Have you heard the saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch?\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s not true!\u00a0 If you\u2019re able to book a Walt Disney World Resort vacation with the free dining promotion, you will indeed get a free lunch.\u00a0 In fact, you can even have a free steak dinner, as well as a lot of other goodies if you use your dining credits wisely!<\/p>\n

There are three dining plans available at the Walt Disney World Resort, a Quick Service plan, a Standard (\u201cTable Service\u201d) plan, and a Deluxe Dining Plan.\u00a0 You can review the differences in each plan here<\/a>.

If you booked a trip with the free dining promotion, you will have the free Quick Service plan if you are staying at a value resort and the free Standard Dining plan if you are staying at a moderate or deluxe resort, though you are able to pay to upgrade your dining plan if you would like to do so.\u00a0 If you would like the Deluxe plan, you can pay to upgrade to that plan to gain more credits.<\/p>\n

In order to get good use of your dining plan, first determine how many credits you have to use.\u00a0 For each night you stay at your resort, you get dining credits.\u00a0 For example, if you are using the Standard Table Service plan and are spending seven nights at Port Orleans, each person in your traveling party will have seven counter service meals, seven table service meals, and seven snack credits for your stay.\u00a0\u00a0 These meals are free, so when doing your planning make sure you use every credit to get maximum benefit out of free dining!<\/p>\n

Some meals in finer dining locations require two credits per meal, but many popular places require just one table service credit.\u00a0 You can use this guide<\/a> to download a brochure to see which restaurants are on the Disney Dining Plan and how many credits each meal requires.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at each type of dining credit you may have and review how to best use those credits.<\/p>\n
