    I have the dining plan for our 5 day stay at Disney World. I'll need food for the fifth day, so can I reserve restaurants if I'm not going to use my Dining Plan points?

    Greetings, Bonnie!

    I am thrilled to hear that you are planning your practically perfect Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Thank you for stopping by to ask us your question. We love hearing from fellow Guests here at planDisney.

    Yes, you can definitely make advanced dining reservations for your stay, even for meals that you plan on paying "out of pocket" for instead of using your dining plan. In fact, at any time during your stay, you can choose whether or not to use your dining plan meals, not just once you have redeemed them all. Just make sure to let the Cast Member know ahead of time when you go to pay so that they are able to check you out correctly. 

    I am excited that the dining plans have returned and can't wait to begin using them again. I like the flexibility and peace of mind they offer in knowing that I don't have to budget our meals once I am on our magical vacation. I also tend to seek out new items, especially snacks, when I am using the dining plan. I have seen some great options qualify as a dining plan snack lately.

    Have a wonderful vacation, Bonnie, and if there is anything else we can assist you with, or you'd like some recommendations on how to use your dining plan, please visit us again soon.

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren

Hi-ya, Pals! I'm Lauren, a wife and mother of three who's enjoyed many special occasions at Walt Disney World Resort with my family and friends.

I now have pre-teens who check wait times in the My Disney Experience App just for fun, so I look for any excuse to return "home" often and would love to help you plan a little extra Pixie Dust for your next magical adventure.
