    Hi! We are planning our 2nd family trip to WDW, but will be staying off grounds. Are we able to purchase the Dining Plan without staying on at a WDW resort?

    Hi Gina! The Disney Dining Plan is available only as part of a package for guests staying at one of the Walt Disney World resort hotels. Since you're staying at an off-site hotel, you unfortunately won't be able to purchase a Dining Plan. You can, however, still make reservations at the Disney restaurants online or by calling 407-WDW-DINE. If you're looking for ways to save money on your meals at Disney, consider eating your table-service meals at breakfast or lunch, which are often cheaper than dinner, and dining at the counter-service restaurants in the evenings. Also, portions can be large, so if you're not super-hungry, sharing meals can help cut costs.

    Come visit us again at the Moms Panel if you have more questions! We're happy to help!
