Adding the Disney Dining Plan (DDP) to your vacation package is like having an all-inclusive, foodie adventure at Walt Disney World!

Here are some insider tips to make the most of your dining plan! 'Ohana Breakfast 1. Babies & Toddlers Aren’t Included - On the Dining Plan, little ones under 3 don’t get their own dining plan credits. At non-buffet restaurants, you’ll need to order a separate meal (which isn’t covered) or  let them share from your plate. Bring your own snacks and small meals to supplement them, like food packets, or purchase their favorite side, like macaroni and cheese, or fruit. I like to order a side dish, and then share bits from our plates.  Caribbean Beach Resort  2. Dine Beyond the Parks -  There are SO many restaurants to explore beyond the parks! Some of the best table-service ...

La Cantina de San Angel is a quick service location in the Mexico Pavilion on the World Showcase side of Epcot. It's always busy - and for good reason! The menu is simple but delicious and the views are nice, too.  The menu here is small but packs a delicious (and healthy!) punch. Tacos, nachos, and empanadas are the stars. You can smother them in your favorite toppings--cheese, beans, beef, tomatoes, jalapenos or sour cream. The nachos are a great meal or shareable snack. You can add guacamole for a small charge or take advantage of the complimentary salsa that La Cantina offers. The red is smoky and hot and the green is tangy and mild and both are yummy.  Here are some popular entrees:  Arroz Bowl Rice bowl topped with grilled chicken, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro  Arroz Bowl with Barbacoa Beef or Shrimp Rice bowl topped with barbacoa beef, corn, spicy tomato salsa, pickled onions, queso fresco and cilantro or Rice bowl toppe...

The Dining Plan offers the convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for my meals and snacks.

Space 220 Restaurant Below is a list of the table service restaurants on Disney Property where you can use your Dining Plan credits. You can use it at restaurants located in the Disney theme parks, Disney Springs, and at the Resorts. The table service, or "sit down", restaurants either use 1 or 2 credits per person. A restaurant that requires 2 table service credits per person are called Signature Dining.

Jaleo is one of the newest restaurants at Disney Springs and has quickly become a favorite of many.  It is a tapas-focused restaurant from Chef José Andrés and is considered Signature Dining by Disney (2 table service credits on the Disney Dining Plan).  Since this is a tapas restaurant, the Disney Dining Plan can get a little confusing for the entrees and appetizers.  On the Disney Dining Plan, each diner can get two regular tapas OR one tapa that "serves two" OR one plated dish OR one plated pallea. If you are on the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan, you can select one of the options above, plus an additional tapa. First let's take in the restaurant's atmosphere and decor.  The building greets you with pops of red as you approach.  Once inside, there's a nice open feeling with a lounge area to the left and the main dining area to the right.  There are some interesting tables to be found, with one having a Foosball table underneath!
