Annual Pass and Dining Plan Questions. HELP!!!

[Mikeb1892]

I am an AP holder, and will be in the World in October at POR booked through a travel agent. I would like to add the dining plan to my reservation and have a couple of questions:

1. Can I add a dining plan to a room only reservation as an AP holder without having to purchase more tickets?
2. How far in advance of check-in does this need to be added?
3. If added, does my reservation change from room only to a package and fall under the package cancellation policy?
4. Anything else I should be concerned with?

Thanks.

First and foremost, your TA is the ONLY one who can make changes to your reservation. Disney will not let you do it. So, you'll have to ask your TA to add it for you. Yes, with or without an AP, there is a ticketless package that includes the DDP. Yes, I said, PACKAGE. Your room only will be cancelled and a new reservation made as a package and all package rules apply. I think the latest you can add the plan is 72 hrs before check-in.

You could ask your TA to cancel what they have done, terminate your business with them, and then call Disney yourself to set up your ticketless package

Confirmed with my TA that we can add the dining plan with or without having an AP, and they can add it as soon as 2 days prior to check-in.

It really should be added as soon as possible. It MUST be added more than 72 hours prior. If you wait until 2 days before check in, you can not add the dining plan.

Its 72 hours for packages and 48 hours for DVC reservations. I'm reasonably certain that the AP will still qualify as a package relate with package terms.

supersnoop is correct. If you go with your TA at 2 days prior, you'll not have a dining plan. Please make sure you instruct your TA to do it earlier.
