Hi Kevin!
It sounds like you're interested in adding one of the Disney dining plans to an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort! Incredible culinary experiences are one of my favorite parts of a visit to the "Most Magical Place on Earth," so I'm happy to help you with your question!
Unfortunately, the
Disney dining plans are temporarily unavailable and while we know they will eventually be returning, we don't have a timeline for their return. In the meantime, I recommend that you keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements, and hopefully, we will hear about the return of the beloved dining plans in time for your next trip.
If you will be vacationing without the dining plans, you can still enjoy the wide variety of amazing restaurants at Walt Disney World Resort and pay for the majority of your dining expenses in advance. You'll find that menus for the restaurants throughout the resort are online and include current prices. So I recommend that as you're planning your itinerary, you get an idea of the dishes you might like to enjoy at the dining locations you will be visiting, which will give you an idea of the food budget you will need for your trip. You can then purchase a
Disney Gift Card for your meals based on your potential food budget needs!
Feel free to come back to see us at planDisney if we can help you again as you continue planning. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
