Hello, Steph, and welcome to planDisney! Congratulations on booking your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I'm sure you are looking forward to your upcoming visit this summer.
Many Guests have been coming to planDisney to ask the Panel about the ever popular
Disney dining plan. At this time, dining plans cannot be added to Resort reservations. We are not aware when dining plans will return. I would recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and on
Disney's social media accounts for official announcements related to Disney dining plan updates.
While dining plans are not available at this time, all Guests are able to
make dining reservations online up to 60 days in advance. I always make advanced dining reservations when my family visits Walt Disney World, whether it's breakfast at our
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or dinner in one of the parks. Dining reservations give me peace of mind and allows my family of six to have a limited wait when we're ready to eat after a busy day of fun in the parks.
I would recommend using the
My Disney Experience app for mobile food orders during your visit. The ability to order ahead and customize some menu items is very convenient. After selecting a participating restaurant, you can select your arrival time and make your food selections. You can pay for your
mobile food and beverage orders using a credit card, debit card, Disney Gift Card, Disney Rewards Redemption Card, or Apple Pay.
Steph, please let us know if we can help you with any other questions before your visit to Walt Disney World Resort in July.
Have a magical day!
Bob
