Ok we've never had half board usually have 2days free offer but just booked Eurostar for December yesterday now looking at deals and am toying between the French site (without Meals) but good value. And UK site with meals at an extra £100 per adult for 3nights.

So where can I use them is there certain times/restrictions? If I book the Cheyenne/sequoia is it same plan or would you get different choices depending on which hotel?

Really not sure what to do any help I'd be grateful

You can pretty much use them any where but if not in your mealplan then you will need to put money towards it. If have standard halfboard then can use them in Cheyenne, Santa fe, la grange at billy bobs, plaza gardens, agrabah cafe, you would have to pay extra to eat in the Sequoia. If you book the Sequoia you would get half board plus which gives you far more places to choose from because they are of higher value.

Look at the Dutch site - 25% off plus Free Half Board and of course the exchange rate comes into play x

It pretty much says the same thing that the UK/French one did at the time - 25% off, plus park tickets for your entire stay, plus free children under 7 I think it was and free half board. 

This is a handy site for letting you know which hotels afford you which free meal plan.  So whatever hotel you book on the site will give you access to the relevant restaurants throughout your stay.

With meal plans you can only eat in Disney restaurants.when I was there in September only the silver spur steakhouse and plaza garden were open,so not a big choice.
And unless you are big eaters not worth paying for,and Disney state free half board but
they raise the price anyway.

Thought so it's £100 in difference between the French (B&B) or English (HB) I think that's quite alot for 3 nights meals between me and my son who's 7 he's certainly not a big eater and at least I can choose where to eat as I don't like the idea if being restricted. I know you get more choice at sequioa lodge but I think we're probably going to end up going to the Cheyenne as its quite a last min trip and moneys tight thanks for the advice  ;D

There are no time restrictions on half board meal vouchers. The complimentary pause gourmande voucher is valid from 3-7pm daily. And vouchers are not valid for special Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve meals.

The only two places you can't use your vouchers are planet Hollywood and rainforest cafe.  Even if you went to a buffet and only posted for yourself over three meals that's still about Ninety euros saved.  If go for the free half board

When the offer is for free half board is that just hotel or standard half board that you'd be looking at in the meal plans page?

I  the UK it's the half board standard not hotels

Usually it's the one half board that is equal to the keys to your hotel - standard, plus or premium.
If it's a hotel HB, it's separately and clearly written.
