For a stress-free Disney or Universal Studios vacation, let the FREE expert planners at Royal Carriage Vacations take care of every detail including dining reservations, applying discounts, and onboard cruise credit.
Is this the first sign that dining plans are returning? Take a look at details on this promotion that may be included with vacation packages.
Advanced Planning
Disney World planning is kind of like a planning marathon where advanced planning is necessary. While we do not have to worry about making dining reservations 180 days out or making FastPass+ selections 60 days out, it is still good to get your dates in order, purchase your package, and make those park passes!
This is especially true for dining reservations which guests can now select at 60 days from the start of their vacations.
Dining Plans
It’s been a long two years without the dining plan and guests are ready for its return! The dining plans were paused with the reopening of the parks
Disney has gone so far in the past to say that yes, the dining plans will return at some point. You’ll spot the Disney dining plan stickers on various restaurant locations throughout Disney World theme parks and resort signs.
New Dining Promotion
Disney may be releasing a new dining promo card very soon! To use this dining promo card, guests check in to Disney owned resort. The Disney Dining Promo will be sent to the guest associated with reservation. If there are issues with the card, guests can visit their resorts guest services for assistance.

This is per room. Need to book a package through Disney's website.

Why doesn't Disney just lower their hotel rates for these dates? That is effectively what it is doing. (I know why. Because many people will not take full advance of the dining coupons.) I am not expecting discounted dining to ever return to it's pre-COVID form.

Disney could overcomplicate a one float parade.
