Disney ceaselessly tinkers with the dining plans' rules, meal
definitions, and participating restaurants. It's possible, for example, to ex-
change a sit-down-meal credit for a counter-service meal, although doing
this even once can negate any savings you get from using the plan.
For instance, if you're staying for three nights, you'll be credited with three
counter-service meals, three full-service meals, and three snacks for each member of
your party. These meals go into a group “meal account.” Meals in your account can
be used by anyone in your group, on any combination of days—for example, you can
skip a full-service meal one day and have two on another day.
Disney's top-of-the-line restaurants (dubbed
Disney Signature
restaurants in the
plan), along with Cinderella's Royal Table, all the dinner shows, regular room ser-
vice, and in-room pizza delivery, count as two full-service meals. If you dine at one
of these locations, two full-service meals will be deducted from your account for each
person dining.
