Disney Makes Changes to Dining Plans Ahead of its Return

Disney dining plans are returning to Walt Disney World next year! Before they return, you’ll want to know what changes have been made so you can be prepared.

The convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for meals and snacks is right around the corner as Disney Resort hotel guests may once again purchase vacation packages with dining plans beginning January 9. You can choose from two popular options: Packages that include either the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan. Both plans are a great value for families with young children!

What’s New with Dining Plans

For all the Disney foodies out there, dining reservations are open for booking for guests staying at Disney Resort hotels who purchase a vacation package with a Disney dining plan for arrivals in January through early February! You can book dining up to 60 days in advance, and as a Disney Resort hotel guest, you may book dining for your entire length of stay (up to 10 days).

Pro tip: Disney recently made it easier to check availability so you can now see every available reservation for your selected location and date!

Here are some additional tips to help you get the most out of your dining plan:

You may redeem meals and snacks at any time during your stay.
You can see how many meals and snacks you have remaining in the My Disney Experience app. And don’t forget, using mobile order service in the app makes it easy to find quick and nearby dining options using your dining plan!
