Magic Your Way Deluxe Dining Package

The Deluxe dining plan was introduced for 2008 packages and offers guests an option for those who are looking for more of an all-inclusive feel to their vacation. It would also be a great option for those who will be eating at some character meals or some signature meals as well.

Many guests feel that “too much” food is included in this plan and that you may spend your whole day eating, but that doesn’t have to be the case as you can see from the examples below. Since you have 3 credits per day, you can feel free to use them to experience Disney’s signature restaurants, dinner shows and more!
