Dining plan & DVC ?

[NewmanFam6]

If I use points to stay at a Deluxe resort like the Contemporary can we have the dining plan? We surely could never stay at the Contemporary with our crowd otherwise. I would really like to have the deluxe dining plan though.

I don't believe guests staying on points, in the disney collection, are able to get the dining plan.

Anyone have more/better info?

That used to be the policy, but it recently changed. This is from the DVC Members' Website:

Disney Dining Plan available to more Members than ever

The Disney Dining Plan, previously available to Disney Vacation Club Members only when staying in a Disney Vacation Club Resort at the Walt Disney World® Resort, now is available to Members staying at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels available through The Disney Collection.

"We're extremely excited about this," said Marcy Reed, Manager of Member Services. "The Disney Dining Plan has proven to be extremely popular with our Member families, and now more Members will be able to enjoy this offering than ever before."

The Disney Dining Plan helps families save money on dining by pre-purchasing one of three packages that include a daily combination of meals, snacks and, in the case of Disney's Plus Wine and Dine Package, a nightly bottle of wine. More than 100 Walt Disney World dining locations participate in the plan, allowing Guests to meet their family's ever-changing tastes throughout their vacation.

Remember that Disney Vacation Club Members may book the Disney Dining Plan only if they do so at least 48 hours before arriving at their resort. Call Member Services for more details.
