Can I buy a separate dining plan from Magic Your Way?

[lisabees]

I already booked WL - room only - with AAA discount. Now, I'm rethinking the dining plan as I'm making ADRs at expensive places! I reserved through Disney and didn't want to deal with transferring the ressie (if that's even possible) over to AAA to make it a Magic your Way package with the AAA discount.

Can I attach a separate Dining Plan - or does it only come as part of a package?

The Disney Dining Plan only comes as part of a Magic Your Way Package. Do you have an AP? If you have an AP then you can purchase the Disney Dining Experiance (DDE) card for $60 that will give you 20% off on most restaurants at Disney World.

How hard is it to transfer over to AAA?

You shouldn't have to transfer anything. Your AAA agent should be able to add the DDP package to your already existing reservation -- provided you were not looking for the Free DDP as that had to have been booked by June 25th.

You can place a call to your AAA agent, tell them you want to add the DDP to your package and they should be able to do that unless there are only a limited # of pkgs available during your timeframe.

Good luck!

I think the OP booked a "room only" ressie directly with Disney with an AAA discount. For a package, the ressie must be booked through a AAA travel agent. I would contact the AAA travel agent, give them your ressie number, and see if they can transfer it. You may need to call Disney and change it yourself.

If I am reading the original post correctly, I think you booked through Disney but got a AAA rate. You do need to book the package with AAA to get the discount on the room as far as I know. I never have understood why... anyhow though, it is not difficult to do and they can transfer any ADR's you have already made to your new confirmation #, just make sure the AAA agent knows what they are doing.

I did reserve through Disney. I am definitely sold on the Dining Plan now, especially after looking at the cost of the ADRs I've made!

I was just hoping that the transfer over to AAA wouldn't be a big deal - I don't want to lose anything!

Also, if Disney comes out with a "room only" deal for October, would that count towards the room part of my package (assuming it's better than AAA discount)?

Thanks so much!
