Magic Your Way packages that include the dining plan have recently been released.
You can see a breakdown of these plans by visiting
www.mousesavers.com, clicking on WDW Vacation packages from the list on the left-hand side and then 2009 packages.
The Quick Service Dining Plan is new this year.
Yes, make your reseravations. In fact, I already have all of my January 2009 Advance Dining Reservations made for our trip which begins January 18th.
However, here's a little snag. WDW Dining is undergoing a magical transformation and reservations can no longer be made up to 180 in advance until the new system is in place this October. You will need to wait for 90 days in advance and then make your call. For now, figure out your itinerary and you'll be all set to make your reservations when it's time to call!
