Howdy Dylan!
Welcome to
planDisney, a group of the rootinest tootinest Disney vacation enthusiasts you ever will meet this side of Walt Disney World. I’m glad you decided to stop by with your vacation question, and it would be my pleasure to help round up an answer for you.
Dining in
The Most Magical Place on Earth is one of my favorite topics, so you have brought your question to the right place, my friend!
I love the
Disney Dining Plans and the ability to budget for our meals in
Walt Disney World in advance. The
Disney Parks Blog recently stated that while Dining Plans will return,
there is no timeline currently available for when we can expect it to happen. I am relieved to hear they will be back, so I’ll be wishing on a star that we see their return sooner than later!
One option for budgeting for meals in advance while awaiting the return of Disney Dining Plans is to purchase
Disney Gift Cards. I like to grab one here and there to help prepare for the cost of meals during our Walt Disney World vacation. If the Dining Plans return before your vacation, you can use any Disney Gift Cards you purchased to add a Dining Plan to your Disney Resort hotel stay or vacation package. If the Dining Plan doesn’t return before your vacation, you can use your Disney Gift Cards to pay for dining at most of the restaurants in Walt Disney World.
I highly recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for announcements about the return of Disney Dining Plans! Remember, you’ve got a friend in us here at
planDisney, so stop back by any time we can help answer your vacation questions.
