CRT and Dining Plan

[jayyyloooo]

I know that when you make an ADR at CRT you have to pay with a credit card then unless you are using the DDP. We are renting DVC points and have not added the dining plan to our reservation yet. How would we go about making an ADR to CRT?

You can go online or call the dining line and make the CRT ADR, but you will have to pay in full since you don't have a dining plan.

Once you've arranged with the DVC owner to add the dining plan, you can call and have your resort res linked and get the cost refunded. Be sure the dining line CM knows you are only changing the payment method and that you don't want the res cancelled. Or you can wait until you arrive at CRT and let the server know you'll be using dining plan credits and they can refund your credit card at that time.

It varies by time of year (peak versus non-peak), meal time (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) and by type (adult, child). When you make your ADR, it'll tell you how much it costs.

Using 6/6/13 as a reference date, the cost for an adult at dinner is $66.96 and $40.84 for a child. Lunch and breakfast are less expensive.

Thanks everyone! We booked it this morning and paid in full. Once we add the Dining Plan we'll just give them a call and switch it.

Thanks for everyone's responses.

Just a heads up.

When you call be sure and let the CM know you only want to modify the form of payment. The easiest way for the CM to do this is to cancel your current res and re-book it with your dining plan, but you do not want the CM to do this. In the brief time between the cancelllation and re-booking it is possible that someone else will come in and pick up the res. Then when the CM tries to re-book for you the reservation will be gone.

If you don't mind waiting for the money, you can wait until you get to CRT and let your server know you'll be using dining credits and they will credit your credit card. This is what we did and it was very easy.

Thanks for the tip! Is there any way for them to modify the reservation but not cancel and rebook it??

Not to high jack the thread....but I have a similar question. I'm not going to be on DP, so already paid via credit card. But I really want to pay with a gift card that DS will get for Christmas.

Yes, make it clear to the CM that you do not want to cancel the res, just change the payment method. If the CM wants to cancel/rebook ask for a supervisor or hang up and call again. As I said, canceling is the easiest way to refund your money, but you might lose the res.

Personally, I'd wait until you arrive and tell your server you have the dining plan. There have been many examples of the reservation being cancelled where there should have been a modification made and when you arrive there is no booking.

Your money will be refunded onto your credit card and they'll use your DDP plan instead

Just tell your server when you arrive. Your card will be refunded and they'll use your gift cards to pay for the meal
