Can I Upgrade to DxDDP after the 45 day mark?

[disneyquilter]

Hi all,

My 45 day mark is fast approaching. With this being said, can I upgrade to DxDDP after my 45 day mark with my FD package or do I need to do it before the 45 day mark?

Thanks for the info!!

I upgraded to DxDDP on our last trip about 2 weeks out with no problem at all. In theory, there is a charge for upgrading after 45 days, but they typically won't charge it if you are upgrading.

All changes to dining plans must be done no later than 3 days before check-in. They can be done anytime earlier than that though. (Note: DVC is 2 days)

Be aware of a couple things though...

• If within your 45 day window, you will have to pay for the upgrade on the spot
• If within 45 days, they may charge a small change fee (~$15) when changing your plan. This is typically waived for upgrades though
• If within a few days (7-10, it's up to the CM and not hard-set), there's a higher change fee (~$50) and this is typically NOT waived even for upgrades.
• If you're on a DVC points reservation, you always have to pay DDP stuff in full when you add or upgrade it, no matter the length before you check in.

Thanks for the detailed info Cafeen!! I'm still debating over whether or not I want to spend the extra $$. Right now I have 4 TS meals OOP (including CRT). If I upgrade to DxDDP, I have to think about the extra $$ we are also going to spend on additional tips because I know darn well we will make more ADRs for more TS restaurants. Oh...decisions, decisions...
