Hi Jennifer! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for taking the time to personally send me your question. I'm so excited to help you!
Dining is my favorite part of planning a Walt Disney World Resort vacation! The
Disney Dining Plan, when offered, is a benefit that is only available to guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. At this time, the Disney Dining Plan is temporarily unavailable. If you are looking for an alternative to the dining plan, I recommend purchasing some
Disney Gift Cards before your arrival to use when paying for meals. I also like to save money by using my
Disney Visa Card to earn
Disney Rewards. I use the Disney Reward dollars on our dining and souvenirs during our vacation. These are great ways to make your Walt Disney World Resort vacation feel like it's paid for, and you can just sit back and enjoy the memories!
You can make
Advanced Dining Reservations up to 60 days before the date you wish to dine. I suggest having a must-do list of places you want to dine before you reach this date so that you can be all set to make those reservations. One of the features I love about the
Walt Disney World website is that you can filter your search by the type of dining, the cuisine, and the location.
We can't wait for you to be our guest at The Most Magical Place on Earth! I'm happy to answer all of your planning questions, so please feel free to
send them to me at planDisney! You've got a friend in me!
Happy Planning!
Smiles,
Lisa
