Hi there, Steven! Thanks for being our Guest here at planDisney!
I understand not wanting to book your vacation without the
Disney Dining Plan. Knowing all our meals and snacks are paid for in advance helps me relax during our Walt Disney World Resort vacations. I can also make my meal selections based on what I am hungry for instead of thinking I am spending too much - sometimes, you need a nice juicy steak!
Currently, there has not been an announcement on when our beloved Disney Dining Plan will be returning. Stay tuned to the
Disney Park Blog for up to date Disney Parks news and updates.
In the meantime, you can book your
Walt Disney World Resort Vacation Package and add the Disney Dining Plan at a later date if it returns in time for your trip. If it does not return, I have been purchasing
Disney Gift Cards in the amount I estimate I will spend and use those as my own dining plan. I usually over-estimate, so I use those funds for some fun souvenirs at the end of my trip! Or, you could be more practical than me and save the leftover funds for your next trip.
Have a magical day, Steven!
