Tickets & Passes

Packages described on this page are available exclusively to guests staying at Disney on-site hotels. 

Most of the Dream Maker Packages that were originally offered (remember those?) have been discontinued - Gold Plan, Silver Plan, Prince and Princess Plan, Romance Package etc. etc. There are essntially only three packages now offered, though the dining plan is now available in 3 versions. 

The Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining,
the
Magic Your Way Premium Package and
the
Magic Your Way Platinum Package

The Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining has already proved to be very popular, as finally Disney have offered a dining plan aimed at the "rest of us"!!
The
Magic Your Way Premium Package is similar in scale, scope and price to the old Dream Maker "Gold" plan. i.e. lavish, inclusive and expensive...
The
Magic Your Way Platinum Package plan offers even more, adding exclusive personalised extras.

Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining
On-site guests are eligible for this new Dining Plan, which, for most people, offers excellent value. In the past, Disney has offered meal plans which were insanely priced - basically you needed to eat a three-course meal, every meal, at the fanciest of all the Disney restaurants, to possibly get the full value for the amount you paid! NOT ANY MORE!

The new dining plan costs approx $45US a day per adult and $12US per child 3-9 (taxes included, gratuities extra!), which is added on top of the accommodation and Magic Your Way ticket. 

What you get for that is 2 meals and a snack daily, per person. 

The meals are: 
one counter service meal - main meal and beverage
one table service meal - appetizer, main meal, desert and beverage
one snack - such as popcorn or ice-cream,

Obviously, this doesn't completely cover all of your meal needs, but considering the tax and gratuities are included, this is very good value. It is also less hassle. There are other advantages too. You can swap a table service meal for a character breakfast. You can put two table service meals together and take in a dinner show or a meal at one of Disney's finest "Signature" restaurants.

Rules and Restrictions
Your dining plan is always based on the number of nights of your stay i.e if you are staying for 7 nights, each person will get 7 counter service meals, 7 table service meals and 7 snacks. If you wish to put these together (as mentioned above), you can do this, but you cannot take 8 days or 6 days of meals for your 7 night package. 
Everyone in the party must take the same dining package.
Children under the age of 10 must eat from a child menu (if offered by the restaurant). There is no "upgrade" to allow a child to eat from the adult menu. (Well, actually there is a way around this, but it is rather expensive - contact us if you are interested...)
Not all of the hundreds of restaurants on Disney World are part of the dining package. For a complete list of the 100+ restaurants that are available to you, along with much more information on the Dining Plan you can download the following pdf document.

Recently, 2 other variations on the regular dining plan have been introduced. I have not had the time to fully write these up, but in summary:

Quick service meal plan 
2 quick service meals, 2 snacks per person per day, resort re-fillable mug per person.
  
May be better for families with small children (that can't sit through a "proper dinner", and/or if you know you aren't going to do more than one fancy sit-down meal during your duration.
At almost $35 per adult and $10 per child, this is not better value, in our opinion. The regular plan is probably better for most people...

Deluxe meal plan 
3 table service meals (or quick service if preferred), 2 snacks per person per day, resort re-fillable mug per person.
  
Approx $75 US per adult and $20 per child, while the most expensive plan, it is actually the best value, in terms of what you could get for your money.
For many people, it is just too much food, plus it puts the emphasis of almost the entire vacation on "where are we going to eat next!"
