Hi Christina, welcome to planDisney!
If you ask me about my favorite things from my last Walt Disney World Resort vacation, I'll tell you all about the Stack Burger from
Steakhouse 71 at Disney's Contemporary Resort, the Queso from
La Hacienda de San Angel in EPCOT, and the Pineapple-Coconut Breakfast Bread from
'Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. My family thinks with our stomachs so Disney dining is always a top priority when planning our vacations.
Disney dining plans have not returned since the parks reopened in July of 2020. While it's not currently possible to invest in a meal plan, you can certainly still plan your meals. Advance reservations for dining can be made
online 60 days in advance. Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can book for their entire length of stay (up to 10 days) 60 days before check-in, which is a significant advantage for hard-to-get reservations like character dining experiences. If you're like my husband, you can even look at menus online and decide what you're having for each meal weeks in advance. If the idea of pre-paying for meals is appealing, I encourage you to price out meals and purchase Disney gift cards in advance.
In addition to keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for updates about the return of Disney dining plans, Christina, I encourage you to return to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
