Seja novamente bem-vinda ao planDisney, Andrea!
It is a pleasure to answer a question from a fellow Brazilian Guest. We are thrilled to continue to help you plan a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
I was so excited to hear about the return of
Disney Dining Plans! I love pre-paying for my family’s meals and not worrying about that while on vacation. I find this is very convenient for international Guests like ourselves because paying for a Dining Plan in advance means I can forget about currency exchange rates during my visit and simply enjoy my favorite dining destinations.
Beginning May 31, 2023, guests can add a dining plan to a
Disney Vacation Package that includes a stay at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel with arrivals on or after January 9, 2024. That means Disney Dining Plans will only be available for visitors staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Also, please note that complimentary
parking is only available for Guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel and select Annual Passholders. I have recently stayed at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, so I know that Disney Springs resort area partner hotels usually offer free shuttle services to the theme parks. I recommend checking your Disney Springs Resort Hotel page for shuttle availability. Please note that at this time, only Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel and other select hotels, including Walt Disney World Swan Hotel, Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel, and Shades of Green Resort, can make
individual purchases of Lightning Lane entry beginning at 7:00 AM on the day of their visit. All other Guests are welcome to make their first purchase when the park opens.
planDisney tip: I know your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort visit is just around the corner, but I highly recommend that you consider being our Guest at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel on your next Disney vacation. You will take full advantage of magical Guest benefits and even enjoy a Disney Dining Plan if you purchase a Disney Vacation Package (for arrivals beginning January 9, 2024). I recommend contacting your travel agent in Brazil for availability and booking details.
It was a pleasure answering your question, Andrea. I hope this helps you plan a pixie-dusted Disney adventure. Next time you visit us, check out
