Hi Samantha,
Ten days in warm, sunny Florida during November sounds absolutely wonderful! I bet you're looking forward to your vacation!
While the
Disney Dining Plans are currently a benefit to Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel, and not available to Guests staying elsewhere, the good news is that you are still able to visit any restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort that you'd like. You'll also still be able to make
advanced dining reservations 180 days in advance, so be sure to create an account in
My Disney Experience and then call (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463 beginning at 7:00 a.m. Eastern time or book online beginning as early as 5:45 a.m. Eastern time 180 days ahead of time.
Once you've arrived at the most magical place on earth, you'll be able to pay for any meals, snacks, or drinks with cash or a credit card. One other suggestion I have for you if you'd like to have an easier way to keep track of your dining spending is to purchase Disney Gift Cards ahead of time to cover the amount of money you'd like to spend on your dining. It will be easy to track their balance and you'll conveniently have all your dining spending in one spot, just like you would with a Disney Dining Plan.
Did you know that the
2018 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will still be going on during the first part of your trip? Talk about some AMAZING dining choices! Definitely be sure to enjoy all the delicious and fun options available!
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Samantha! I hope you have a truly magical...and delicious...vacation!
