Deluxe Dining !

[Frankie Nova]

The dining plan offered now does "Not" include an appetizer do they offer you the appetizer in place of the dessert? If not why not make that option available, it is probably relatively close in price
I am not a dessert kind of guy.

Officially, no, but some restaurants will make exceptions. They won't sub for a full appetizer, but they might sub for something along the lines of a side salad, cup of soup, etc.

The reason why they don't is your average dessert costs much less to make than an average appetizer.

they do sub for soup salad or a fruit bowl

Correct, that is what I said, but is goes case by case. I don't know of any of the Disney owned restaurants that will not sub out for the soup, salad, fruit thing, but it gets a bit dicey when you are at a non-Disney owned restaurant.

The deluxe dining no longer includes an appetizer? I thought, at least for table service meals, it specifically does include an appetizer and a dessert. 2017 and 2018. With this little footnote on desserts : "*Ask your server about potential substitutions, but substitutions are not guaranteed."

Deluxe plan for 2018 for sit down lunch and dinner is Appetizer, entree, dessert, and one alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage.

 

[Andrew M]

The Deluxe Dining plan does indeed include an appetizer, entree, dessert and beverage (non-alcoholic until 2018).

The Deluxe Dining plan is great, but it is a lot of food.

When I went in 2006 the dining plan allowed you to choose if you wanted to use it for either an appetizer or dessert. It was nice. I think when I went back in 2008 they had already done away with that, though. I like apps just as much as desserts though, so either way I would have to pay for one or the other since I get the 2nd tier plan.

Are you sure about that? I thought appetizers were not included.

The "deluxe" Disney dining plan still includes both. The regular only includes desert.
