dining plan question

[monorail express]

I have a question regarding the dining plans:

we are going to be going on the disney cruise next year and will be spending the day prior to the cruise and the day that the cruise ends at the parks. we will be staying in a dvc resort using points. anyway we have a large amount of people going. i was trying to think of ways to help with the meals:
either looking into the dde plan for the dvc members which will be a discount for at least 10 people or
add a 2 night package or even 1 night package with the dining plan. none of us want to cook
. i have been hearing that the meal vouchers are coming to an end. any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

If anyone in your party has a DDE card, and you all dine together at a table service restaurant, it will get 20% off the entire bill. A substantial savings for 10 people.

That is assuming that least one person in your party has an annual pass and can get the card.

FWIW, I believe that in order to add dining to a room & ticket package, your stay must be for at least 3 nights. In other words, you won't be able to do a dining package add on for a 1 or 2 night stay.
