Welcome to planDisney, Sue! Thanks so much for sending us your question. I'm happy to hear you have a vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort this summer!
At this time, we don't know when the dining plan will return. I do have some suggestions that might help with your dining plans. You can make
advanced dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your arrival date. If you are staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you can make all of your dining reservations at the 60-day mark. Before your arrival, you could purchase some Disney gift cards to use for your meals during your vacation. This will help you feel that you have already paid for your meals as you use them. You could also use these gift cards by adding them as payment when
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering.
Speaking of food, I especially love the
Outdoor Kitchens at the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. This festival is a great way to sample a variety of great sips and bites. I like to purchase a wristband gift card at the
Port of Entry shop and use it as I eat and drink my way around World Showcase.
As you are planning, be sure to check out what's happening at
The World's Most Magical Celebration! If you have any additional questions, please visit us again at
planDisney.
Happy Planning!
