TIP #1: You don’t have to purchase a Dining Plan to get a resort mug. We always get one each stay at about $20 per mug. If you’re staying for at least four nights, I think it’s worth it.
TIP #2: You can trade in dining credits into snack credits. Remember, you can purchase prepackaged snacks that you can take home as gifts.
TIP #3: The best use of your snack credits is during Epcot’s festivals (e.g., Food and Wine, Festival of the Arts, Flower, and Garden, etc.) because of the snack back be $10.
TIP #4: The dining plans come with a lot of food, so if you don’t have a big appetite, it’s probably not worth it.
Have you purchased a Disney Dining Plan? And if so, how did you like it? Was it worth the additional cost? And with that, I hope you’re having a magical day!
