Hello and welcome to planDisney, Denise. I always love seeing a fellow North Carolinian stop by to ask us a question.
Denise, here at
planDisney we are a group of moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and even puppy parents that love sharing our knowledge about planning a really great Disney vacation. Because we are Guests ourselves, we aren't privy to insider information like when the
Disney Dining Plan may make its return. The million-dollar question at the moment is most definitely when will the Disney Dining Plan be returning. But, unfortunately, we just don't know yet.
The good news is that we do know for sure that it will, eventually, return to us. The
Disney Parks Blog released an article a few months ago reassuring us that the fan-favorite will, indeed, be back. I don't think it will be too much longer though Denise. We are returning to a world of magic more and more every day. I've noticed an increase in the restaurants opening back up for reservations lately and that is most definitely a step in the right direction. It's my guess that it will return after the start of the new year sometime which I know won't help you for your upcoming vacation. If something crazy does happen and it does return before your trip in a week and a half, I am certain that you'll be able to add it to your existing vacation package. If it looks anything like it did before, Guests had up to 48 hours prior to their check-in date to add it on.
I'm sorry I don't have more of an update for you at this time, Denise. If you have any other questions before your trip, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help.
Enjoy and have a magical time!
