Welcome to planDisney, Jason, and thank you for stopping by with your question for the Panel!
Many Guests have been coming to the Panel with questions about the return of the
Disney dining plan. We are not aware at this time when dining plans will be available. I always recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and on Disney's
official social media accounts for updates, including the return of Disney dining plans.
While dining plans cannot be added to Resort reservations at this time, all Guests are currently able to make
dining reservations online up to 60 days in advance. I make advanced dining reservations whenever our family visits Walt Disney World, whether it's breakfast at our Resort Hotel or dinner in one of the parks. It not only gives me peace of mind, but it allows our big family to have a limited wait when we're ready to eat after a busy day of fun in the parks.
I would also suggest using the
My Disney Experience app for mobile food orders during your visit. The ability to order ahead and customize some menu items is convenient and efficient. After selecting a participating restaurant, you can then 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.
Please let us know if we can help you with any other questions before your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World.
Have a magical day!
Bob
