Gideon’s Bakehouse
We’ve got a not-so-great update about Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney World, and it has to do with the return of the Disney Dining Plan.

The Disney Dining Plan is an optional vacation add-on that essentially allows Disney World hotel guests to pre-pay for their meals in exchange for Dining Plan credits. Then, once you’re in Disney World, all you have to do is enjoy your meal and apply those Dining Plan credits to your meal (as long as the restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan, that is). This option was unavailable for several years, but as of January 9th, 2024, it’s finally BACK, with a few changes.Â
Well, the day has finally come! The Disney Dining Plan has returned to Disney World!
Breakfast at Cape May
With this plan, you can basically pre-pay for ALL your meals so that when you get to Disney World, all you have to worry about is where to eat. But if you’ve used the dining plan BEFORE 2020, you might not know that it’s a bit different now than it was then. We’re using the Disney Dining Plan RIGHT NOW and we’re going to give you all the DETAILS on how it has changed in 2024.
Okay, everyone stay calm. It’s really happening! The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived!

So hang out with us while we take on all these Disney World changes today.
