Hi Tracy!
Welcome to planDisney! With the myriad of
dining options at the parks and resorts, Guests are able to enjoy foods that represent countries from all over the globe. Add in the
EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, and you'll be eating and noshing from day to night!
We are huge fans of the
Disney Dining Plan, and have always included it when we've planned our Walt Disney World vacations! We love being able to pre-pay for our meals and enjoy the dining experiences without thinking about the budget or the check, with the exception of gratuities and taxes, of course! Like you, we are eagerly awaiting the grand announcement for the return of the Disney Dining Plan! As of yet, there has been no specific date set for its return, but we hope it happens soon! My best suggestion is to make sure you check out the
Disney Parks Blog, where its grand return is sure to be announced first.
Disney Dining Plan Tip: When the Disney Dining Plan finally returns, make sure you check out what qualifies as a snack! Pretzels at the theme parks and Dole Whips all qualified as snack credits. Look for the DDP icon next to the food item on the menus!
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
