Can anyone who has done this please let me know what it was like.

Is 2 sit down meals a bit too much?

Are the set menus any good?

I guess breakfast can be had at the hotel?

Any character meals that could be included?

Also, I guess this can be used from check in and however you like throughout the nights you are staying? ie if you really wanted to you could eat them all on one day?

Thanks in advance.

If you’re getting the free standard half board, you will be able to upgrade to standard full board, but not to plus level. (You can only upgrade half to full board, not change levels.)

You can still eat in plus restaurants though - just pay to top up at each restaurant. You’ll still benefit from the free dining, so still worth doing. Plus if you end up eating in some standard restaurants, it will work out cheaper in the end anyway. (Some of our favourite restaurants are the standard buffets.)

We find that half board is plenty of food, but that’s because we eat a big buffet breakfast, then a big buffet meal later in the day. If you’re wanting table service meals, then I can imagine that full board would be better for you.

Also, your dining plan will be valid from your entire stay, eg for 5 days of a 4 night / 5 day stay, but it would only include meals for 4 days. So if you’ve got full board, you’d get 8 meals plus breakfast, and you could spread those out between your 5 days.
