Preminum/Platinum plans

Can someone give me an explanation of these?

They're not dining plans per se, but rather all-inclusive resort packages. Being two different plans, there are obviously different inclusions, but in general they provide unlimited and pre-paid access to resort amenities, such as golf, tennis, boating, horseback or carriage rides, etc., and even some of the child care services (kid's clubs) and in-room babystitting (Platinum only).

They also contain a dining component which can essentially be thought of as "DxDP on steroids". Like DxDP, they include 3 meal credits and 2 snack credits per person per night, however, all meals cost only 1 credit (even signature meals, dinner shows, CRT, and the like), and additional restaurants are included (Portobello's, Fulton's, RFC, even Victoria and Albert's on Platinum).

The costs are higher than DxDP, accordingly.

In the "Everything you always wanted to know" sticky thread on this forum, there are links to the brochures for the 2010 Premium and Platinum package plans.

They are not Disney dining plans - they're not available to DVC members staying on points or in a ticketless annual passholder package. You also can't upgrade a free Disney Dining plan to either premium or platinum. If the links still work, the brochures will outline all offerings for each type of plan.

The offerings have not changed for 2011 - just the prices. The prices for 2011 are listed at the bottom of the first post of the sticky thread.
