ADR's and AAA ressie ?

[LisaRay]

I currently have just a room only AAA ressie and am calling on Friday to make my ADR's.
What I am wondering is if I decide to add the dining plan does that do anything to my ressies? I wasn't sure since i booked the AAA rate directly with Disney and if I end up going the dining package then i have to go through a AAA agent. So I just want to make sure it doesn't mess up anything with my ressies since I would i guess end up canceling my room only.

Confusing or is it just me??

Why would you have to cancel your room only reservation? Couldn't you just add on the dinning plan and tickets to your reservation now? I know quite a few people wait and add on the dinning package shortly before they go...(I know there's a limit as to how long before your trip that you can add the dinning on...)

If you want to add Dining to an AAA room rate, you have to rebook your stay as a package with AAA in order to keep the discounted room. If you are in the time-frame for FREE MYW dining, no room discounts apply so you can convert your room-only AAA ressie to a package directly though WDW CRO.

I don't believe your ADRs change, although when I booked mine I never gave my confirmation #, only my phone number.

Good luck!

scrapperjill............. I would have to cancel the room only because I have a AAA rate through disney and in order to still have a AAA rate with a package it has to be booked through AAA.


ExPirateShopGirl...........No, I am not going during the free dining plan. (wish i were!) We are going the begining of Nov. And IF I get the dining plan which I will know for sure in the next 30 days I just didn't want it to affect my dining ressies.


Does anyone know the time limit on how close to the trip you can add dining. (not free dining)?

I just did this exact same thing this week for our trip in October. I had made a room only AAA discount reservation, and then made my ADRs. Then switched to a package through AAA with the non-free dining, and cancelled my room-only. I asked the same question about my ADRs and was told they are totally separate from my room reservation and will not be affected.

I will call at some point and confirm my ADRs, but I would do that in any case. But I don't really think they will be affected by the room cancellation. People change their minds about resorts all the time - it would be a nightmare if the system allowed the room cancellations to affect the restaurant ADRs.

They did tell me to let them know at the podium that we are on the dining plan when we arrive at the restaurant.

Unfortunately, I don't know how far in advance you have to sign-up for the non-free dining plan - I think I read somewhere 10 days, but I'm not sure.
