Is the Dining Plan refundable? If I purchase now for our July trip and something happens where we have to cancel our trip, will I be able to get a refund?

Thanks.

Yes. Canceling it after the PIF date will get a $50 change fee.

No. The tickets aren't connected to a DVC reservation.

That is nice! I know that I always need to keep all of our costs in mind when reserving our rooms and selecting who is going to be "in" which room.

Is the appetizer now off the deluxe plan? Next trip January 2017!

No, what makes you think that?

DVC wesbsite I don't see appetizer listed ~ I also don't see it listed in the link at DVC only with signature restaurants. We haven't used deluxe in a several years so I thought maybe it changed a few years back.

All restaurants at Shades of Green

Lounges (in the parks: Tune Inn, Tutto Gusto, Rose & Crown Pub (not the restaurant; the pub is separate), La Cava del Tequila)

It's been years since I've done alot of research on the DDP but question about 2017.

I see that regular dining includes:

• One Table Service Meal (includes one entree, one non-alcoholic beverage, and one dessert OR one full buffet)
• One Quick Service Meal (includes one entree and one non-alcoholic beverage)
• Two Snacks
• One Refillable Resort Mug

Can the dessert still be substitued for a fruit plate, salad or cup of soup? Any other substitutions or less commonly known adaptations allowed anywhere?

Substituting the dessert at a TS for something else is VERY hit or miss. It's not in writing that it's even a possibility. Each restaurant decides what, if anything, they will allow you to have and even then, what they allow one day may be completely different on another day.

Your QS drink can still be swapped for anything with a snack logo at the time you order. However, BoG no longer allows you to swap out the drink for anything.

Really? Well, that's a nice surprise. We are water drinkers so that would be another bonus.
