Hiya Marien,
I am thrilled you stopped in at planDisney and even more excited to mention that
The World's Most Magical Celebration will still be in full swing during your upcoming visit. One of our favorite 50th anniversary additions is the
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection. There are 50 golden statues of some of the most beloved Disney Pals sprinkled throughout all four themes parks. You just never know you might be peeking at you from behind that shrub. They are all great, but my favorite has to be Figment. He is so darn adorable! We love trying to find them all!
You may have asked the most popular question amongst my friends and family, when is the
Disney Dining Plan returning and will it be available in 2023? As a mom and wife to 5 men that all tower over 6 feet tall, I am very familiar with a group that is always up for a meal. The dining plan is great because
I can budget for most of our meal costs in advance and it gives me plenty of reasons to dine at our favorite restaurants and quick service options. It also gives me a reason to treat myself to an evening snack during
Happily Ever After.
Currently, there has not been an official announcement regarding the return of the Disney Dining Plan, so I am unable to confirm if it will be available in 2023. I can tell you that every Cast Member I have chatted with has commented that the dining plans are not discontinued but rather temporarily suspended. I am hopeful that now that most
Walt Disney World Dining locations are open and the beloved Disney Character meals are returning, that the dining plans will be offered in the near future.
Keep checking back to the
Disney Parks Blog or here at planDisney as we will share updates as soon as they are available. I hope you will
stop back and see me again should you need additional Walt Disney World planning information.
Hope to see ya real soon,
Margaret
