Why You Should Rethink the Disney Dining Plan in January
Many question if the Disney Dining Plan is really worth the price. Now you may want to rethink adding the Disney Dining Plan for a trip in January.
Disney Dining Plan
If you're planning a Disney World vacation, purchasing a Disney Dining Plan could potentially save you time and money. The plan offers a certain number of prepaid meals and snacks during your stay, making your vacation feel more all-inclusive.
We have created a guide HERE with everything you need to know about the plan, including what comes with it and how to keep track of everything.
There are 2 Disney Dining Plan options. The Quick-Service Dining Plan is the most basic, and the second is the Table Service Dining Plan.
Disney Dining Plan Changes
Many like that a certain number of prepaid meals and snacks are available during your stay to make your vacation feel more "all-inclusive".
However, January may be the most confusing month to use the Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World. Last week, we saw several changes in the Disney Dining Plan availability.
Over 30 dining locations were no longer included on the Disney Dining Plan main page. Days later, more locations returned, but still, Starbucks and Landry's locations were missing.
When to avoid the Disney Dining Plan
Today, January 4th, all Landry's (Yak & Yeti Restaurant, T-Rex, and Rainforest Cafe) and Starbucks locations have returned. This was no doubt confusing for Guests visiting the Parks with the Disney Dining Plan last week.
Use caution when adding the Disney Dining Plan for your Walt Disney World trips in January.
Each year, Disney negotiates with the many third-party dining locations concerning the Disney Dining Plan. Thankfully, it appears that only minor changes were made, but you may want to use caution when adding on the Disney Dining Plan for your next January visit.
What do you think of these negotiations continuing into the New Year? Share your experience with the Disney Dining Plan and share this news with your Disney pals.
