Back in July we were told that the Disney Dining Plan will return at some point. There is still no word on when that point will be. Many thought it would be back for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary on October 1, but that ship has sailed and there is still no date. Keep an eye on restaurant openings. Rumors state that the reason that the DDP remains unavailable is because there are still closed restaurants, and that reservations for the open restaurants are too hard to get to make purchasing the plan worth it for guests. That makes sense, I wouldn’t want to shell out all that money and not be able to get the reservations that I want.
