    Can you purchase a meal plan if not staying on property?

    Hey there, Celina! I'm happy to welcome you to the most magical panel on Earth – planDisney!

    Oh my pixie dust! It sounds like you're right in the middle of planning a magical Walt Disney World vacation, and that's absolutely enchanting! Whether you're mapping out your must-do attractions and character meet-and-greets, or dreaming of delicious Mickey-shaped treats, there's so much joy ahead! Get ready for a journey filled with wonder, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Your very own Disney fairytale is about to begin!

    To add a Disney Dining Plan to your vacation, you'll need to book a vacation package that includes both theme park tickets and a stay at a Disney Resort hotel. You can either book your entire vacation, tickets, resort, and dining plan, in one magical bundle, or simply update your current reservation to include a dining plan upgrade. Keep in mind that the Disney Dining Plan is only available to Guests staying at a Disney Resort. If you're staying off-site, this option won't be available.

    Personally, I love staying on property at a Disney Resort. It truly lets you stay wrapped in the magic from the moment you arrive until your final farewell. There's just something so special about that happy, carefree feeling that comes with being immersed in the Disney atmosphere 24/7. And let's not forget the incredible perks! You'll enjoy complimentary transportation across the resort, Early Theme Park Entry to get a jumpstart on the fun, and the ability to purchase Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before your arrival. Right now, my favorite perk has to be the complimentary water park admission on your check-in day. What a splash-tastic way to kick off your adventure! 

    Celina, I hope this helps you get one step closer to planning the most magical vacation ever! If you have any more questions along the way, don't hesitate to reach out. We're all ears and always happy to help!
