Hello Disney fan! I’m glad you brought your delicious dining question to planDisney!
Guests wishing to add the
Disney Dining Plan to their vacation must have a vacation package booked through the Walt Disney World Resort. Unfortunately, Guests staying off-property are unable to book the Disney Dining Plan.
Even though you won’t be able to add the Disney Dining Plan to your vacation, you can absolutely enjoy all the goodness of
Disney Dining experiences! Guests staying off-property can make table-service dining reservations 60-days before their preferred dining date. You can also enjoy quick-service and character dining locations throughout the Disney Parks! You can even enjoy quick, table, and character dining experiences at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels even as a Guest staying off-property! The dining opportunities located in Walt Disney World Resort hotels are not exclusive to Guests staying in the hotel. They are available for all Guests to enjoy! However, I strongly recommend making advanced reservations for any table-service dining location. They are quite popular!
I hope this information is helpful! Come on back to planDisney as you continue to plan your vacation to The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Dreams do come true!
Jonathan
