Welcome to planDisney! I love that you are already planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. October is such a wonderful month to visit as Mother Nature has typically eased the scorching temps and you can enjoy all the lovely fall decorations and events. As a mom of four very hungry young men, I am a big fan of the Disney Dining Plans. It is a great way for me to budget in advance, for the majority of our meals, as part of my planning process. It also gives me a great reason to book advanced dining reservations for our favorite Disney restaurants. And, of course I would never want snack credits to go unused, so another Mickey's Premium Ice Cream bar is an easy "yes please". Unfortunately there has not been an official announcement on the return of the dining plans, so I cannot share a date with you. The good news though is all the Cast members I have chatted with, have told me that while the dining plans are "temporarily unavailable", they should be back in the near future. I would keep an eye on the Disney Parks Blog as they will definitely share the return date once it is announced. In the meantime, keep making a list of your preferred dining locations and be sure to mark your calendar for day and time your advanced reservation window opens. Sending plenty of pixie dust your way that the plans will be back in place for your next magical adventure. If I can help with any additional planning questions, please stop back and see me. With pixie dust,Margaret
