Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Walt Disney World and am finding a wealth of information on these boards! I do have one question I'm hoping some of the Disney regulars can help me with:
I've found a lot of information on various forum posts/elsewhere on the internet that says you can add the Disney Dining Plan to your reservation later, as long as you're staying at a Disney Resort/have purchased park tickets as part of your package and you call to add it to your reservation at least three days before you arrive.
I was planning on doing this, as my group isn't sure we want the plan yet, nor if we might be able to score the free dining plan promotion if we wait for that to be announced.
But when I double-checked with Disney (clearly stating that I was booking a Magic Your Way package, complete with flight, hotel, and park tickets) I got this answer via email:
"The Dining Plan must be included in the reservation package as it is an exclusive component of Disneys Magic Your Way Vacation Packages. When you book your package, you must add the dining plan then. It cannot be added on later. We apologize for any inconvenience."
This seems to contradict what a lot of other people were saying, so my question is: is this a change in policy for 2014 on the dining plan, or has it always been this way but, in reality, Disney does let you add it on to an existing package if you call and ask?
If anyone could weigh in on this, I'd appreciate it!
