Can I make my ADR's now, and add the Dinning Plan later?

[Got Quattro?]

we are still on the fence about doing the dining plan. I need to make adr's for the sit down places i know we will eat....and i may decide to add dining when we check in.

When i make the adr's they ask if you are on the dining plan right? What if I am not not, but will be then??

As far as I know, ADRs are not connected to your room reservation or package, dining plan or otherwise. So it should not be a problem.

I just made my ADR for Easter Sunday and the rest of the week. We just booked our vacation last week and since this is a very busy week, I did not want to sign up for DDP if I could not get ADR's.

So now that I got every ADR I requested for the week, I will add DDP to our reservation.

I may be wrong about this, but I don't think you can add DDP on at check in. I think it has to be added before your arrival. Not sure about the minimum days but 5 days is coming to mind.

I often make my ADRs before I even have my hotel decision made. I can't take advantage of the 180+10 perk that way, but since ADRs are harder to come by than rooms at the times of year we travel, I get them planned out ASAP.

However, you cannot add dining at check-in. I don't recall what the deadline is, but I know it has to be done in advance (5 days? a week? - something like that).

ETA: When they ask if you're on the dining plan when you make ADRs, it is just so they can inform you of the DDP policies - whether the restaurant is one or two credits, etc. it doesn't make any real difference, and it doesn't matter if your DDP status changes after making the ADRs.

Moving this to the dining plan board.

I just made my dining plans for our intended May 27 - June 2 trip (thread on restaurant board) and I haven't booked our room or the dining plan as of yet. I intend to do so at the beginning of the year however. You can do this, but if you plan to book a dinner show, you will have to either wait until you book the Dining plan or prepay your tickets.
