counter service only dining plan

[ejsteg]

I recently spoke with a cast member regarding the 2009 counter service only dining plan. They told me they thought that it will include 2 counter meals and one snack. The price will be "slightly less than $30 for an adult and slightly less than $10 for a child". However, I read somewhere on here that the counter meal was suppose to be 2 meals, 2 snacks and a refillable mug. Does anyone know the correct information?

You're right, and the CM is wrong.

I saw in the 2009 Quick Service brochure that it is 2 meals and 2 snacks per adult, I think it was 29.99. Don't remember the children's price, but the restaurants listed are VERY limited. I was disappointed to see NO locations at Coronado Springs, so we couldn't eat at the Pepper Market. Also, many of the quick service places we wanted to go to in Epcot were not on the list.....

But remember the age old adage here on the boards.

Epcot's food service is contracted out. Typically, they aren't listed on the DDP until you're into the new year, as contracts are renewed.

As a lurker for a few years, this concern comes up every year.

But as my wife can attest, I've been wrong before.

All reports have the counter service plan including, per night of your stay, 2 meals and 2 snacks, plus a refillable resort mug.

The 2009 DDP restaurant list is not final; it does not list any restaurants that are not owned by Disney (Regarding Coronado Springs: Although the resort is owned by Disney, none of its restaurants are, they're contracted out). These restaurants will probably be added later after their contracts are finalized.

I'm new to the boards this year, so I did not know about the contract issue with the restaurants - I'm so relieved!!!

Thanks for the info!
