DVC renting points and DP

[ismommy]

Hi,

I am wondering if you rent points for DVC and and already have park tickets can you still do the dining plan?
Thank you.

Yes, you just need to have the owner you rented from make the DDP request for you at least 5 days ahead of the trip. That's what MS says anyway. In reality, we were able to add it just 24 hours ahead. FYI, tickets and dining plan are not connected for DVC. Most units have cooking facilities, so DP is an add on.

dianeschlicht is right.

As long as you are renting a reservation for a DVC villa and not a non-DVC room. You can't get the DDP using points staying at non-DVC resorts.

What about a DVC studio? Or does it have to be a villa?

Yes, you can add the dining plan when staying in any DVC accomodation, studio included, on points. D&B was referring to the fact that members can use DVC points to stay at other non-DVC Disney hotels (think Grand Floridian, Port Orleans...any regular WDW hotel) and I guess you can't add the DDP when staying at these resorts on DVC points. If you are staying in one of the DVC resorts you need not worry.

A studio is a villa. A studio villa.
