Welcome to planDisney, Delinda!
Thank you for stopping by with your question for the Panel. I see that you're planning a magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort this summer. Our family visited last summer and had the best time at Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios—from laughing our way down Splash Mountain to
jumping into hyperspace on the Millennium Falcon.
Many Guests are curious about the return of the
Disney dining plan. I always recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and on
Disney's official social media accounts for updated experiences, including the return of Disney dining plans. While dining plans cannot be added to Resort reservations at this time, all Guests are currently able to make
dining reservations online up to 60 days in advance. I make advanced dining reservations whenever our family visits Walt Disney World, whether it's breakfast at our Resort Hotel or dinner in one of the parks. It not only gives me peace of mind, but it allows our big family to have a minimal wait when we’re hungry after a busy day of fun.
I also highly suggest using the
My Disney Experience app for mobile food orders during your visit. The ability to order ahead and even customize some menu items was convenient. After selecting a participating restaurant, you can then select your arrival time and make your food selections. You can pay for your
mobile food and beverage orders using a credit card, debit card, Disney Gift Card, Disney Rewards Redemption Card, or Apple Pay.
Please let us know if we can help you with any other questions before your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World.
Have a magical day!
Bob
