Can you change the amount of days on your Disney Dining Plan?

Is it possible to change the amount of days on a Disney Dining Plan? For example, if we stay 6 nights, can we pay for just 5 days of Disney Dining?

No. The dining plan has to match the number of nights on your resort reservation. The only way to have fewer nights is to book 2 separate resort reservations - one with the dining plan and the second for the nights you don't want the dining plan.

Thanks. Is it actually possible to book 2 separate reservations for 1 trip?

Due to daily variations in flight prices, it's cheaper for my family to fly into Disney on a Friday night and pay for an extra night at the resort, rather than fly in on a Saturday morning. However, if we have to pay for that extra day of Disney dining, which we really don't need, then our savings disappear.

Thanks for the help

Do two seperate reservations. I do it all the time. Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards

If you must book packages with tickets to get a dining plan, and you want dining plans on both the reservations, you will have to purchase tickets on BOTH reservations. Because Disney's multiday tickets are top-loaded and get cheaper the longer you stay, this can end up costing you a fortune if you split your ticket allotment to match your resort stays.

You can buy the minimum ticket on the second reservation and then save it for later use.

I think if it's only one day you are far better off paying for the food, unless you're DVC or eligible to book a ticketless package.

Not anymore with the ticketless offers for everyone.

I read on the resort board that those have expired. Even if they haven't, they require a full price room (no discounts).

They extended it, but they're also offering ticketless packages using the summer discount so it seems they'll be eligible for for the same things as other reservations.
