Disney Dining Plan - The original plan

The basic Dining Plan or DDP entitles each guest to receive 1 Table Service (TS) credit, Quick Service or Counter Service (CS) credits and 1 Snack credit per nights' stay.

2009 Disney Dining Plan PDF

Cost
Regular dining plan:
$39.99 per guest 10 and older and
$10.99 per child 3-9 years old
The price for the basic Dining Plan is per night of stay. The basic Dining Plan price includes tax but does not include most gratuities. The Dining Plan must be purchased for everyone registered on the reservation for the entire length of the reservation.


Included in the plan

Counter Service
Each Counter Service (or Quick Service) Credit includes one of the following:
Breakfast: Juice, Entrée, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR one Combo Meal, Non-alcoholic beverage

Lunch: Entrée, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR one Combo Meal, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage

Dinner: Entrée, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR one Combo Meal, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage
Table Service
Each Table Service meal on the Regular Dining Plan includes one of the following:
Breakfast: Juice, Entrée, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR One full buffet

Lunch: Entrée, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR One full buffet

Dinner: Entrée, Dessert, Non-alcoholic beverage
OR One full buffet

WDW CS children’s menus usually consist of an entrée and two “sides” that may be selected from a list, which generally includes:
  • fresh fruit
  • fresh vegetables
  • sugar free gelatin
  • applesauce
  • french fries if you request them,
  • cookies, pudding or ice cream

Children on the dining plan are entitled to select an entrée and two of these “sides” – but one “side” counts as dessert. (They do not get to choose two “sides” plus a dessert.)

Children’s desserts are not comparable to adult desserts at CS. There are numerous complaints from parents who feel their younger children are upset by the fact that they have to order smaller desserts while older members of the party get larger, more standard desserts. If you want regular desserts at CS for your child age 3-9, the options are
1) purchase an extra dessert
2) use a snack credit to get an extra dessert
3) use the child’s CS credits at restaurants that do not have a separate children’s menu, some of which offer regular size desserts
4) share your dessert with your child
