I had another awesome piece of good Disney news. My party gets the dining plan for $25 a day. Is this good? It's for the snack, cs and ts. What else does it include and not include?
It is 4 adults and 2 kids. I am not sure what is included and that is where I might be stuck. Ya hoooo. :p

You got a great deal with your CM discount, it's normally $41.99. The table service includes entree, drink and dessert.
Have a great trip. When are you going?

What kind of drink, and any appetizer on their menu? Entree's the same? Has anyone calculated the cost versus the $41.99? I guess I am getting a super deal at $25.

Well, unless it's the premium version of the dining plan, you only get (for table service) the entrée (including a non-alcoholic drink -- or get water with your meal and get coffee as your drink with dessert) and dessert -- they did away with the appetizer a few years ago, darn it all. You get one table service meal per night of your visit, one counter-service meal (you get a full meal with dessert and drink) and one snack per night of your visit, which is easily more than the $25 you are paying; and I know this because we save money at the $41.99 price point!
Congrats! And have fun!

It's a CM rate for th Deluxe dining (think that's what it's called) includes a counter service, a table service and a snack.

Drink is a non-alcoholic drink. Some places have punches and you can usually order those as your drink.
You'll have to pay for alcoholic drinks or appetizers, usually. Some restaurants will have fixed menu options. For example, at Le Cellier, they will have an option that includes their amazing cheese soup, choice of one of four entrees and then dessert. If you order off that part of the menu, the soup is included in the Dining Plan. Some other restaurants have this on their menus as well.

That's the regular dining plan - not the deluxe. The Deluxe plan is 3 TS and 2 snacks, plus a refillable mug and includes appetizers at TS restaurants (you can use a credit at a CS, if you want, but don't get any benefit from doing so).
