Hello there, Susan. Welcome to planDisney! October is such a fun month to visit, I know you've got to be getting so excited.
The
Disney Dining Plan is such a fan favorite, everyone is wondering the same question, Susan. I know my family and I have enjoyed using the Disney Dining Plan over the years and I am also looking forward to its return. At this time, unfortunately, I don't have an updated timeframe to give you. The last update we received was that the Disney Dining Plan was indeed returning but they still were not quite sure when.
If the Disney Dining Plan is released before your trip, Susan, I'm certain you'll be able to add it on to your existing reservation package. If it looks anything like it did before, you'll probably have up to 48 hours prior to your vacation to add it. I'm actually quite surprised that the Disney Dining Plan is not back yet. I thought for sure with the announcement about it coming back eventually a few months ago, we would see it in time for the holidays. If you are interested in the Disney Dining Plan for your vacation, I'd be sure to keep an eye out over on the
Disney Parks Blog in case any updates or announcements about it are made.
I know your vacation is coming up soon, Susan, so I hope we will hear something as soon as possible. If you have any other questions about your trip in a few weeks or anything else, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm happy to help. Have a great day!
