I can’t see anyone purchasing the new dining plan out of pocket. I can only see people taking it when it’s offered in lieu of a room discount.
2016 was before the changes - only one snack but dessert with each meal.Originally you got desserts with QS and 2 snacks.
This was back 2009-2011. They dropped to 1 snack in 2012.2016 was before the changes - only one snack but dessert with each meal.
The counter-service meals consist of:
- two counter-service meals per person, per night
- one snack, per person per night
- a refillable drink mug
- 1 entrée or complete combo meal
- 1 dessert
- 1 single-serving, non-alcoholic beverage
2017 was when changes began ... no desserts but increased snack to two

Then in 2018 was when they introduced alcoholic beverages and other drinks to plan.
Everyone on the same reservation has to have the same package. It’s all or nothing.Can you purchase for your child alone?
I believe that the dining package has to be purchased for everyone on your reservation.Can you purchase for your child alone?
I'm curious about this usage of the word "under" as well, does that mean that is the maximum possible cost for a day and the price is fluctuating? Weekends, holidays cost more? Has anyone actually been able to price anything yet?
Sorry forgot to quote @mgarbowski's post from above
I see in some other threads a few people are posting about being able to book for 2024 and some have shared their numbers with/without dining, but nobody has broken down the pricing as yet. I'm so eager to know ....I feel like this might be what's happening, but the system imploded so nobody can book/price anything right now.
Yes, I was able to go in this morning and do a mock reservation. It’s $94.28 per day per adult for the DP and $57.01 per day/adult for the QS. The “under” must have been a typo. It is exactly these amounts, including tax. I saw reports of people putting in different dates than I have and still getting these numbers.I'm curious about this usage of the word "under" as well, does that mean that is the maximum possible cost for a day and the price is fluctuating?

Wasn't alcohol always included? When we went in 2019, it was included. So like at Woody's lunchbox I got an adult lemonade instead of a soda and it was included.I find it annoying that alcohol is included. It's just an excuse to raise the price.
From a post above, alcohol was added to the plans in 2018.Wasn't alcohol always included? When we went in 2019, it was included. So like at Woody's lunchbox I got an adult lemonade instead of a soda and it was included.
Thank you for confirming. Also.... I'm very jealous as I would love to be able to make a mock reservationYes, I was able to go in this morning and do a mock reservation.

No, I went in 2018 and it included 2 snacks, we went home with a bagful!This was back 2009-2011. They dropped to 1 snack in 2012.
But in 2018 you didn't get dessert with QS. From 2009-2011 you got desserts with QS meals AND 2 snacks. In 2012 they kept the desserts with QS, but dropped to 1 snack. At some point they took away the desserts, but went back up to 2 snacks. Now it's no desserts and 1 snack.No, I went in 2018 and it included 2 snacks, we went home with a bagful!
