This was our first experience with the Disney Dining Plan, and our first stay-on-property full Disney immersion experience. Two of us (Husband and I) stayed at the Port Orleans French Quarter for three nights, January 25th through 28th.
Having now experienced "free" Disney dining, I don't know that we will ever do it another way! Our package included three table service, three counter service and three snacks each. One of each per night stay is how they figure it, but we loved that it doesn't matter when you use them or how many per day.
As many of you do as well, I perused the boards, drooled over food porn and read as many reviews as I could get my eyes on before making suggestions to Husband for our Advanced Dining Reservations. Armed with a 5:00 Saturday reservation for Raglan Road, we flew to Orlando that day, picked up our rental car, drove to our resort, checked in, then took the shuttle boat to Downtown Disney with only a few minutes to spare for our first free meal.
I'm happy to report that I took plenty of pics and if you're ready, I'm ready to bring 'em on! I also promise to keep this report abbreviation-free! I have such a hard time sometimes figuring out what all the abbreviations stand for, that I am vowing to keep this one devoid of them.
Now let me see if I can remember how to post a pic. If this works, this should be the one of our free refillable mugs that we got after checking in.
