Next year is going to start off on a pretty stellar note in Disney World!
Park pass reservations are going away for most guests, park hopping restrictions are being lifted, and the Disney Dining Plan is making its return! We can’t wait for what’s in store, but in the meantime, we’re preparing for another huge day for Disney World.
The Disney Dining Plan is a method of pre-paying for meals and snacks at Walt Disney World. There are two versions of the Plan returning in 2024 — which makes tomorrow, November 10th a HUGE DEAL!
Reservations are NOW OPEN for the first day of the Disney Dining Plan’s return — January 9th!
Disney Dining Plans set the number of Quick Service and Table Service restaurant meals and snacks that you’re allowed to have during your trip. The credits for the meal will be deducted from your pre-paid meal or snack allotment, so you don’t pay while you’re at the restaurant.
When you go to order food at a Disney restaurant, your server will scan your MagicBand /MagicBand+, Disney MagicMobilePass, or room key card. Just let them know that you are paying with Dining Plan credits instead of paying with cash.
We’ll be on the lookout for more news about the Disney Dining Plan as it makes it triumphant return to Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more!
