Yes you can add the dining to your AP rate room too. I'm thinking about booking a room in January and adding the dining. Right now you can do it for January but there are no discounts yet, so you have to pay rack rate, but since I'm going MLK weekend, availability is getting VERY low. Right now only Pop is available that weekend, no other value and only a couple of the moderates are available. I'm going to have to book at full price or not have an affordable place to stay. BTW--anyone going MLK weekend, might want to check availability as it is getting slim.
