00;00;00;08 - 00;00;04;04
Should you get a Disney dining plan
when you stay at Walt Disney World

00;00;04;04 - 00;00;05;16
Resort Hotel?

00;00;05;16 - 00;00;06;15
Welcome to the podcast.

00;00;06;15 - 00;00;07;07
My name's Martin,

00;00;07;07 - 00;00;11;01
and this week I'll be talking to you
all about the Disney dining plans

00;00;11;08 - 00;00;15;02
and whether they will be right
for you and your trip to Orlando.

00;00;15;05 - 00;00;18;06
So Disney done and plans are coming back
open for arrivals

00;00;18;10 - 00;00;21;10
from the 9th of January 20, 24 onwards.

00;00;21;11 - 00;00;24;18
They will start during COVID
and Disney decides to bring them back.

00;00;24;20 - 00;00;28;26
What exactly is a Disney
dining plan is basically a way

00;00;28;26 - 00;00;33;11
of prepaying for your food
and for drinks as well,

00;00;33;13 - 00;00;36;11
so that you don't have to keep
getting your wallet out every single time

00;00;36;11 - 00;00;39;11
you want to buy something whilst
you're in Orlando.

00;00;39;17 - 00;00;43;09
And a lot of families like to do this
because it means that they have already

00;00;43;09 - 00;00;45;23
paid for. Pretty much
everything was there.

00;00;45;23 - 00;00;48;17
So it means that they don't have to
then save some extra money.

00;00;48;17 - 00;00;50;14
They know they've already paid for it.

00;00;50;14 - 00;00;53;12
So apart
from having to buy the all kinds of things

00;00;53;12 - 00;00;56;12
out of pocket,
pretty much all going to be covered.

00;00;56;13 - 00;00;57;14
Sit back, relax.

00;00;57;14 - 00;00;59;05
Grab yourself a Jeffrey's coffee.

00;00;59;05 - 00;01;02;25
As I explained to you all about the Walt
Disney World Disney

00;01;02;25 - 00;01;06;10
Dining plans, there are two different
Disney dining plans.

00;01;06;10 - 00;01;11;00
You have the Disney quick Service
dining plan and the Disney Dining plan.

00;01;11;02 - 00;01;15;03
They are quite similar names
sometimes, but can get quite confusing

00;01;15;03 - 00;01;19;26
because we generally kind of call them
the Disney dining plans and one of them is

00;01;19;26 - 00;01;23;04
called the Disney Dining Plan,
which makes it a bit confusing.

00;01;23;08 - 00;01;25;26
So we talk about the Disney dining plans.

00;01;25;26 - 00;01;28;11
We're talking about
the two of them together,

00;01;28;11 - 00;01;32;18
and then we're going to go into more depth
as to what is different in each one.

00;01;32;21 - 00;01;35;27
Before we get onto the differences
between the two Disney dining

00;01;35;28 - 00;01;38;28
plans, let's talk
about what exactly the same.

00;01;39;04 - 00;01;43;08
So in each of them
you will get two mills per night

00;01;43;10 - 00;01;46;27
that you stay there and one snack.

00;01;47;00 - 00;01;50;04
We'll talk about what the different meals
you can get a bit later on,

00;01;50;04 - 00;01;54;02
but you're going to be getting
for every single night that you're there

00;01;54;04 - 00;01;56;13
and you're on the Disney dining plan,

00;01;56;13 - 00;02;00;04
you will get two meals
and one snack per night.

00;02;00;05 - 00;02;04;17
So if you're there for ten nights,
you will get 20 meals and ten snacks.

00;02;04;20 - 00;02;07;02
Now you can use these whenever you like.

00;02;07;02 - 00;02;10;10
So if you just want to splurge
and you win your first day,

00;02;10;10 - 00;02;13;18
your first 24 hours, use up all 20 credits

00;02;13;20 - 00;02;17;03
for your meal other than how it of a year,
that's your me as debt.

00;02;17;05 - 00;02;18;10
You can do that. Now.

00;02;18;10 - 00;02;22;09
It's important to know that everyone
who is in the same room

00;02;22;09 - 00;02;25;14
as you needs to take the same Disney
dining plan as you.

00;02;25;19 - 00;02;30;01
So you have people who are on one plan
and people who are on a different plan.

00;02;30;01 - 00;02;32;16
Everyone in that room
needs to take the same plans.

00;02;32;16 - 00;02;36;26
You need to work out what's best
for everyone, not just for one person.

00;02;36;26 - 00;02;39;18
Likewise,
you can't just have it for one person.

00;02;39;18 - 00;02;43;22
Now, if you have two rooms, for example,
say, for example, you're a family of

00;02;43;22 - 00;02;47;12
five or six, so you could be spreading out
and having two rooms.

00;02;47;14 - 00;02;50;04
You don't need to have it for both rooms.

00;02;50;04 - 00;02;52;00
You can have it for just one room.

00;02;52;00 - 00;02;55;25
So for example,
if you wanted to have the quick service

00;02;55;25 - 00;03;00;13
dining plan, all those credits would be
put onto the wristbands.

00;03;00;16 - 00;03;04;05
The Magic band for the room that has it.

00;03;04;08 - 00;03;08;16
So what you could do is if you were,
for example, family of six,

00;03;08;16 - 00;03;14;04
some say two adults and four kids,
you put some of the kids in one room.

00;03;14;06 - 00;03;17;11
So the room that has the Disney
Indian dining will have all the credits

00;03;17;11 - 00;03;19;16
that they want to go and pay for things.

00;03;19;16 - 00;03;22;09
They will be them who it needs
to use their magicband

00;03;22;09 - 00;03;26;07
or their park tickets
to pay for these suites.

00;03;26;07 - 00;03;29;07
One of Orlando gurus,
and they'd be really happy to help

00;03;29;13 - 00;03;32;14
work out
if you need it for every single person.

00;03;32;14 - 00;03;35;27
If you're going to have it for
just one room, for two rooms to speak to,

00;03;35;29 - 00;03;40;16
and they'll be able to help you decide
which is best for you, you explain

00;03;40;16 - 00;03;45;03
that you're going to be getting two meals
per night and one snack per night.

00;03;45;08 - 00;03;48;16
So the snack is the same in on both meal
plans.

00;03;48;18 - 00;03;51;18
Let's talk about the snack
before we get onto the main course.

00;03;51;18 - 00;03;54;25
So when you go to any of the restaurants

00;03;54;25 - 00;03;57;29
of the carts,
you'll see a little logo on there.

00;03;57;29 - 00;04;02;08
And also when if you're ordering
on the mobile ordering app

00;04;02;11 - 00;04;05;26
on the My Disney Experience
app, you do mobile ordering

00;04;05;28 - 00;04;10;20
it will say on there qualifies as a snack
so anything that's on there

00;04;10;24 - 00;04;16;19
so that can be things
like cupcakes funnel cakes,

00;04;16;21 - 00;04;18;13
donuts, popcorn all

00;04;18;13 - 00;04;21;13
that kind of stuff the mickey bars
of course pretzels.

00;04;21;14 - 00;04;25;05
But it could also be, for example,
a bottle of coke.

00;04;25;07 - 00;04;27;01
I personally wouldn't
use it on the bottle of coke.

00;04;27;01 - 00;04;30;06
I think these
but of value to use on other things.

00;04;30;11 - 00;04;33;07
But you can use it on that kind of stuff
if you want to

00;04;33;07 - 00;04;36;04
just be careful when you go to pay for it.

00;04;36;04 - 00;04;39;18
To say that you want sued,
that you pay for it not on your magic

00;04;39;18 - 00;04;43;11
bank is automatically
it will take it off of your credit

00;04;43;13 - 00;04;46;27
if you want to pay for things,

00;04;46;29 - 00;04;49;21
cash or on a card,

00;04;49;21 - 00;04;51;13
that's the best way of doing it
if you don't actually

00;04;51;13 - 00;04;54;01
want to use any of your credits. Okay.

00;04;54;01 - 00;04;57;21
It gets a bit confusing
If you buy, for example,

00;04;57;24 - 00;05;01;11
a funnel cake and a drink cut,
you need some fruit to sit.

00;05;01;14 - 00;05;03;18
But transactions,
if you don't want to be paying

00;05;03;18 - 00;05;05;22
for the drinks using any of your credits.

00;05;05;22 - 00;05;09;03
So this massive selection
that you can choose

00;05;09;03 - 00;05;12;07
from to get rid of these snacks,
lots of the carts around it.

00;05;12;07 - 00;05;14;20
So you can see the cast.
I've got the ice creams on there.

00;05;14;20 - 00;05;17;20
All have the little logos
and be I tell you which ones it is.

00;05;17;26 - 00;05;20;08
Quick service restaurants.
We've all got great snacks.

00;05;20;08 - 00;05;23;16
I had a Wookie cookie in Backlog Express

00;05;23;18 - 00;05;27;07
in Hollywood studio
and that would class as a snack on there.

00;05;27;11 - 00;05;28;21
So it's a great way of prepaying

00;05;28;21 - 00;05;32;23
because you doesn't really
want to have a snack in the afternoon.

00;05;32;25 - 00;05;35;09
Maybe like an ice cream and some popcorn,
some of that.

00;05;35;09 - 00;05;38;05
So that is one of the things
that is included.

00;05;38;05 - 00;05;40;22
So I said, stay for ten nights
and you will get intense.

00;05;40;22 - 00;05;41;22
That credits.

00;05;41;22 - 00;05;44;27
It's also important to note
that all the credits

00;05;44;27 - 00;05;47;27
for that room are all pulled together.

00;05;48;03 - 00;05;52;11
So that means that
if there are two people in the room,

00;05;52;13 - 00;05;56;10
you go the ten nights,
you will get 20 meal

00;05;56;10 - 00;06;00;08
credits per person,
but that's 40 in total.

00;06;00;11 - 00;06;03;15
You also see again
get ten Socrates per person.

00;06;03;22 - 00;06;06;02
So that's 20 snack credits in total.

00;06;06;02 - 00;06;09;26
Now there's nothing stopping one person
using the magic band

00;06;10;00 - 00;06;11;28
and buying 20 snacks all in one go.

00;06;11;28 - 00;06;16;18
You don't have to tap each person's
magic band to pay for it.

00;06;16;18 - 00;06;20;13
It comes off at
the rim. So just be careful

00;06;20;15 - 00;06;23;11
that isn't ten snacks per person.

00;06;23;11 - 00;06;27;03
Literally is how many snacks

00;06;27;05 - 00;06;31;22
per person times about people in the room
and anyone can use those.

00;06;31;28 - 00;06;33;17
So just be careful.

00;06;33;17 - 00;06;36;14
You allowed
the kids do to go and buy stuff

00;06;36;14 - 00;06;40;24
because they can use up your credits
instead of just using their own credits.

00;06;40;24 - 00;06;42;18
It is great because for example,

00;06;42;18 - 00;06;45;24
I know person who not wants
to have a snack in the afternoon,

00;06;46;01 - 00;06;51;18
but the kids might want to have a snack
so they can use my credits towards that.

00;06;51;20 - 00;06;54;09
That's great.

00;06;54;09 - 00;06;56;08
So this also talk about the other
great thing

00;06;56;08 - 00;07;00;29
that you get on both dining plans and
that is one of the resort refillable mugs.

00;07;01;02 - 00;07;07;04
These are worth about $22 each
and every person will get one of those. So

00;07;07;07 - 00;07;08;00
these give you

00;07;08;00 - 00;07;11;24
unlimited soft drinks in your hotel.

00;07;12;00 - 00;07;13;18
They don't work in the theme parks.

00;07;13;18 - 00;07;16;11
They don't work in the parks.
It don't work in Disney Springs.

00;07;16;11 - 00;07;18;08
They just work in the hotels.

00;07;18;08 - 00;07;21;04
They work in the Disney hotels,
they work in any of them.

00;07;21;04 - 00;07;23;16
So if you're staying in, for example,
in pop century,

00;07;23;16 - 00;07;27;07
you can go and use that
in contemporary, for example.

00;07;27;09 - 00;07;30;25
So if you're going
and having a little wander around,

00;07;30;27 - 00;07;31;29
for example, Animal Kingdom,

00;07;31;29 - 00;07;35;08
Great Hotel, it's going to have one there
and you can go and use your resort

00;07;35;08 - 00;07;39;09
refillable mug in Animal Kingdom,
but you happen to be staying

00;07;39;09 - 00;07;42;14
at pop century and vice versa as well.

00;07;42;17 - 00;07;45;01
These are friends tastic
because you're going to get a limited

00;07;45;01 - 00;07;50;22
refills on things at the filter, coffee,
tea, soda, that kind of stuff.

00;07;50;25 - 00;07;54;16
My little tip
is if you're going to have the iced tea

00;07;54;18 - 00;07;57;26
is they have an unsweetened version
and they have a three inch version.

00;07;58;03 - 00;08;01;21
Now the unsweetened version is not great
and the sweetened

00;08;01;21 - 00;08;03;06
version is far too sweet.

00;08;03;06 - 00;08;07;16
So I mix it half and half,
give it a quick shake, and then

00;08;07;19 - 00;08;09;11
have a nice sort of pleasant drink.

00;08;09;11 - 00;08;12;11
So it is really kind of nice
we're doing that.

00;08;12;14 - 00;08;13;20
Give you an example.

00;08;13;20 - 00;08;18;21
A bottle of coke in the park
is about $4.20

00;08;18;23 - 00;08;21;09
$4 birthday.

00;08;21;09 - 00;08;24;15
Now I would say the resourceful mugs,
they're not huge

00;08;24;18 - 00;08;27;24
because they're insulated for the hot
drinks,

00;08;27;26 - 00;08;31;20
the inside where that you hope
the liquid isn't that big.

00;08;31;22 - 00;08;35;08
So you're not going to get a huge amount

00;08;35;10 - 00;08;38;10
of drink in there after a couple of Cokes
it'll be gone

00;08;38;15 - 00;08;41;13
don't kind of thing that you're going
to be sort of like, take that, then

00;08;41;13 - 00;08;45;03
take it back and then put it in never or
then take it to the park, refill things.

00;08;45;09 - 00;08;49;09
It's kind of designed
just to refresh when you're in the pool,

00;08;49;09 - 00;08;52;12
for example, in your hotel
or just wandering around,

00;08;52;12 - 00;08;54;20
you might be going to meet a character
that would wander in the shop.

00;08;54;20 - 00;08;56;07
It's a good place to go and fill up.

00;08;56;07 - 00;08;56;24
Okay.

00;08;56;24 - 00;09;00;16
Well, we always generally tend to do
is we go and send someone whilst

00;09;00;19 - 00;09;04;05
if you get was once having a shower
in the morning, send someone over to

00;09;04;11 - 00;09;08;13
to the reception because that's generally
where they come to buy a reception

00;09;08;15 - 00;09;09;21
restaurant in the area

00;09;09;21 - 00;09;12;29
and then go and fill up the resort
for a reef, it will most bring them back.

00;09;12;29 - 00;09;14;26
And then you've all got a little drink
before

00;09;14;26 - 00;09;17;08
heading out into the blazing Orlando.

00;09;17;08 - 00;09;22;09
So let's talk about
what is the same with each of the Disney

00;09;22;09 - 00;09;25;28
dining passes, existing dining plan,
the Disney quick service plan.

00;09;26;00 - 00;09;30;08
You will get at least one quick service
meal per day.

00;09;30;12 - 00;09;32;06
So what is a quick service?

00;09;32;06 - 00;09;34;07
The quick service meal is in the UK.

00;09;34;07 - 00;09;38;04
We kind of think of that as something like
KFC, McDonald's somewhere where you go

00;09;38;04 - 00;09;42;12
up, get a tray of food
and then go down, sit down, find a table.

00;09;42;15 - 00;09;45;13
Okay, So that is a an entree.

00;09;45;13 - 00;09;49;21
What they will concentrate called
a main meal and also a drink as well.

00;09;49;22 - 00;09;53;28
Now it can be for someone who is over 21,

00;09;54;01 - 00;09;57;16
that can be a selection
of alcoholic drinks as well as it could be

00;09;57;17 - 00;10;01;29
a draft, beer, a wine, or even some of
the cocktails as well are also included.

00;10;01;29 - 00;10;05;20
So if you want to sit there
and have a nice glass of wine

00;10;05;21 - 00;10;08;01
with your burger pizza, great, fantastic.

00;10;08;01 - 00;10;09;10
You can do that.

00;10;09;10 - 00;10;14;00
There's also a great selection
of mocktails for the kids.

00;10;14;02 - 00;10;15;14
There's free shakes.

00;10;15;14 - 00;10;18;11
So there's kind of others
pretty kind of called milkshakes.

00;10;18;11 - 00;10;20;15
You can have
those just look for the symbol

00;10;20;15 - 00;10;23;01
it would tell you on there,
whether it's included or not.

00;10;23;01 - 00;10;27;14
So that's the quick service meal,
which is your main meal and a drink.

00;10;27;17 - 00;10;30;10
So where it changes

00;10;30;12 - 00;10;31;09
on the

00;10;31;09 - 00;10;35;05
cheaper Disney quick service dining plan,

00;10;35;08 - 00;10;40;00
you will get two of those quick service
meals per day.

00;10;40;03 - 00;10;44;16
So that's your main meal and you drink
along with your snack as well.

00;10;44;18 - 00;10;48;15
On the Disney dining plan, that's the more
expensive one you will get.

00;10;48;15 - 00;10;51;25
One quick service meal per day
and you would get one

00;10;52;00 - 00;10;55;22
table service meal per day as well.

00;10;55;22 - 00;10;58;19
So you still get two meals on the cheap.

00;10;58;19 - 00;11;00;23
One, you're getting two quick service
minutes.

00;11;00;23 - 00;11;04;09
These is called the cheaper meals
you can get and on the more expensive

00;11;04;15 - 00;11;10;01
plan, you'll get one quick service
and one more expensive table service meal.

00;11;10;04 - 00;11;13;13
Let's talk about the Disney dining plan.

00;11;13;20 - 00;11;17;06
This will give you one table service meal

00;11;17;09 - 00;11;21;05
per person per day,
including a drink and one quick service

00;11;21;05 - 00;11;25;03
meal per person per day
plus also that snack as well.

00;11;25;04 - 00;11;29;02
So the Disney dining plan is for an adult.

00;11;29;02 - 00;11;32;21
It's £7.99 per night.

00;11;32;24 - 00;11;35;01
And for a child it's 2499.

00;11;35;01 - 00;11;37;10
So 78 and 25.

00;11;37;10 - 00;11;38;05
Okay.

00;11;38;05 - 00;11;42;00
For a child, that's anyone who is age
nine and below.

00;11;42;08 - 00;11;46;26
So anyone age from ten and above
will be classed as an advocate.

00;11;46;26 - 00;11;49;15
Just something to be mindful about.

00;11;49;15 - 00;11;52;22
It doesn't really make too much difference
on, for example, the park tickets.

00;11;52;22 - 00;11;54;05
They're not huge difference.

00;11;54;05 - 00;11;57;16
But on a dining plan,
this is where you've got to think about

00;11;57;18 - 00;12;01;15
is a ten year old actually going to eat
that amount of food

00;12;01;18 - 00;12;05;04
somewhere, somewhere, even if you know
your kids a lot better than I do.

00;12;05;08 - 00;12;07;17
So this is aimed at people
who want to have

00;12;07;17 - 00;12;09;21
a more leisurely kind of pace of life.

00;12;09;21 - 00;12;12;19
Just because you have one table service
credit per night

00;12;12;19 - 00;12;14;21
doesn't mean
you have to have one per night.

00;12;14;21 - 00;12;18;18
So, for example, what you could do is
you could use that table

00;12;18;18 - 00;12;23;10
service credit for a buffet breakfast,
111, the character buffet breakfast.

00;12;23;10 - 00;12;25;00
You could do that at Garden Group

00;12;25;00 - 00;12;28;29
and then in the evening,
go and do another table service.

00;12;28;29 - 00;12;31;13
Sea views two in one day.

00;12;31;13 - 00;12;34;02
So it just means that you haven't used
that quick service credit

00;12;34;02 - 00;12;34;24
for that one day.

00;12;34;24 - 00;12;39;08
So you then roll that kind of over, said
you can use them

00;12;39;09 - 00;12;42;10
at any time, said don't worry
about any particular order that you use.

00;12;42;10 - 00;12;44;07
I mean, so where can you be?

00;12;44;07 - 00;12;46;06
You can eat at a themed restaurant.

00;12;46;06 - 00;12;50;11
Should you need a character dining
experiences, upscale dining experiences.

00;12;50;16 - 00;12;54;09
There is so many different places,
so many amazing places that you can go to.

00;12;54;12 - 00;12;58;06
The only thing you need to be wary of
is that a few of the restaurants,

00;12;58;06 - 00;13;01;13
for example. Leslie why is too credit?

00;13;01;13 - 00;13;04;20
So instead of using one of your crates
they're going to be using to it,

00;13;04;20 - 00;13;08;17
then the other thing to think about also

00;13;08;19 - 00;13;14;02
is that gratuities are not included
when it comes to enjoy a meal.

00;13;14;06 - 00;13;17;06
You will be you will pay for your meal

00;13;17;06 - 00;13;21;02
with your magicband or your park ticket,

00;13;21;04 - 00;13;24;04
and that will take off
the value of the meal.

00;13;24;11 - 00;13;28;09
It won't pay for the cookie,
which is the gratuities are going to be

00;13;28;12 - 00;13;33;01
between 15 and 20% of how much that meal
should have cost you.

00;13;33;08 - 00;13;36;08
Okay, So it can start to add up.

00;13;36;09 - 00;13;39;28
I like to pay for a cookie which is
preferred to pay for them in cash,

00;13;40;01 - 00;13;43;08
however much
just laid down. So for example,

00;13;43;10 - 00;13;44;14
$20 does

00;13;44;14 - 00;13;48;21
whatever is below kind of like cleaner
and easier kind of way of doing it.

00;13;48;27 - 00;13;52;15
Or you can charge it back to your room
using the magic bat if you want to.

00;13;52;22 - 00;13;56;00
So what does a table service
meal credit give you is a table service.

00;13;56;00 - 00;13;59;03
Meal credit will give you ever an entree

00;13;59;03 - 00;14;02;09
since a main meal and a dessert
and a drink.

00;14;02;09 - 00;14;06;12
And again, for anyone who's 21 or above
that can be one of the selected

00;14;06;12 - 00;14;07;25
alcoholic drinks as well.

00;14;07;25 - 00;14;11;05
And for the kids,
if there's things like mocktails,

00;14;11;08 - 00;14;13;18
it does also work in the buffet
restaurants as well.

00;14;13;18 - 00;14;17;14
So instead of having a main course
in dessert, you basically have a buffet

00;14;17;14 - 00;14;19;24
and also one of those drinks
includes it as well.

00;14;19;24 - 00;14;22;11
So plenty of places you can go see.

00;14;22;11 - 00;14;26;27
And of course, when you're going to
in these places, you need to make advance

00;14;26;27 - 00;14;31;07
dining reservations and these can be
made up to 60 days in advance.

00;14;31;09 - 00;14;35;28
But what hotel can guests can do
is they can book ten days more.

00;14;36;04 - 00;14;39;16
So if, for example, you are checking in
on the 1st of December,

00;14;39;16 - 00;14;44;04
that's your first day, 60 days before
that, just be able to start making dinner

00;14;44;04 - 00;14;50;00
reservations as from the 1st of December
and then for the next ten days as well.

00;14;50;07 - 00;14;53;27
So that will cover you
for a lot of your trip, depending on how

00;14;54;00 - 00;14;55;05
long your stay in that for.

00;14;55;05 - 00;14;58;15
Now, one of the great things
that we do here at Orlando Insider

00;14;58;19 - 00;15;02;12
is that we can actually book
all of your dining reservations for you.

00;15;02;16 - 00;15;05;12
It saves you having to do it
yourself can also recommend

00;15;05;12 - 00;15;08;11
which restaurants to go to.

00;15;08;11 - 00;15;12;18
We also have a really amazing tool as well
that there are some restaurants

00;15;12;18 - 00;15;15;13
where you need to be on the bow
and lightning quick.

00;15;15;13 - 00;15;19;01
So if you try to get, for example,
into be our guest,

00;15;19;03 - 00;15;21;24
sometimes a bit of a nightmare
to get into,

00;15;21;24 - 00;15;26;10
we use air technology
that tracks these reservations

00;15;26;10 - 00;15;30;18
and as soon as one becomes available,
we would jump in and book it for you.

00;15;30;25 - 00;15;34;08
So it takes away
all that hassle and exclusive

00;15;34;08 - 00;15;37;12
service that you only get
when you book with Orlando Insider.

00;15;37;15 - 00;15;40;15
So please use the show notes
as the links in there to get in

00;15;40;15 - 00;15;44;16
contact with us
or visit Orlando Insider Code UK.

00;15;44;18 - 00;15;49;11
Let's go to the Disney Quick service
signing system the cheaper of the two

00;15;49;18 - 00;15;52;18
and this is going to give you
two of those quick service meals per

00;15;52;23 - 00;15;55;23
night and also one snack.

00;15;55;25 - 00;15;59;08
At the moment,
the price for this is 4799 per

00;15;59;08 - 00;16;02;10
adult and 1999 per child.

00;16;02;12 - 00;16;02;20
She is.

00;16;02;20 - 00;16;07;00
She can see the difference
for a child price

00;16;07;04 - 00;16;11;24
between the Disney dining plan,
the more expensive table service one

00;16;12;00 - 00;16;16;27
and the quick service plan
is only £5 per night for a child.

00;16;17;00 - 00;16;19;28
Now, where this comes in handy,
for example, is

00;16;19;28 - 00;16;24;11
if you were going to go to Orlando
as a single parent

00;16;24;14 - 00;16;27;08
and you had an all the kids well

00;16;27;08 - 00;16;31;06
under ten years old, so nine and below

00;16;31;09 - 00;16;35;29
that, it might be worth paying that
extra to go and to the Disney dining plan

00;16;35;29 - 00;16;40;16
because you're only paying £5 extra per
child per night is more expensive,

00;16;40;16 - 00;16;44;24
obviously, for an adult,
but only £5 per child.

00;16;44;27 - 00;16;47;03
And you could have so many character

00;16;47;03 - 00;16;50;03
dining experiences,
they will just go nuts for it.

00;16;50;03 - 00;16;53;03
So that is my little tip for that.

00;16;53;03 - 00;16;55;02
And you can use it on the mobile order.

00;16;55;02 - 00;16;57;24
So it's really great
because you don't have to queue up.

00;16;57;24 - 00;16;59;29
You could just
mobile order as you're walking over

00;16;59;29 - 00;17;02;00
and then just flash your phone

00;17;02;00 - 00;17;06;13
when you get there and you can pick up
your food says no messing around.

00;17;06;15 - 00;17;12;01
These work in the Disney resort so you can
use it, for example, for breakfast.

00;17;12;08 - 00;17;16;07
I personally wouldn't use it for breakfast
as much as you can use it for, but

00;17;16;07 - 00;17;20;25
you could use a breakfast if you want, so
you can go and use it in Disney Springs.

00;17;21;00 - 00;17;22;14
It will tell you everywhere

00;17;22;14 - 00;17;26;14
what is a quick service credit
and what is a table service credit.

00;17;26;17 - 00;17;31;28
There are up to 200 locations that you can
use your Disney dining pan credit at.

00;17;32;01 - 00;17;35;03
Obviously this can be more
if you are using the table

00;17;35;03 - 00;17;38;03
service credit
they got gives you more options.

00;17;38;05 - 00;17;40;17
Here's a couple of things
that you need to be aware of

00;17;40;17 - 00;17;42;17
with the two Disney dining plans.

00;17;42;17 - 00;17;45;24
One, there is no Disney dining plan

00;17;45;27 - 00;17;49;04
for ages two and below.

00;17;49;06 - 00;17;53;16
You basically just need to pay for them
if you want them to eat.

00;17;53;16 - 00;17;57;12
Some think buy it whilst you there or of
course you've got those credits as well.

00;17;57;12 - 00;18;00;17
So I generally kind of find that an adult

00;18;00;17 - 00;18;03;16
male is big enough
for an adult and a toddler.

00;18;03;23 - 00;18;08;25
So if you are going to, for example,
the quick service just get an adult meter,

00;18;08;25 - 00;18;11;06
you could buy a meal for
for a two year old.

00;18;11;06 - 00;18;16;16
They will be able to feast off of the
what you're eating if you go to a buffet

00;18;16;16 - 00;18;20;16
because you've got a table service credit,
they will eat for free.

00;18;20;18 - 00;18;25;00
So again, if you have a two year old
with you and your

00;18;25;00 - 00;18;29;14
on the table service, Disney dining plan,
they would eat for free.

00;18;29;14 - 00;18;34;09
They could also eat for free off of
your plate as well in the table service.

00;18;34;09 - 00;18;38;00
But the basic means that the eastern
part of your food, the quick service,

00;18;38;02 - 00;18;42;03
the meal is a huge so serving
only to be kind of aware

00;18;42;04 - 00;18;47;16
of is the child meal
credits can only be used on child meals.

00;18;47;21 - 00;18;51;20
You can't use a child meal credit
for an adult male.

00;18;51;23 - 00;18;54;09
So if you've got a nine year
old who's really hungry

00;18;54;09 - 00;18;57;09
and does not want the kids meal
in the quick service, once adult,

00;18;57;13 - 00;19;00;22
that will come off of the adult
male credit not offer.

00;19;00;22 - 00;19;03;08
The child won't because he's an adult
male,

00;19;03;08 - 00;19;06;13
not a child's
meal, and vice versa as well.

00;19;06;15 - 00;19;10;22
If you are an adult and you want to buy
something on the kid's meal,

00;19;10;25 - 00;19;11;23
it won't work.

00;19;11;23 - 00;19;15;03
That won't take your credit off. Okay.

00;19;15;05 - 00;19;18;26
Likewise,
you cannot use a table service credit

00;19;18;26 - 00;19;22;27
even though it is far more valuable
than a quick serve is what you can not use

00;19;22;27 - 00;19;27;11
a table service credit
in a quick service restaurant.

00;19;27;13 - 00;19;31;12
You cannot also use a quick service
restaurant credit

00;19;31;15 - 00;19;35;08
towards the cost of a table service
credit as well.

00;19;35;14 - 00;19;40;22
So if you are on the quick service plan
and you want to go to a table service

00;19;40;24 - 00;19;43;17
restaurant, like for example,
when the character dining experience

00;19;43;17 - 00;19;46;17
is, you will pay for that
completely out of pocket,

00;19;46;18 - 00;19;49;26
you can't use any of your dining credit
towards it.

00;19;49;27 - 00;19;54;29
Okay, So have a real think about
how many character dining experiences

00;19;54;29 - 00;19;58;26
you're going to be doing as to
which plan is best for you.

00;19;58;28 - 00;20;01;23
So how do you actually use
the credit is really super simple.

00;20;01;23 - 00;20;03;01
I would explain it before.

00;20;03;01 - 00;20;05;27
All you just do is
if you get one of those magic bands,

00;20;05;27 - 00;20;08;18
I really recommend getting a Bradley
just to pay for them now.

00;20;08;18 - 00;20;12;06
But really we have recommend to get in the
or use your result card.

00;20;12;09 - 00;20;15;05
You just tap nice and easy.

00;20;15;05 - 00;20;18;23
All your credits are stored there,
so you just tap on there.

00;20;18;25 - 00;20;20;27
So is it Disney dining plan worth?

00;20;20;27 - 00;20;22;25
It really depends on

00;20;22;25 - 00;20;25;08
what you're going to be eating
and how much you're going to be eating.

00;20;25;08 - 00;20;28;21
So for example, I generally tend to find
that when I'm in Orlando

00;20;28;21 - 00;20;32;04
because of the humidity, I'm
not that hungry

00;20;32;06 - 00;20;36;07
and I could probably get away
with two snacks and a quick service meal.

00;20;36;14 - 00;20;39;14
So for me,
probably not going to be worth doing

00;20;39;16 - 00;20;44;16
because I probably wouldn't have two quick
service meals at a snack during the day.

00;20;44;18 - 00;20;47;29
I'd probably flip it around and have to
snacks and have a quick service meal,

00;20;47;29 - 00;20;50;26
but for other people
it really is worth doing it.

00;20;50;26 - 00;20;54;10
Now what you've got to remember
is it's priced that they work

00;20;54;10 - 00;20;58;00
on the assumption that you're going to
have not just a basic soft

00;20;58;00 - 00;21;02;00
drink with your meal
and definitely do not just get water.

00;21;02;00 - 00;21;05;13
We feel meal because you really are kind
of like wasting your credit.

00;21;05;15 - 00;21;09;04
They're working the assumption
that if someone who's 21 years in above

00;21;09;10 - 00;21;14;14
is going to be having an alcoholic drink
and someone who is 21 under 21 years

00;21;14;14 - 00;21;20;13
old is going to be having a milkshake
or a mocktail where it doesn't work out.

00;21;20;13 - 00;21;25;09
Amazing value is if you've got kids
that are aged between ten

00;21;25;11 - 00;21;29;03
and 20 years old
because they are charged as an adult

00;21;29;06 - 00;21;32;02
and they can have a mocktail,
but they can have a cocktail.

00;21;32;02 - 00;21;34;07
So if again, if you've got someone,
you've got an 18 year

00;21;34;07 - 00;21;37;20
old who could drink in the UK,
they can't drink in America.

00;21;37;23 - 00;21;41;27
So you are paying adult prices,
but they can only get a milkshake

00;21;41;27 - 00;21;45;23
or a cocktail or something else
to kind of think about is how much.

00;21;46;00 - 00;21;49;21
Now my little tip use the Disney app

00;21;49;21 - 00;21;53;11
to see how much you would normally spend.

00;21;53;14 - 00;21;56;06
Download the My Disney Experience app,

00;21;56;06 - 00;22;01;04
go into mobile ordering
and then put through a dummy order.

00;22;01;04 - 00;22;02;15
Don't pay for it obviously,

00;22;02;15 - 00;22;06;06
but put four in order up until the point
where you get to the price.

00;22;06;08 - 00;22;09;12
Always go through
because in Orlando the price that you see

00;22;09;16 - 00;22;12;10
is the price you're going to pay
because you need to add sales tax on top.

00;22;12;10 - 00;22;16;17
So go through and see how much
a typical quick service order would cost

00;22;16;24 - 00;22;21;22
and then work out double it
and then add on the price of a snack

00;22;21;25 - 00;22;23;01
and see if it's worth it.

00;22;23;01 - 00;22;28;20
See if it comes out to 4799
for an adult per person per night

00;22;28;22 - 00;22;32;12
or 1999 for a child, if it doesn't, that

00;22;32;12 - 00;22;37;22
it's probably not worth getting it for
for your trip to Walt Disney World.

00;22;37;25 - 00;22;39;25
Well,
hopefully I've answered all your questions
