It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Rose!
Disney Springs is my number one destination for great food at Walt Disney World Resort and it's a tradition for me and my husband to have dinner here on the first night of our vacation each time we go. Our favorites in the past have been incredible restaurants like
The BOATHOUSE and
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin', but we have reservations at
Morimoto Asia coming up in a few weeks and that Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef might send it right to the top of our list!
Sometimes, it takes the different restaurants around Walt Disney World Resort a little bit of time to update their
Disney Dining Plan information for the upcoming year. Some of the restaurants not owned directly by Disney, like some of the places you're probably considering at Disney Springs, are usually among the final dining locations to confirm their continuing participation in the Dining Plan. In my experience, if they are accepting the Disney Dining Plan today it is likely that they will also be accepting in the following year but, of course, this is just a general rule and is not always guaranteed. My advice is to go ahead and plan your dining at Disney Springs based on the information available for the 2019 Dining Plan. When the website updates with all the new information for 2020, you can compare your reservations against the new list and see how it all lines up. You will probably be able to keep them just the way they are but in case there are any changes, your reservations are flexible and can be modified or canceled using
My Disney Experience up to 24 hours in advance without penalty.
I hope this answers your question, Rose, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation!
