Confused about the difference between Quick Service and Table Service? You’re not alone!
I surveyed you guys and one of the most frequent questions was this!
So let’s break it down, and remove some of the common misconceptions about what Quick Service meals actually are (spoiler: it’s not just fries and burgers!).
As a reminder, with Disney’s free dining and drink offer for Brits:
➡️ Staying at All Stars, Pop Century or Art of Animation? You’ll get 1 free quick service meal per person per day.
➡️➡️ Staying at Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans or Coronado Springs? You’ll get the quick service dining plan - 2 meals per day, a snack, and a handy refillable drinks mug for your hotel.
➡️➡️➡️ You hit gold if you’re staying at any of Disney World’s remaining resorts - the deluxe category. Here you get table service meals too - which can be used for character dining and lots more, saving you $100s every day.
‼️ There are some important caveats though!
❌ Not all room types are included - you may need to pay a little more for specific room types at some resorts to qualify for free dining
❌ Not all dates are included - but most of the school holidays are!
❌ Even the deluxe option doesn’t mean you’ll pay nothing - you still need to cover tips for your servers at table service meals
If all of this is starting to feel less like a holiday and more like an exam, don’t panic!
