Hey Howdy Hey Kristin and welcome to planDisney!
I am so excited to hear you and your family will be visiting us in the Most Magical Place on Earth really soon! Thank you for your question about theme park tickets and dining plans. I will be happy to give you a little more insight into booking these items.
When it comes to
theme park tickets, you may have a couple of options. You are always more than welcome to book your theme park tickets and
theme park reservations online through the Walt Disney World Resort website. Considering you are attending a conference at Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin hotel, you may have another option worth looking into. Sometimes conferences like these may also have an added package for discounted theme park tickets you may want to look into. These may be available if this is through your place of employment or through the company facilitating the conference so it would be a good idea to ask around to see if you may have any special options.
Dining plans however are a different story. Ever since the Covid-19 closures, dining plan sales were put on hold and continue to remain on hold at this time. Disney has not given any official word on dining plans other than they are temporarily still unavailable. I would keep an eye both online on the Walt Disney World website as well as over at
Disney Parks Blog for the latest news if any announcements were to come up that would affect your vacation.
Best of luck as you plan for your upcoming conference and trip. Please feel free to reach back out with any further questions you may have, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical Day,
Nick
