Disney's Magic Your Way Package
This is the base package which includes your Walt Disney World resort hotel and Magic Your Way base tickets for everyone in the group.
To purchase a Dining Plan, you must be a Walt Disney World Resort guest and have purchased a Magic Your Way Package (in advance).
With each of the dining plans, you get a number of additional benefits including:
- one preferred viewing per park for Wishes at Magic Kingdom and IllumiNations at Epcot
- one voucher for Disney's PhotoPass, giving you one 5" x 7" print
- a $15 Certificate valid for food and non-alcoholic beverages at Planet Hollywood
- a Disney How-to Guide
- one Walt Disney Travel Company commemorative luggage tag per person
- one Sea Raycer Offer Voucher entitling you to a 90 minute rental for the price of 60 minutes
- one Miniature Golf Voucher entitling you to one round of miniature golf at either Disney's Fantasia or Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf courses
Disney's Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining Plan
This is the Disney's Magic Your Way Package plus the standard dining plan with two meals and one snack per person for each night of your stay.
You get one quick service meal, one snack and one table service meal for each member of the party. Adults (aged 10 and above) must order from the adult menu and children (aged 3 to 9) must eat from children's menu if available.
For 2007, the table service meals include an appetizer (dinner) and gratuities, but for 2008 these have been dropped from the plan.
Disney's Magic Your Way Package Plus Deluxe Dining Plan
This new plan for 2008 is the Disney's Magic Your Way Package plus a deluxe dining plan with three meals (including appetizer) and two snacks per person for each night of your stay.
You get three meals each day which can be redeemed at quick service counters or table service restaurants and two snacks plus a resort refillable drink mug (resort only, not parks etc.).
This means you can purchase a resort breakfast, quick service or table service lunch and dinner each day but the plan is nearly twice the price of the standard plan.
Disney's Magic Your Way Premium Package
If you want a range of all-inclusive recreational activities thrown in as well, then the Disney's Magic Your Way Package Premium Package might be worth considering.
You get the same benefits as the Deluxe Dining Plan; i.e. three meals (including appetizer) and two snacks per person for each night of the stay plus a refillable mug for use in your resort.
Also included are a wide range of recreational activities, theme park tours and one admission to the Cirque du Soleil show, La Nouba.
The recreational activities include:
- unlimited golf games, lessons, green fees, electric cart, range balls, rental golf shoes and rental clubs per person at the five Disney 18-hole championship golf courses and one 9-hole, par 36, walking course
- miniature golf
- guided fishing excursions and cane pole fishing
- water sports including parasailing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and personal watercraft excursions
- watercraft rentals and bicycle rentals
- horseback trail rides and pony rides
- carriage rides and horse-drawn wagon rides
- unlimited access to the children's activity centers
- one admission to the Cirque du Soleil, La Nouba show
- one Preferred viewing at Wishes and IllumiNations
As part of the Premium package, you can also go on a number of theme park tours:

- Epcot - Behind the Seeds, A Special Guided Greenhouse Tour, Gardens of the World Tour, Hidden Treasures of World Showcase Tour, The UnDISCOVERed Future World Tour and Simply Segway Experience at Epcot Tour
Note that with the Premium Plan, Grand gatherings one count as single meal.
Disney's Magic Your Way Platinum Package
The ultimate package is the Platinum Package which provides the same benefits as the Premium Package but with access to additional theme park tours and cruises. This package is only available to guests staying at one of the Disney Deluxe Resorts or at selected Disney Vacation Club Resorts only.
With the Platinum Plan, you are also entitled to eat from the Premium Menu at the exclusive Victoria and Albert's signature restaurant at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. You can upgrade to the Chef's Table, Elite Menu or include Royal Wine Pairing for an additional charge.
The recreational benefits are the same as the Premium Package with a few additional events and tours included:

- one Fireworks Cruise to see Wishes at the Magic Kingdom or IllumiNations, Reflections of Earth at Epcot
- one select spa treatment at one of the WDW Resort hotel Spas, choice of 50 minute Swedish Massage, one Radiance Facial or one Spa Manicure and Pedicure combination

- unlimited in-room child care (ages 6 months to 12 years)
- additional Epcot tours - Around the World at Epcot Tour, Disney's Dolphins in Depth Tour and Epcot Seas Aqua Tour
Wine & Dine
Another new package for 2008 is the Wine & Dine package which can be added on to any plan, based on length of stay. The package gives you one bottle of wine per room per night, excluding gratuities.
As the legal drinking age in Florida is 21, you must be 21 or over to purchase the Wine & Dine package.
Selected wines in signature restaurants and in-room dining can cost 2 credits, instead of 1.
