Greetings, Meagan.
Welcome to planDisney! I’m so glad you stopped by with this question. Food is one of the bare necessities (and half the fun) of a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, so I don’t blame you for pining after the
Disney Dining Plans. They made
dining such a streamlined experience ... I miss their convenience too. Unfortunately, no announcement has been made as to when the Disney Dining Plans will return. I wish I had more to offer you, but I am hopeful we will hear news of their homecoming soon. Keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the
Walt Disney World Resort website for further updates on the Disney Dining Plans.
In the interim, you could always purchase a
Disney Gift Card for the approximate amount you think you’ll spend on dining during your vacation and use it to pay each time. Alternatively, you could
charge your meals to your Disney Resort hotel room using your MagicBand during your stay. While these options aren’t the Disney Dining Plans, they are formidable substitutes for the time being.
Meagan, if more questions pop up as you plan out the magical details of your vacation, please stop back by
planDisney and let us know. We’re all EARs and happy to help!
Until next time,
Alyssa
