Hi Sharon,
Thank you for taking the time to visit us here at planDisney with your question. It seems that you have asked the million dollar question, when will the Disney Dining Plan be available for guests?
As of right now, we have not heard of a date for the return of the
Disney Dining Plans however more information will be released at a later date. If you have booked a
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package including Theme Park Tickets and a stay at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel, you may be eligible to add one of the Disney Dining Plans should they be made available prior to your visit this September. I suggest keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog as well as the official
Walt Disney World Resort website for the most up to date information regarding the phased re-opening of Walt Disney World Resort and new offerings for guests.
While I know it isn't the same as the Disney Dining Plan, I like to purchase a
Disney Gift Card prior to my arrival to use for my dining. This way, my dining has been pre-paid, much like the Disney Dining Plan and it "feels" like I am using the Disney Dining Plan since the cost isn't coming out of pocket.
I wish I had better news, Sharon. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to come back to
planDisney, we are always happy to help.
