Hello, Howard and welcome to planDisney where we are always thrilled to gather the ingredients to help guests whip up a perfect vacation!
Now, Howard, let's STIR up some fun and
talk about dining! Currently as the Walt Disney World Resort is operating in a state of phased reopening and focused on enhanced health and safety measures,
the Disney Dining Plan is not available. We haven't yet gotten word on when or if this option will be returning. As I see that you'll be traveling in July, I encourage you to assume that all meal purchases will be made "out of pocket."
Howard, my family and I loved the ease and all-inclusive feel of the Disney Dining Plans and so I appreciate that this may not be the news you were hoping for. When I visited last summer my family and I used Disney Gift Cards for all of our dining as it allowed us to budget in the months leading up to our trip. We were continuously picking up Disney Gift Cards at local stores so that we could be stress-free and prepaid on vacation. If this option is appealing to you, you are able to manage your cards through the
Disney Gift Card website and consolidate cards up to $1,000.
Howard, I hope this information is useful as you're planning ahead for your summer vacation. Whether you love
the luxury of a Signature Dining experience or prefer
snacks in between attractions, I hope this trip is delicious in every sense of the word. If you have any other questions, please come on back to planDisney!
