Disney Dining Plan

[5onadime]

We are dvc members with an annual pass. We are staying at Beach Club Resort for a conference ( with cash at a conference rate ). Is it possible for us to purchase the dining plan through our dvc membership? I know we can't through the actual reservation because it is not a " package ". Thank you

Sometimes. You may get lucky and get a CM willing to add it to your reservation. Call Disney directly at 407-WDW-MAGIC. Be prepared with your room reservation confirmation number.

You may want to consider whether or not using Tables in Wonderland with your DVC discount will save you more money than the Dining Plan, however. TIW is a pretty great deal, and even better with the DVC discount. Plus, you're not bending any rules by using TIW. http://tablesinwonderland.com/

You can't add it through DVC either. You can only add dining plans through DVC to reservations made by MS.

I had wondered about the TinW. I think I read it wasn't available between Christmas and New Year. Gasp Shock and Shiver. That is when this conference is. It is going to be CRAZY. WE are crazy. Oh well.

Thank you. That helps. I must have ran those dates together

If you have an AP, you can add the dining plan. Otherwise, you need a package directly through Disney including tickets. But I think the conference rate negates that possibility.

Although Sci-Fi Drive-in gave us the TIW discount on the 4th of July this year so it never hurts to ask

Check with the department where you reserved the room, sometimes they have options not generally available (2 day tickets for example) though I'm not aware of the DP being available specifically that way. What you could do would be to book a DVC room through MS on cash possibly with a discount and add the plan. My understanding is they'll waive the package requirement if you have a pass but not if you have a discounted room for Free Dining, in this situation you should be able to add it I would think since FD is not the issue. I think you'll be able to add it through Disney but not through DVC unless you book with them.

I got the discount on a block-out date (NYE) at Sci-Fi Dine-In also. Forgot about the block-outs and just gave the TiW card along with my CC when I paid.
