Breakfast at DLP Hotel using Dining Plan

[btmommy]

Can someone please tell me if we can use our Dining Plan (half board plus) for Sunday brunch at the DLP hotel if we are staying at the DLP Hotel? Also, with the dining plan/hotel stay, is it a buffet or more continental breakfast that is included when staying at DLP Hotel. Our agent wants us to do the dining plan, and we really want to do the brunch on Sunday, but aren't sure how much we are going to eat or if the dining plan is cost worthy. Thank you in advance for feedback.

The dining plans are rarely worth getting at DLP unless you get them free.
Im not sure if you can use it for the brunch or not but it wouldn't cover the whole cost if you could so would still have to pay some towards it.

The breakfast that is included at all the DLP hotels are buffet breakfasts but only the DLH and NY include hot items (as well as the CL type rooms e.g. Golden Forest).
The hot items are sausages, eggs, bacon, potatoes, tomatoes, pancakes, waffles as well as various cereals, croissants, pains au chocolate, other pastries, bread, ham, cheese, jams, fruit, yoghurts etc

Disney reeeaaaalyy push the dining the plan, its a guaranteed source of revenue for them. You pay for meals before you go, so Disney dont really care if you use all the vouchers or not. Most trip reports I have read where people get the meal plan, they dont use all the vouchers.Also not all the restaurants are included, the restaurants in Disney Village such as Earl of Sandwich, Rainforest Cafe, Planet Hollywood dont accept the vouchers. The meal plan vouchers are Disney's way of making sure that you spend your money in Disney owned restaurants. Also when you use the vouchers, you eat from a set menu, starter, meal, dessert, which has less choice than the al a carte menu. People end up choosing food or restaurants to get the value out of the voucher,not necessarily the food or amount they actually want to eat. You dont need a meal plan for breakfast, its included in all the hotel and park ticket packages.

I have been 3 times to Disneyland Paris and I never get the dining plan. I fill up at breakfast, which gets me to lunch time, I have a small lunch and then a main meal in the evenings. On my last trip a few weeks ago, I didnt have a big meal one evening, I just had something small, the same as I did at lunch.


Most likely your agent will get a commission if you take it!

I have stayed at Santa Fe, Sequoia Lodge and Disneyland Hotel. The standard room breakfast in all hotels EXCEPT Disneyland Hotel is a continental buffet

• selection of cheese and cold meats
• selection of yoghurt and fruit
• selection of cereal
• selection of bread for toasting and pastries
• tea, coffee, fruit juices

The standard room breakfast in Disneyland Hotel has all the above with the following hot items

• hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs
• bacon and veal sausages
• English baked beans
• American pancakes and maple syrup

Also the Hotel New York provides hot items for breakfast for standard rooms as well.

I purposely did not put this into my post as I have seen talk on-line about this changing. I did not want to say for definite that Hotel New York has the hot breakfast items in the standard breakfast buffet, just in case that that they have been removed. It is better for people to get a surprise at breakfast then to have people EXPECT the hot items
