It just means you only use 1 Table Service credit for the restaurant you chose (1900 Park Fare) no matter which dining plan you're on (except quick service dining..which don't have table service credits.)

If you have the regular dining plan, you're fine. It will just cost you 1 table service credit per person.

 

[jtsmom]

When I copy and pasted it messed the email up, so I fixed it and reposted the original question. It shows you may not eat at 1900 Park Fair with the Regular Dining Plan :-/ If anyone has any info on this, that would be great. Thanks.

I also made some ADR's today (Chef Mickeys, Akershouse, 50's Primetime) and I was really confused about it too!!! Since there is a "-"and not "1" at the DDP it looks like you can't eat at either BOG, Chef Mickeys e.g. on the Disney dining plan - BUT it is stated in the brouchure that you can! It can't be right that all those restaurants are not accepted at the DDP! But made my a little unsecure and confused....

Just looked back at the confirmation page, and it shows the same thing, no 1900 Park Fair if you have the Disney Dining Plan, just the Deluxe and up plan. This stinks!

 

[jtsmom]

Hope it's wrong. We can barely afford the upgrade to this plan, forget about the deluxe!

Same here!!! We are only eating TS if free dining is offered during our dates! Otherwise it will be QS and then one TS at Be our guest....
But it can't be right! I think I just read it wrong

Agreed! We can eat with the best of them, but the deluxe plan for us is simple too much food! We like the regular dining plan & enjoy having the TS & QS flexibility. DH is NOT going to be happy if the dining plans gave changed (he is our head bean counter/financial expert

I moved this to its own thread on the Dining Plan board. I doubt that Disney would do this, and their website is notorious for its' errors. However it is worth discussing/researching.

 

[jtsmom]

Thank you Tricia, both for your info on the errors and for helping me make a new post! I sent the main Disney an email and forwarded them my confirmation. The woman at the phone line was couldn't help as she had never heard of this. Hoping that's good news.

I looked at the reservation site, and I found the chart you referenced. The dashes are for 2013, and it just means that 1900 Park Fare has not officially signed up for the 2013 dining plan. However, this is nothing to worry about, because apparently most of the restaurants don't sign up until the end of the year, and no restaurant has dropped out of the dining plan since it began other than Fulton's, and I think they're back in as of this year.

While the basic line is true (that not all restaurants have signed up for the dining plans), this isn't the case here.

It seems that most (if not all) reservations are showing this same thing (or with appropriate credits for the signatures). It's a bug on the website, someone forgot to enter the values for 2013 DDP. Nothing more than that .

1900 PF (and Chef Mickey's and several others) are actually owned and operated by Disney. These restaurants will be on the plan until Disney stops the plans. They don't get the choice like the restaurants not owned by Disney do. They are also included within the brochures, for all applicable levels of the plan (DDP and DxDDP).

For an example of how this page looks with the non-Disney ones, search for reservations at Epcot. Looking at Biergarten (owned by Disney), you see the same thing the OP posted. Looking at Marrakesh (not owned by Disney), it only lists 2012.

So, while, yes, not all restaurants are signed up yet and the chances are super high that every place that was on it for 2012 will be on it for 2013, it's not the case in this issue. It's simply a bug on the website (moreso, a mistake with the data entry, as I'm sure there's simply no records for DDP for 2013, which leads to the default dashes, rather than the website code automatically giving said dashes).

As an interesting sidenote, I was just looking up Flying Fish for another thread, and they list that breakfast is covered by DxDDP and above (for both 2012 and 2013). This restaurant does not serve breakfast... I wouldn't trust that Dining Plan details grid much at all.
