Dining Plan & A Feeding Tube?

[Creola]

Hi,
I'm not sure if this questions belongs here or in the Disney Dining Plan Forum, but I figured I'd start here.

There are four of us (2 couples in two rooms) going to WDW in November. One of us has survived throat cancer but now eats mainly through a feeding tube. When he does eat "normally", all he basically eats is something like Ensure.

My question is...can his wife get the Dining Plan without them having to get it for him? I know the "rule" about everyone in a room either needs to be on the plan or not on the plan, but has anyone else had a problem like this?

Our original plan was that none of us would get the plan (my husband didn't think he ate enough last year to make it worthwhile for him!) But we've been re-thinking this. With the price of food (in the real world) going so high, we're wondering if WDW will raise the prices in their restaurants and it might make more sense for us to get the Dining Plan and lock in the price. Your thoughts?

Thanks!

I would definitely speak to Disney about it. They are usually pretty accomodating for things like this. I assume the "rule" is in place to avoid people making the dining plan transferable among people in the room; in this situation there really isn't any risk for that to happen, so I think they might allow your friend to buy one dining plan for herself ...
