Ddp

[tigger300686]

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked many times before. I've just been looking at price on the WDW uk site for 2009- at the moment it doesnt show the dining plan to add to the package. Is there a certain time of year they release the dining plan prices? and if you booked a package now, are you then able to add the dining plan to the package at a later date by phone?

Thanks

Anyone?

Hang on I'll check our booking. for 2 weeks.... we have 2x £279.86 for us adults and 1x£83.86 for DS who will be 9 years old on the basic DDP.. NOT the CS version. Hope this helps you a little.It works out at £19.99 a day for adults and £5.99 a day for a child and yes you can add it t your WDW UK booking without an admin fee.

Thats great thankyou very much!!

I couldnt find anywhere that said whether or not you could add it to the booking and it only came up on the website if you do a whole package including flights.

I wish they'd update their website! I had thought it would be done once they released the USA packages. I am trying to price up our trip for next year and it is very fustrating!!

I know it's a bit of a nuisance but ringing is really the only option. The website simply didn't have the info when we booked as at the time they were doing RO bookings.We ordered the brochure and it stated the DDP prices in there.

Does that mean they havent increased prices yet? as i have been comparing quotes, with the WDW US website and quotes from other companies but the uk site comes out alot cheaper to my surprise.

I was told when I made my booking that I could not book DDP till august. I am going to use this to try to get the free dining added as I could not add it when I booked.

UK Value resort guests I doubt will get the free DDP they were only offering it to some moderate and deluxe resort guests.
I find this rather unfair since we all save to get there in the first place and the Orlando tourism Board have admitted if it wasn't for us Brits going in September for many years ( especially since 9/11)they would have had to reduce hours in many of the parks or shut down during the off-season. So I think they could be more flexible to be honest when it come so special offers and the like in regards to UK visitors particularly repeat visitors.

Tigger you may find that the delay is due to the new changes to the plan,with the basic or light in this case being 2xCS,2xsnacks & a refillable cup.

It looks like it is going to be quick service ddp free for moderates and AKL and normal ddp free for the other deluxes. I am staying at the Yacht Club so I am going to try and get the free ddp added, if not I will cancel and rebook as I only paid £100 deposit and free ddp is worth more than £100. I did not think the free DDP would cover my dates when I booked but from what I have heard it will.

We've just cancelled our holiday and rebooked we will be at Port Orleans instead of Pop Century and we now have the free Quick Service dining plan not the basic Disney dining plan. The difference is on the quick plan we each get 2 snacks and 2 counter service meals but no table service meals. It's still enough food to get through each day so we'll be fine.
We will still make TS ADRs for our trip one in each park since most of them will be available from 90 days before we want them and pay for them out of pocket when we get there.
