Disney said this all-new deal promises convenience for families by ensuring that tickets, accommodations and meals are pre-paid before a guest’s arrival, eliminating the need for multiple transactions during their stay.

Dining plans will make their return for guest stays starting on Jan. 9, 2024.

These plans allow guests to prepay for meals and snacks before their arrival, so they can enjoy some of Disney’s food and drinks during their trip.

For those planning vacations later this year or early next year, a Disney Dining Promo Card is available when you purchase a non-discounted 5-night, 4-day room and ticket package at select Disney Resort hotels.

Also effective on Jan. 9, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. Disney said after guests enter the first park, guests will be able to visit the next park starting at 2 p.m. until each park’s regularly scheduled closure.

To help save time during a guest’s visit, Disney is recommending families take advantage of the Disney Genie+ service, which includes individual Lightning Lane entrances designed to reduce wait times. Some Lightning Lane entrances are offered through Disney Genie+ service, while others may be purchased individually.

These limited-time child tickets will be valid for use at Disneyland between Jan. 8 and March 10, 2024, with no blockout dates, subject to park reservation availability.
