I definitely think the dining plan will come back, maybe even this year when capacity is back up - Disney want to keep guests in on site as much as possible which is why the dining plan is so lucrative. Whether the free dining offer comes back is something else, but they could just charge a premium for the rooms and it might come back one day.
Ah thank you. It was purely because Virgin are charging for hotel changes and Disney aren’t (the hotel we want is currently closed so not available) We wanted to book a package with the current situation and Aer Lingus are the only ones with available flights through Disney at the moment
I'm the same, I said I wouldnt book unless free dining and fast passes were back! Don't think free dining will be back before 2023
I last went in April ’18 so missed all of toy story land, and star wars land… I am itching to get back (we did Cali in ‘19, then the travel world ended!)I'm the same, I said I wouldnt book unless free dining and fast passes were back! Don't think free dining will be back before 2023
It's just all the adds on we have to pay for now; magic express alternative, magic bands, majority of your food. Plus there's not even any news rides because they're taking so bloody long to build them. I wanna go back so badly though D:
You do security at Dublin airport instead, and as you say you will skip it at Mco!Sorry wanted to add, with the aer lingus flights, it says something like “clear immigration before you land” on the poster, how does that work? Do you completely avoid the hell of the immigration hall in MCO?
I have flown in with a stop in Washington, it was amazing to cheat that queue!
That sounds like a dream, MCO queues are always long going and leaving
I go next may and I really have no idea what to do
all ok, if we could go now I would be there in a heartbeat!Oh sorry I mean I have no idea in terms of planning, must do’s etc!!
Start watching DFB guide on YouTube
Download the MDE app ( my Disney experience) book your park days now , we have moved our October trip to next October and even though it’s ages away the CM at Disney who moved it for us advised us to get the days booked ( these can be moved closer to the time , we will be there for Halloween and I like to do MK that day , so that’s booked in ) keep an eye out for dining res opening up and be ready to book these through the app, closer to the time, if your staying onsite , send over your requests to the hotel , eg a ground floor room , balcony, we stay at the yacht club each year and always request a balcony and so far we have always received one . Keep an eye out on primark / Disney for any cute minnie ears/ tees/ bags etc that you can start putting away now (especially if your knitting out a family, I love a theme , so Star Wars tees for when we made a light saber / Mickey for MK etc ) as the above poster suggested , DFB on YouTube , is incred ! Maybe watch some ride vids in each park so you have a rough idea of what you want to ride , IF fps come back you will want to get them booked ( again in the app ) and you won’t want to miss your window, it sounds a lot but planning Disney is half the fun ! Do it all now and then you can sit back and literally enjoy the best holiday even when you get there !! Xx
I’m gonna be the voice of doom- unless they bring back dining on a pre paid package , I don’t think it’s coming back, look at the greedy, half arsed Halloween bash they are replacing MNSSHP with , it’s almost double the price, but pretty much sold out ! I LOVE the Halloween party , it’s epic & we have had some amazing nights there , but I wouldn’t pay all that money for what they are offering now , but clearly I’m in the minority! Disney know people will flock dp or no dp so why bother with it !I'm the same, I said I wouldnt book unless free dining and fast passes were back! Don't think free dining will be back before 2023

DDP BACK SOOOOOOON!
Honestly so relieved
Eeek! Seen rumours of July 19th - but whenever it is will just be glad to see it back!!!
More reason for me to stay offsite next time, evening magic hours are the only onsite perk I really use but no way can I afford a deluxe thesedays!
This is annoying as I like the moderatesThey're bringing back evening magic hours, but only for guests staying at deluxe resorts

hopefully not permanent as don’t see it going down well. At least early morning entry is going to be for all on site though. do you guys all buy it outright?!We got the Quick Service dining plan which we paid for for our 2019 trip. I remember looking at the prices during the free dining offer, but waited until the free nights offer to book which they normally released around February for a couple months. I found it was actually cheaper getting the room discount and paying for the dining plan ourselves, compared to the price of the room during the free dining offer. I also found this was the case when we booked our 2020 trip which we never got to go on.Wont be free DDP though
