Limited menu for dining plan????

[inluvwithfla]

I am ready to book my vacation and was thinking of doing the dining plan. However, I was wondering if there is a special menu at each restaurant for those on the plan, or do you get your pick of the regular menu.

Just didnt want to be surprised if we got there and they handed us a "special" menu from which to choose from. That would be a disappointment and don't know if it would be worth it.

Thanks!!!

You can eat off the regular menu at all the restaurants that participate in the MYW Dining plan.

I highly recommend it.

There are specific restaurants that participate but not special menus.
(At least thats what I a read on these boards)

I think there may be restrictions concerning lobsters.

Thank you all for your replies. My decision has been made!! It sounds like a great deal.

There are no restrictions concerning lobster. In fact, my wife and I ate at Coral Reef Rest last week, and were told that with the MYW Plan, we could order a regular entree AND add a lobster tail, steak or crab cake for free....WOW !!

What did you think of the Coral Reef Restaurant?? I hear mixed things. Im trying to put together our dining plans now.........

Have you been to Ohanas?

I've been reviewing the dining plan and find the sit down restaurants are a great deal but the counter service places that are participating is very limited. It is holding me back from adding the plan. There are very few counter service places that have opted into the plan; and fewer still the really good counter service places. I hope that disney increases the number of participating restaurants before our Dec trip!

We also opted for the dining plan and are really excited. I think it's going to be a major plus for us. Last year we spent a fortune on food and didn't do anything but counter services and food court because of the price of the sit down restaurants so we are really looking forward to this.

Personally, I did not like the food at Coral Reef. It was bland and the lobster tail was fried, i think, and it was very difficult to get out of the shell. It was very dry.

The atmosphere and the setting was great.

Ohana's was good for me, I am a big meat lover. Food was good, plenty of it, atmosphere great, we watched Wishes from our Table, and they have games for the kids (coconut races and hula hooping)
