Disney Dining Plan Question

[melissa.irwin]

Hi all, still trying to learn the ins and outs as I'm a fairly new member who is just planning our first trip to Disney. Does anyone know if you stay off-site if you can still take advantage of the Dining plan?

We had originally planned to stay at a Disney Resort (and that would still be our dream), however, a relative has recently let me know that she owns a timeshare in Orlando 10 minutes from Magic Kingdom and we may be staying there to save a great deal of money...which I know is a good thing (especially in my husband's eyes! LOL), but doesn't stop me from dreaming about staying at a disney resort :cloud9: . I have priced packages with the resort, tickets and DDP but wasn't sure if you can still get the DDP without the resort? Any info would be appreciated!

:cheer2:

No, I'm sorry. You can only get DDP if you're staying on site.

From mousesavers.com: Dining Plan

Disney offers a prepaid Dining Plan at Walt Disney World that can be a good value. However, it is ONLY available when you purchase a Magic Your Way vacation package that includes accommodations at a Disney-owned-and-operated hotel plus at least a 1-day theme park ticket per person.

That's what I was afraid of - thanks for the very quick response!
