    Hi. I'm hoping to book our trip with the dining plan dropping on the 21st April. Is there a specific time the offer drops? Thank you!

    Hello, Jade. Welcome back to planDisney, where we answer all of your burning Disney vacation planning questions.

    The new free dining promotion available to our friends in the U.K. for selected arrivals in 2027 is going on sale soon, and it's a really good deal! While there isn't a specific time these deals will be available, I would be ready to call when the phone lines open at 9 a.m. your time. If you're booking online, I would check early on the site and check back periodically if you log on and find it's not yet available.

    2027 is shaping up to be an incredible year at the Walt Disney World Resort. A few attractions are opening this year that will be available for visits next year (minus any possible refurbishment dates). I personally cannot wait to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad when it reopens in Magic Kingdom Park and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets in Disney's Hollywood Studios. While no official dates have been announced for the Tropical Americas-themed land in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, it is slated to open at some point in 2027. And even though no specific timeline has been announced, and things can change, my fingers (and toes) are crossed that it'll be open when you visit.

    Jade, best wishes in securing this incredible deal. If you have any other questions, I'm here for you!

    Welcome to the wildest ride in the wilderness,
    Matt
