We booked our package with WDW to include
Free Dining. That is the basic Dining Plan. We decided that we wanted to Upgrade to Dlx Dining (3 meals per day & 2 snacks per day...can be used anytime anyway we like) so I called and WDW upgraded our package for $32 per adult per day and $9.99 per child per day.
Normally the cost of the Dlx Dining Plan is $32
plus the cost of the Basic Dining plan. But during Free Dining you can upgrade for just the cost of the Dlx (you don't pay for the Basic Dining portion as you would normally be required to do).
Hence the great deal we are all going on about...Dlx Dining at Half Price!!!
Basic Dining Plan includes:
1 Counter Service Credit per day
1 Table Service Credit per day
1 Snack Credit per day
Deluxe Dining Plan includes:
3 Meals Per Day (counter OR table service) per day
2 Snacks Per Day per day
On either plan you can do the Dining Shows (like Hoop De Doo Review) and Signature Dining (nicer restaurants)...which all require 2 Table Service Credits.
Note: On both plans you have the flexibility of using your credits whenever you want. The Basic Plan has specific credits for either Table or Counter service. The Deluxe Plan your meal credits are interchangeable for either Table or Counter Service (whichever you prefer).
