The Disney Dining Plan is a new option when planning your Disney World vacation. Disney hotel guests who want the convenience of a more-inclusive "cruise-style" vacation can purchase the "Magic Your Way" Package Plus Dining. For each night of their resort stay guests can enjoy two meals and a snack at more than 100 select restaurants throughout the Walt Disney World parks and hotels. When you book your hotel, inquire about this plan and its price. >Disney Dining Plan printable brochure
