Disney Dining Vouchers

[3Minnies1Mickey]

Preface: I know they aren't a money saver, but my friend is getting a free trip including food so we are guessing this would be what they're getting. We are trying to figure out what exactly you get with the 3 day plan and dollar value for adults and children. If anyone that's done this recently can give me some details I'd really appreciate it. She wants to see if they'd need to plan for extra food money. Also any stipulations on where you can or can't use any vouchers (ex. Can an extra character meal voucher be used for a CS meal?)

I think I read the snacks are $5. Wondering if the character meal vouchers are regular, premium or a mix. I also read somewhere about "breakfast in the park" vouchers.

As for the character meal vouchers, you can use them for their dollar amount value at other restaurants, it doesn't have to be a character meal. That's not a bad idea if they aren't interested in three character meals because two people can eat for the value of a character meal ($32 I think).

Basically go to this link and look at the dollar cost of each plan. For planning purposes, that's exactly how much money they will get in vouchers. http://bookdlr.reservations.disney....strPageName=2011_Guest_STD_DiningOption_PopUp
