Howdy Heather!
Welcome to
planDisney, a group of the rootinest tootinest Disney vacation enthusiasts you ever will meet. It sounds like you are ready to blast off to infinity and beyond with your upcoming visit to
Walt Disney World Resort next month! I am so glad you decided to stop by with your vacation question, and it would be my pleasure to help round up an answer for you.
I am a HUGE fan of the
Disney Dining Plans and the ability it gives you to budget for your fabulous meals in Walt Disney World in advance. Sadly, Dining Plans are unavailable and cannot be added to reservations at this time. I highly recommend keeping an eye on the
Dining: Know Before You Go page for the latest updates to the dining experiences in Walt Disney World Resort. I hope we see the return of Dining Plans soon!
A way that I have budgeted for meals and snacks in advance while Dining Plans have been unavailable is by purchasing
Disney Gift Cards. I look at menus for the restaurants where we plan to dine, create a budget for each meal, and then add the cost of snacks throughout each day. Once I know my daily budget, I purchase Disney Gift Cards in increments until I meet my total budget. I then use the Disney Gift Cards when purchasing our meals and snacks during our vacation. It is a great way to have your meals paid for in advance while the Dining Plans are unavailable.
I hope this information helps you budget for some unforgettable meals during your visit to
The Most Magical Place on Earth. You’ve got a friend in us here at planDisney, so stop back by any time we can help answer your vacation questions.
