    Can the dining plan still be purchased if we dont stay in a Disney resort?

    Hi, Bob!  I'm sorry to have to tell you that the dining plan options are only available to guests staying at a Walt Disney World resort.  You can certainly still make advanced dining reservations at any of the amazing Walt Disney World restaurants during your visit, but the dining plan is not available for purchase if you are staying at a hotel or other accommodations off site.

    An option you may want to consider that will give you a bit of a discount is the Tables in Wonderland program, available to purchase if you are a Florida resident or an annual pass holder.  The program gives you a 20% discount at select dining locations. 

    I hope you have a wonderful trip!
