breakfast with dining plan?

[spa101]

I keep reading mixed reviews about the dining plan. I am very confused. Some things say you can use your meals toward breakfast and others say excluding breakfast. So which one is it? Also can you do buffets and all you can eat with the dining plan? We are staying at AKL in Feb and I was wondering if you can use the dining plan in those restraunts.

You can use your dining plan for any meal you would like. We used it for lunch and dinner since we don't eat a lot at breakfast. You should be able to go out to the disney.com website and get a list of restaurants that will take the dining plan. We did the Luau with our dining plan and that is an all you can eat dinner, so I assume dinner and buffets are included.

I just got back from the Pop using the plan I was able to order breakfast in the food court (bagel egg sandwich, muffin and poweraide) as a couter service and I used a table service at Donald's Character Buffet in the Animal Kingdom

At Mara (the food court) you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. These are considered counter service meals.

Boma has a buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. These count as one table service meal.

Jiko only serves dinner. This is a signature restaurant, which requires two table service points.

Yes you can use them for breakfast buffets. My dad was on the dining plan this last trip and we used them at Chef Mickeys and Cape May. We also used them for dinner at Boma.

the "excluding breakfast" verbiage in the official wdw dining docs comes after the section on what is included in a CS meal [entree, side, beverage, dessert (excluding breakfast)] and refers only to the dessert portion of the prose...

when we were at wdw in aug/sept, we were able to get "dessert" w/our breakfast, which ended up being breakfast for another family member (i.e. we'd get the breakfast platter of eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuit and get a bagel as "dessert" and the bagel would be someone's meal)... that is no longer being permitted... which really, is no big deal, imo, and the dining plan is still a bargain if you have a family of eaters!
