More details about 2009 packages - there is a NEW dining plan option - it looks good too...

Hello again,

As I posted yesterday, the 2009 packages for Disney World are now available to book. There have been some changes, and I will post them as I work out what's what.

For now, here is some detail about the newest dining plan.

Quick Service Dining Plan
For each PACKAGE NIGHT, clients with this package will receive:

2 Quick Service Meals	One entrée OR one complete Combo Meal One dessert (Lunch or Dinner) or one juice (Breakfast) One single serving non-alcoholic beverage
2 Snacks	Choose from: - Frozen ice-cream novelty, popsicle or fruit bar - Box of popcorn - Single serving grab bag of Frito-Lay's chips - One 20oz bottle of Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite or Dasani water - Single piece whole fruit - Medium fountain soft drink or apple juice
Resort Refillable Drink Mug	1 per person, per package.

• We can see this being really popular, as families with small children especially may not want the hassle of doing the whole sit-down restaurant thing. Now there is an alternative...
• Also, as you can't pre-book quick service meals, this is a dining plan option that will suit those clients that really don't want to have to plan so far in advance. (There is no doubt that you DO need to plan and pre-book your sit-down meals on the regular dining plan, and this means that you really need to plan even which park you will be visiting on what day, sometimes months in advance). With this plan - there's just no need to do that. You can "wing-it" if you want. (Now, honestly, I would still advocate planning your trip to avoid the feeling of being a headless chicken due to the overwhelming amount of stuff at Disney, but you don't have to...)
• Also, of course it will be less expensive than the existing dining plans. Just how much it will cost, I am not sure right now. I'll post when I can find out...
