I notice what appear to be Disney Dining Plan decals next to many items on the Festival of the Arts menus. Might that mean the DDP is coming back soon? Heard any rumblings (other than our stomachs?) Would love to use the Plan for our trip in early February 2022!
DFB Gigi says
Hi Shelley, that’s a great observation! Disney has not yet released any information on the exact date the dining plan will return, but did say earlier this year that the Dining Plan WOULD be returning. If you’d like to read more about what we learned, click here and it will take you to an post we published in December with all that we know so far. 🙂
