Raise a glass! The Disney Dining Plan is finally BACK. We’ve been counting down the days for MONTHS, researching the pros and cons, and answering your biggest questions. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, you need some context.

The Disney Dining Plan is an optional vacation add-on that essentially allows Disney World hotel guests to pre-pay for their meals in exchange for Dining Plan credits. Then, once you’re in Disney World, all you have to do is enjoy your meal and apply those Dining Plan credits to your meal (as long as the restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan, that is). This option was unavailable for several years, but as of January 9th, 2024, it’s finally BACK, with a few changes.

Disneyland’s newest attraction just got a major update!
Critter Country
While Disneyland is undergoing several refurbishments and closures at the moment, one new attraction is progressing full steam ahead! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just got a massive new installation that’s hard to miss!
It’s happened! What we’ve all been waiting for for YEARS has finally happened — park passes are no longer required for most tickets to Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
To be clear, all date-based tickets no longer require park pass reservations in Disney World, but Annual Passholders and other non-date-based tickets do still require park passes for the time being. So how has Disney World changed since park passes are no longer required? Let’s break it down.
Are you ready for it?!
