Can I add the Dining Package to a Room only Res?

[crushonmickey]

We booked a room only at the POP (post card rate) for April 24-30. We are rethinking the dining package.

I figured out that, roughly, we would spend about $870 in food all week (6 of us) using our normal dining habits (counter service lunch every day; approx. 3 sit down dinners during the week; a snack a day and fill in with counter service meals).

The dining package would be $960 for the week. With a difference of $90, we are thinking of just booking the dining plan, if we can. This way we can just eat a nice dinner every night and be able to relax. I have no PSs made, so I have to make a decision soon.

Is this even a possibility at this point?

You have to buy the package to add dining, no room only. If you had a post card rate, you could check with CRO to see if they will apply it to a package (you also have to include tickets).

No, I don't think you can...I've called 3x about it and all three CM's said you can only have Dining added IF you are booking a complete package with tickets and no discount codes can be applied to package. I have heard that some have applied a postcard code to a package but those are sent individually and are not bulk codes.

I've tried to figure it out both ways...when I booked some dates in early April (codes were already out for that time) with the code and adding in the cost for one Annual Pass ticket and the rest of my family getting the MYW park ticket (not parkhopper) we came out about $1200 less than the MYW package with dining. I don't think we'd spend $1200 on dining...so at worst we're still saving $200. I'm still waiting for codes to see...I did try to also add AAA discount to a package deal with dining and I only saved $104.

Hope this helps!

Oh..if you do buy an Annual Pass...there is a Disney Dining Discount Card that you can buy for $50 and you get 20% off most restaurants...it would easily pay for itself with the money we spend on food...just an idea.

We have a package booked with an email room code ($137 per night WL Woods View). We had to buy 1 day MYW passes in order to add the dining. We used the same email for a continuing room-only ressie, but the 3 letter codes associated with the package and the room ressie are different.

Codes can be applied to your My Way package if you have the right type of code. Many people have booked packages at a discounted rate, you just have to make sure your code isn't a room only code.

We have two rooms booked at the POP for June with a postcard code. We were told we could not use the code with a package.
