Price Increases & Changes From 2016

The big change from the 2016 version of the Disney Dining Plans is that for the Quick Service Dining meals dessert is no longer included  The meals include an entree (or combo meal) and a non-alcoholic beverage.  As compensation an additional snack is added for each night of your stay.

You have the option to use one of your snack credits to obtain a dessert during your Quick Service Meals.  For the Disney Dining Plan this is a plus since you lose one dessert per day and add one extra Snack Credit which gains additional flexibility in case you are not ready to use it during your Quick Service meal.

The Quick Service Dining Plan loses out by reducing the number of desserts by 2 and only adding one additional snack per day.
