Meal vouchers for disneyland california

[doozerdoo]

I have purchased the three day meal plan, my question is can I use several at a time? There is three of us on this plan ( 3 sets of cvouchers) so we would like to eat a nice meal also so I know I will not get change but want to use up all of the vouchers and the rest cash. ( burgers and frys 6.99 5.00 voucher and 1.99 in cash. but if we all get the same meal can we use several vouchers at a time? thanks

Hi

Yes you can use several meal vouchers at a time to have a better meal.

Is there any actual savings to using the meal plan or is it the convenience of having it pre-paid?

can the vouchers be used basically anywhere?

What are the "park breakfasts" considered?

It's pretty much just the convenience of having it paid in advance.

The vouchers can be used anywhere in the parks and resort hotels.

It changes sometimes it is at Buzz Lightyear's in Tomorrowland, other time it's Taste Pilots Grill in DCA. It's actually a good breakfast. You get a choice of platters. There's a traditional breakfast like eggs, bacon, toast, etc. There's a fruit platter. A French toast platter. Of course this is all subject to change

The bigger the plan you get, the bigger your savings. When we used them two years ago, they were like using money, sort of. They are good for the value printed on them, and you don't get change. So, for instance, if we had a meal that cost $11, we would use two $5 vouchers and pay $1 in cash to get the most out of them. If you're careful, you can use them all and get a pretty good deal. However, there are some drawbacks. Depending on what time of year you go, you may not be able to use some vouchers. We went in October, and breakfast was not available at the park during the week--if we hadn't visited on Friday, we would not have been able to use our breakfast vouchers; also, the majority of the snack stands were closed, preventing us from being able to use our snack vouchers. The good news is that because it was off-season, the park Cast Members were willing to let us use the snack vouchers at the regular restaurants. We lived frugally on a four-day meal plan for four people, using only the vouchers (plus a small amount of cash) and eating only at the park, and had so many left over that on day five we had to eat at the more expensive restaurants in order to use them up.

My husband loved the meal plan, I found it a little stressful trying to make sure that they all got used. But he's a low-stress person, and I'm a high-stress worrier.

Blackunicorn - that makes me nervous! I was planning on perhaps adding the 4 day dining plan to a package but if lots of places closed that might make it difficult. With a little guy in tow was planning on doing some of the carts and stuff. Now I'm wondering if I should bother?

 

[Blackunicorn]

Well, do keep in mind that I go in September, while it looks like you're going in February. I don't know what it's like in February, because we always go in September. Also, we didn't find that many of the restaurants were closed, just the carts. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! We were able to use all of our vouchers, but it did take some work, including a little bit of "networking" to find out how to use the vouchers for things like breakfast (the park was only open for breakfast on Friday, so we asked around until someone was willing to take the voucher for lunch). I will add that, because Disney is supposed to be all about providing a good show, it does seem pretty easy to find someone who will help you out of just about anything.

I think the meal plan is great. We used them last Nov. for a 7 day plan. I feel we saved money on the total of our food, and it was real convenient. I like to pre-pay, so I don't have to worrie. And I mite add, we ate real well. All the breakfast restaurants honered all the coupons. When we are there next Aug, we are buying the meal plan again.

So with the 4 day plan we get a character bkft and a lunch plus a bkf in the park. I believe the Plaza is closed for renos when we are there so can't go there.

Which would be the best place for bkft and the best for lunch?

Where would be the bkft in the Park? We won't be there on a weekend - probably Mon, Wed and the second week Mon, Tues.

Didn't buy my DS a dining plan as only 17 mo. He will get into the buffets free. WOuld we have enough vouchers to buy him meals?I guess he can share some of ours but he is a big eater so plan on buying some kids meals. Taking snacks into the park and have a fridge in the room so perhaps he won't eat too much at mealtime.

our fav place to eat breakfast, was goofy's kitchen. We ate there atlest 2 times. Had a ball, and they let us use the breakfast in park coupons. We just had to pay the differance.

In case you didnt know they dont expire. I bought vouchers for a week long trip in may, used some for my june weekender and still have enough left for a short stop next week and I may be able to sqeeze another short trip out of them. IMPO they are very conveniant and a nice value.

Can one buy these vouchers without staying at one of the DL hotels? We bought the Quick & Casual vouchers for our trip to WDW last year without staying onsite & love them. TIA!

You can purchase them through Disney's ticket mail oreder, but you have to buy at least one of your park tickets through them.
Its the only way I know of to bypass the package deal.
here is the number ( 714- 781-4043 )

The snack vouchers do not have to be used at the carts. They are basically just $5 vouchers, but you have to read the fine print. The $10 & $15 vouchers clearly state their amounts. We just came back and had the 5 day plan. It was very easy to use and we did mix them to meet our needs and not follow their guidelines. We used the Breakfast in the Park ones at Carnation Cafe. We were able to use all but two of our vouchers for the week (both breakfast ones).
