What is a dining plan ?

Question

For DIsney world

Answer 1

When you book your trip you have the option to choose a "Dining Plan". If you purchase the plan it typically includes lunch, dinner and a snack. I personally have never purchased one but a friend of mine swears by them. Call Disney and ask the price. I suppose it depends what restaurants are available to you with the plan and did you intend to dine there. Good Luck Disney Rocks!

Answer 2

I think a little more information would be helpful, but I will give you this example. We are going to Disney World this summer and we have purchased the dining plan which means that we have two meals and a snack already paid for in advance for each day that we are there.

Answer 3

Are you talking about for Disney World? That is a program in which you pay a certain price at the beginning of your stay and get a certain number of quick service and full service meals in the parks and resorts. You also get additional snacks which can be used for ice cream bars, popcorn, soda, etc. Quick service ones generally use up one meal per person. Full service may require 2 or more depending on which restaurant you want to eat at. Over the years Disney has tried to make the plans simple by adding small icons next to items so people know what they can use their plans for.

Answer 4

The Disney Dining Plan allows you one table service meal, one counter service meal, and one snack for each night of your stay. (There are special cases--some table service meals cost two credits, some more-expensive snacks are excluded, etc.--but most everything else follows the above rules.) The credits are flexible: you can use three table service credits on one day and only counter service credits on another day, or you can save your snacks until the last day.

The plan costs $39 per adult and $11 per child (ages 3 to 9; older kids pay the adult price) per night of your stay. For my family it was a great value: we spent approximately the same as we would have spent anyway, and we had much better food this way. It's not for everyone, but it was great for us.

Answer 5

Sound like you are asking about Pre-Planned and generally Prepaid Food Consumption. Could be a for a Hotel stay, College Dining or?

Answer 6

The only time I've ever heard of this used was in conjunction with college/university on campus living.

You pay a certain amount and get a fixed number of meals per week.

For example, check out Texas A&M University's plans:

They have different numbers of meals, paid for by the semester.

I hope this helps you with your question.
