Hi there, Michelle!
Welcome to planDisney! We are thrilled you are here with your delicious Disney dining question. While I love talking all things Disney with Guests, dining questions and recommendations are some of my favorite topics--so let's get to it!
It is fabulous that the
Disney dining plans have returned. We like to live our Walt Disney World Resort vacations with the Timon & Pumba mindset and the dining plans are just one extra way we can have "No Worries." I appreciate not having to worry about the budget and feel a little more adventurous in trying new places or new menu items.
Although the vacation dates for the Disney+ subscriber free dining special offer were for late summer/early fall, unfortunately, the promotion did have to be booked by February 14th and is no longer available. I know that news is a bit disappointing, but don't worry, Disney announces new special offers throughout the year and something else for your dates may appear soon. Make sure to keep your eye on the
Special Offers page of the Walt Disney World Resort website and the
Disney Parks Blog for such an announcement.
In the meantime, you can always book your visit and if a special offer is released, you can change your reservation to it (subject to availability.) You can also take a look at the Disney dining plans to see which option fits your group's dining preference the best. Personally, I prefer the
Disney Dining Plan so we can enjoy a few
Character Dining Experiences during our trip.
I am sorry I didn't have a more magical answer for you, Michelle, but fingers crossed some planning pixie dust is headed your way. Please visit us again soon if you have any other vacation questions.
Magical Wishes,
Lauren
