AP and Free Dining

[NJ2Boardwalk]

I know on a normal reservation, you can add the DDP to every person in your room if you have an AP. So are AP holders allowed to get Free Dining? Also, I know that the DDP and AP's are seperate from your room reservation, so would I able to say rent points and then just apply the DDP to everyone in my room with my AP?
Thanks!

You cannot get FD staying on points.

If you have an AP, and book a room with free dining, I believe you still will have to purchase 1 day park ticket to get the FD. At least that's how it was in the past.

Nope. This is not verbatim, but to be eligible for free dining, the Guest must book (and pay for ) a Magic Your Way package that includes the purchase of park passes - the same days/features for every person/ticket.

If you decide to pay for a resort room through CRO, instead of renting, you also have to pay rack rate for the room (at least a one day MYW ticket for everyone in the room and no room discount).

No free dining on DVC points or an AP room/dining package. Free dining is available only to those booking a room/tickets package at rack rate through Disney. No other discounts can apply to a free dining package. (Annual passholders who want free dining often purchase the package with one-day base park tickets. These never expire and can be used in the future, upgraded, or applied to the cost of an annual pass renewal.)

If you are renting DVC points, you may purchase the dining plan for everyone on your reservation (you cannot get it free, though). You must have the member you are renting from add the dining plan to the reservation, as Member Services will deal only with members. Your park ticket has absolutely nothing to do with the dining plan on a DVC reservation.
