wanted my child to have their own plate while eating then I would have to purchase them a plate, separate from plan.
@@tamikaredmon2483 What a stupid rule. Which location told you they can’t give your child an empty plate? A buffet?
@@disneyworldvacationer Disney representative
I am surprised the cookie box qualifies as a snack: in the general description of the snack credit it says it excludes items that are multiple servings. I would not be surprised if it changes in the future.
Same here. The dining plan is so new in it’s return, they are still updating signage of what qualifies but since this was on mobile order it qualified. I wouldn’t be surprised if you ordered it in person and the cast member would say no.
If I have the DP and eat at Ohana with my family of 3 for dinner can I receive 3 specialty cocktail beverages for all of us even though say only me and my wife intend to drink them? Or will they say no because my son is 19 even though he has no intention of drinking it?
@@georgemartinez9693 officially, no, the waiter cannot do that. however, there have been reports of it being done. I would order the drinks and if the waiter asks for ID, then explain you want to drink it. It’s a 50/50 shot depending on your waiter.
Do you happen to know if the kids snack credit is different from the adult snack credit? Can you clearly see in the app what credits are used?
The kids snack credit is exactly the same as the adult snack credit so any age can order any snack and on the receipt and app, it’s all pooled together. So if you have 1 adult snack credit and 1 child snack credit left, it just shows your party has 2 snack credits left. However, for table service and quickservice meals, they are tracked separately for adults and children.
Are you sure you can have the mug active for your split stay over the two lots of days ? A friend of ours goes to Disney World every year with her family and she said it’s hit and miss on whether a cast member will let you have it extended for the second lot of your stay?
Great question. When was the last time they didn’t give her the full 14 days? For me, in 2015 was the last time they programmed the cups just for the length of stay. Since then, every visit I made was the full 14 days. My understanding is it was causing issues to where people wouldn’t even have it covered for their length of stay due to technical issues so they just started doing automatic 14 day activations. Also, if you are selecting coffee or tea, those beverages do not have a cup scanner so they will work no matter what.
They program ur refill mug for 2 weeks a cast member said
How can you use the chips credit as a hack if you don’t have a park ticket for this imaginary child?
And, are you a passholder instead of buying a park ticket? My understanding is in order to have the DDP you need a ticket and a hotel reservation.
Correct, if you are trying to add an extra child dining plan, you will need a ticket or annual pass for that child UNLESS you are renting (or own) a dvc (disney vacation club) room. No package (ticket) requirement in that case. If you haven’t looked into renting DVC, please do. You will save alot of $$ and stay at deluxe hotels. If you do have a child with the dining plan & tickets, use their credit at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop for them AND yourself (you can use ALL their credits in one day if you want or multiple days, there is no limit) then use the adult credits at places that do have kids menus so you can get the adult meals at those locations.
Have you been into the parks yet to confirm if all of these items are allowed on the plan? I’ve heard some drinks aren’t included that are on the menus…??
Great question! Yes I have confirmed all my recommended items are allowed on the plan. You are correct in hearing not all drinks are included. Those are the ones that are served in a souvenir container or are more than 1 serving. However, alot of places will give you a modified version of that drink without the container. For example, in my video when I recommended Ohana, I picked the backscratcher as my drink. I did not pick the Lapu because it comes in a pineapple which is considered a “souvenir container” BUT they will give you that drink in a glass instead of in a pineapple.
If memory serves me right, I was told the drink cost was capped at $15. However, I could be mistaken or could have been told incorrect information.
Is there a way to change my reservation to split stay if we already book the full reservation?
Typically you can modify your reservation if you are 30 days or more from your trip. There can be alot of variables depending on if you booked dvc, or package directly from disney with tickets, etc. But most cases, 30 days or more, you can modify or cancel and rebook. Best way to do the split stay is to get the dining plan on the first part of your trip with tickets (if you don’t have an annual pass).
Can I have breakfast at Ohana?
Yes. Its $49 for breakfast vs $62 for dinner, so if you are debating which one to do on the dining plan, you get more for your credit at dinner.
Can your hack be used at table service meals? 🤔🤔
No UNLESS you get the food to go ;) The Ohana dinner kids portion is ALOT of food to go, which I know they do for a fact, so that would be a great use of it. But I haven’t tried to order to go at other table service locations. Alot of places, especially in the theme parks don’t let you order to-go. However, I think if you have a reservation, then you explain to them you are just getting food for your son/daughter to-go, they will tell you we can’t box it up but you can sit, order, we bring you the food, and boxes, and you can do it like that. Hit or miss but worth try.
What other QS places don't have a children's menu? I know of the Yorkshire fish, Sleepy Hollow, Casey's Corner and BB Wolfe, but what are the others? Thanks
Jose Andres at Disney Springs. I have to double check but I think the food trucks at DS may not either. I’ll take a deeper look soon and update you. Right now I’m working on the snack options for Epcots Flower & Garden Festival 🌸
@@disneyworldvacationerlooking forward to the snack options video!
@@theduchainefam8049snack options for the Epcot Flower And Garden Festival is up 😊 czcams.com/video/NQnBXCJSUYE/video.htmlsi=4mLqNZwxmZe3tWBm
I’m confused
Let me know what I can clarify!
Very strange criticism of The Polite Pig. It's one of very few Disney World restaurants featured in the Michelin Guide, receiving a Michelin Plate award. Comments like that undermine your credibility, not to mention reveal your bad taste.
They could’ve put it in the Goodyear guide too, Wouldn’t change my opinion. If you are going to pick the places you eat at WDW based on that guide, you would miss eating at The Boathouse, Homecomin, Via Napoli, Ohana, and many more of peoples favorites. Comments like this reveal your lack of confidence to trust your own judgement of the world you experience, not to mention your ignorant stance that everyone who doesn’t agree is wrong.
@@disneyworldvacationer Ah, not much of a reader eh? My guy you were the one dumping on EVERYONE ELSE recommending The Polite Pig in your video. But it's universally recommended for a reason. There are a ton of great dining options at Disney World, some of which you mentioned. Polite Pig is a standout among them, according to everyone but you. It's worth the trip to Disney Springs in and of itself.
@@Danakin8 I never attacked them and said they have bad taste as you have. In fact, I justified why they are recommending it and why I am not. It’s actually NOT a standout among the restaurants at Disney Springs. The only time it comes up is when the dining plan is in the conversation, because of its high price as a counter service option. If you love it, great. And I won’t say you have bad taste in ANY of your selections. But if you come to me for recommendations, the Polite Pig will not be one of them.
As someone that loves Polite Pig, I did not feel attacked. I laughed because I find it funny how we all have different views and preferences. This comment is so aggressive for no reason!

I COMPLETELY disagree with you that using a gift card is BS! Also, split stay is nothing but a hassle and if you only want to have it for a day or two just tells me you really can’t afford it to begin with! 😂 So, sir, I’d suggest you watch your opinions because you sure do have a lot of them which are absolutely nonsense!!!
Belittling and laughing because someone can’t afford something shows your true character. WDW is an expensive vacation and laughing at anyone who couldn’t afford it only results in making yourself look bad. Take it from me, a DVC owner. Convince me that using a gift card instead of your bankcard isn’t BS so your comments sole existence wasn’t just to display your arrogance.
@@disneyworldvacationermy comment stands!
Why would I use A gift card if my CC gives me cash back every single time a swipe 😂 pff
