Dining Plan changes for 2007

For 2007 the Disney Dining plan increases by $1 for adults making the price $38.99 per night per adult and $10.99 per night per child ages 3-9. Children still must order off the childrens menu when available, and the brochure clarifies that childrens credits may not be used by adults.

Omgosh! That stinks that many Epcot restaurants are not included in the plan! Any ideas if that might change as people on the plan eat elsewhere? (honestly, these changes could do a number of things: one being that people will not purchase the plan, or two, people will not eat at these Epcot restaurants.)

I see that Le Cellier is not on the list....I hope it doesn't get added later!

I am very disappointed by this. Several places that I LOVE are on that exclusion list. This could change my mind about purchasing the plan. We are not going until 2008 so a lot of things could change by then.

This takes effect in 2007? We have ADR's for a coupe of these places in 3 weeks. Will we still be okay?

That's a real bummer. I think you're right about the non-Dis restaurants losing money with the dining plan, especially since for the last two years so many people have been participating in the free dining plan offer.

It stinks though, especially for a whole Disney Resort to not be available on the dining plan, we had such a good time with the plan last year that I definitely had planned to get it for our next trip, but now if we can't eat a some of our fave restaurants at Epcot (Tangierine and Marrakesh for a start)and we can't use it if we stay at CS (where we've been before and liked)then I don't know if we'd buy it.

AS you say, we'll have to wait and see what happens. We won't be going back until at least 2008 anyway (unless a miracle happens lol!)

I'm very disappointed that the epcot restaurants are off the list.

we are leaving in two days and at first i thought they were talking about now and panicked but then i realized it's for 2007.

we are going in 2007 and we had planned on eating at 3 of those restuarants.

Now i seriously have to rethink the dining plan option.

I can't say I'm happy about the Epcot listings being gone either, but one thing to keep in mind is that this is the *first* list. The 2006 list had several revisions also. Epcot resturants were added, restaurants that were 1 TS went to 2, ones that were 2 went down to 1 etc.

While we haven't decided 100% on the Dining Plan I did make ADRs assuming we were going to purchase it. Luckily only one restaurant was on the list of not participating, but still. I wish they would have announced that before all of us going in January made our ADRs...
