• Dining plan meals and snacks come as a bundle – they’re not sold separately.
• Some dining spots might require theme park admission, so have those tickets handy.
• Operating hours, menus, and entertainment can change like a whirlwind, so stay updated.
• And remember, the Walt Disney World Resort owners work their magic, but some factors are beyond even their control – refurbishing, capacity, weather, and more.

Are You Ready to Dine in Disney Style?
