Welcome to planDisney, Steve! I'm so glad to be able to answer your question about my favorite attraction at Walt Disney World Resort: the food! The
Disney Dining Plan has always been one of my favorite ways to simplify my vacation, so I'm really excited that it will be returning beginning January 9, 2024. I'm happy to chat with you about how it works!
Steve, to purchase the Disney Dining Plan for your vacation you must book a vacation package that includes admission and a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel. You can book all of these things together, or modify your existing reservation to upgrade to a package that includes a dining plan. Guests who are not staying on-site are not eligible to purchase a Disney Dining Plan.
That said, there are
so many great reasons to consider staying at a Disney Resorts Collection Hotel! Guests staying on-site have access to
complimentary resort transportation, exclusive
extra time in the Theme Parks, and the ability to make
dining reservations 60 days in advance for the length of your stay, up to 10 days. I love staying inside the "Disney bubble" because it allows me to enter vacation mode and immerse myself in the magic!
I hope this answers your question, Steve, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
Jessica
