Adding Dining Plan to Existing Reservation

[Disney with Triplets]

Apparently due to a systems upgrade yesterday, one is no longer allowed to add the Dining Plan to "closed" reservation (I guess within the paid in full window).

Does anyone know how to add the paid dining plan to a reservation to commence November 3?

Thanks for your help!

Really? I'm looking into this too. Called today to ask a few questions, even mentioned that my reservation was paid in full, and they said I wouldn't have a problem. I arrive November 9th and was required to be paid in full by the end of September.
Did you try calling again? Maybe another cast member will be more experienced with this.

Be Careful B/c They Do Require That You Add The Ddp 72hrs Before Your Arrival After That They Will Not Let You Add It Anymore And You Def Want It Its Great

I added DDP to my paid in full reservation last week without a problem. I just needed to pay for the plan when they added it.

Yes, I don't think it is the "paid in full" part that is the issue, but rather how close you are to check-in. They've never been definitive about the timeframe though. It's probably good advice, in general, for guests to add it on as soon as they know they want it, so they aren't locked out.

Yes, the small print "subject to change without notice" applies and with the new "system", changes won't be made to packages after the package code expires.

However, I was politely persistent, and Luke was persistent with the "keepers of the magic codes" and I was able to add dining to my existing package at the regular DDP prices without changes to my existing reservations.
