Hiya Lisa, and welcome to planDisney!
I’m so glad you stopped by with your question. Planning a visit to the
Most Magical Place On Earth is always an exciting endeavor, and it’s wonderful to hear you’re already looking ahead to your 2026 adventure. As the designated planner for my own family, I completely understand the thrill of mapping out all the details. No matter when you choose to visit, you will surely create memories to cherish for years to come!
The
Disney Dining Plan is a great way to simplify meals during your vacation, offering the flexibility to customize your dining experiences. Whether you're enjoying a Quick-Service meal for a casual dining experience or a Table-Service meal for a more signature experience, the Disney Dining Plan is a fantastic add-on to your Disney vacation to explore all the excellent culinary options Walt Disney World offers.
In terms of availability for 2026, based on previous announcements, we expect details about dining plans for that year to be shared in the spring, potentially around April. Be sure to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and follow
planDisney’s social channels for the latest updates. If you’re eager to book now to secure the perfect Disney Resorts Collection hotel accommodations, it’s worth noting that while dining plans may be added to existing vacation packages when they become available, it’s not guaranteed. My advice? Get everything lined up now so you can book your vacation with the dining plan as soon as it’s announced.
Once those plans are in place, I’d be happy to help you maximize your dining experience. From selecting the perfect
Table-Service restaurants for an unforgettable family meal to making the most of your
snack credits on classic treats like DOLE Whip or Mickey Pretzels, I’d be happy to offer personalized recommendations to suit your family’s tastes.
Feel free to swing by with
any other questions as your plans take shape.
Cheers,
Brent
