Do guests who pay OOP get seated before those on the DDP?

We were there in Aug 2007 on the dining plan and never saw (or felt!) this happening. We were always seated in a timely manner given the number of people ahead of us at the podium when we checked in.

If Disney were to discriminate to one side or the other as far as first seatings, they would cause a very large problem for themselves either way.
As far as I know there is nothing that says you must present your method of payment before being seated, so if I felt at anytime that the host/hostess was discriminating against the order of seating to the OOP guests I would definately tell them I was paying cash then after being seated, change my mind.

Overall, don't worry... Disneyworld wants you to enjoy yourself (at least that is how they make me feel).

If you think the DDP will be a savings for your family and work for your schedule, then by all means.... I would jump on it!

No one has ever asked me when making reservations whether I was on the DDP......they do ask when you sit down if you are on some sort of plan.....usually I have the DDE, but I have not renewed it for this year....I may again in the future though.

if you are on the dining plan when you call in for ADR's???? Do you think this means anything as far as who gets seated first???

Every time I call for ADR's they ask me if I am on the DDP

As many others have said, the dining plan doesn't have anything to do with when you get seated.

They ask if you are on the dining plan so they can give you the correct information about the restaurants. They tell people if it is a one or two credit restaurant and other information relevant to the dining plan.

Same here. Then they ask if I want Cirque tickets!

Me too. And I have just called the last 4 mornings to book all our ADR's for sept.

That makes sense. We forget not everyone reads the DIS and knows how many credits each restaurant is. So telling them up front helps avoid confusion later.

I also wonder why the automated voice thingie asks "if you visited WDW before push this number" Then it says something l ike "if you visited in the past blah blah years or this many times?" LOL I wonder what that is all about.
