    Will there be a chance for the return of the meal plan? In our group, 6 out of the 9 of us (4 adults & 2 kids) have never been to Disney! We are super excited! I know it’s an expensive trip & I do t want to worry about my meals!

    It’s such a treat to be able to experience the magic of a first trip with a Disney newbie, Misty. I’m excited for you!

    As it sounds like you know, the Disney Dining Plan is not currently available. A lot of Guests are eagerly awaiting the return of this very popular package inclusion but no announcements have been made yet as to when it might return.

    Did you know that menus for most (if not all) of Disney’s restaurants and eating establishments are available online? You can even see pricing. What that means is that once you finalize your plans for where you’ll be dining during your vacation, you can have a look at the menus and come up with some pretty good estimates of what you’ll be spending on food during your trip. Armed with that information, you do have the option to purchase a gift card for an amount equal to what you anticipate spending on your Disney dining. You could then use that gift card to cover your meal costs. The balance of the gift card always prints at the bottom of the receipt so that you can make sure you stay about where you expected to be, budget-wise, throughout your vacation. This option is a great alternative for Guests who enjoy the convenience of pre-budgeted meal costs. It might be worth considering.

    In any case, Misty, I’m wishing you and yours a delicious trip!

Meet the Panelist: Darcie, Alabama

Given your inclination to plan a magical trip, I can already tell we have a lot in common. I'm Darcie, and my friends would be the first to tell you that Disney trip planning (especially dining!) is my love language. Of course, the vacations my family enjoys today look much different than they did when our kids were little, but while some of our favorite activities have evolved, Disney destinations still top our travel wish lists. Let's work together to plan a downright dreamy vacation for your family! Learn More About Darcie
