Hi there Marilyn!
Welcome to
planDisney. We're so glad you've chosen to be our guest as you prepare for your winter getaway to the
Most Magical Place on Earth. There's nothing better than escaping to sunny Florida when Elsa is making things chilly up north. Fingers crossed for Olaf-approved temps during your stay!
I checked the latest
special offers available to Canadian residents. While I didn't see any free dining options, I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog; breaking news and new discounts are often announced there first. In the meantime, I'd love to share some tips to help you plan ahead and make the most of your budget, even without a
dining plan.
*For many travelers, paying dining expenses in advance is a huge benefit of using a dining plan. If you don't have one, consider purchasing
Disney Gift Cards in the amount you plan to spend on food and beverages. Disney Gift Cards never expire, so unused funds can be saved for future trips.
*Are you interested in
character meals? Opt for breakfast! It's typically more budget-friendly than lunch or dinner, and a 10 or 11 AM seating will keep everyone full until dinnertime.
*
Grocery deliveries are a game-changer. My family often orders essentials like bottled water, breakfast pastries, and fruit to save on basics so we can splurge on those unique theme park treats and memorable meals. We use services like Instacart or Garden Grocer to deliver items directly to our resort.
I hope this has been helpful. Best wishes for a fantastic winter vacation, and please reach out again if we can make it even more memorable. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a magical day!
