But if you’ve ever tried to find the same option for a trip at Disneyland in California, you’ve probably noticed something pretty quickly: It doesn’t exist.
Flo’s V-8 Cafe
Disney World’s Dining Plan has a couple of different options that allow you to prepay for meal and snack credits that can simply be allocated at an array of restaurants and food stands all over the resort. It is a useful vacation package add-on that many guests take advantage of during a vacation — so why exactly doesn’t Disneyland offer a Disney Dining Plan like Disney World does? The answer comes down to a few key differences between the two resorts — and once you understand them, it actually makes a lot of sense.

And that’s exactly why this app hack feels life-changing.
