Disney Dining Plans Return, 2024 Reservations Opening Soon... and MORE!

Our Monday is officially MAGICAL and if you're planning to visit the "Most Magical Place on Earth" in 2024 your Monday is about to get more magical as well.



 

Disney has officially announced new updates headed to Walt Disney World!


#1 Bringing back fan-favorite Disney dining plans:

Time to eat! Disney dining plans will be coming back as an option for those staying at Disney Resort hotels who purchase a vacation package with us starting with stays beginning Jan. 9, 2024, which will also open for bookings on May 31. We know our guests – and families in particular – have missed dining plans, which offer guests the convenience and peace of mind of pre-paying for their meals and snacks. Guests will be able to choose from two popular options: Packages that include either the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan or the Disney Dining Plan. Both plans will be a great value for families with young children with access to many spectacular food and beverage offerings across Walt Disney World.


#2 Removing theme park reservation requirements for date-based tickets:

Starting with park visits on Jan. 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. You heard that right! When getting your ticket, you will simply select a start date for Jan. 9, 2024 or later, complete your purchase and then you will be all set! For reference, date-based tickets are the standard ticket option we offer to guests. For other admission types, including non-dated tickets, theme park reservations may be required to help us continue managing attendance and delivering a great experience for everyone.


#3 Continuing to provide extended park time to Disney Resort hotel guests:

For those planning to stay at a Disney Resort hotel, we will continue to offer the popular early theme park entry for visits through 2024 – every day, across all four theme parks. This great benefit gives you a jump start on your day. For those staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Villas, we’ll also be continuing to offer extended evening hours on select dates at select parks through 2024. Early theme park entry and extended evening hours require valid theme park admission and a Resort ID.


#4 Simplifying the Disney Genie+ experience:

We have heard from guests that they would like ways to plan with Disney Genie+ service and individual Lightning Lane selections before the day of their park visit, and we want you to know we are working on ways guests may do this for visits in 2024. Our goal is to give you the opportunity to spend less time planning in the park and more time enjoying your visit with friends and family. More details coming at a later date.
 

Mark your calendars! RESERVATIONS FOR 2024 OPEN MAY 31ST! Contact your MMV agent today to get on their list, so that you can have "first dibs" at next year's availability.
