Do I have to buy the Dining Plan for my entire stay?

Hello. I got a wonderful rate on a room only. Will be staying 10 days. However, I may want the dining plan for only 5 days. Is that possible? Thank you!

Nope, it's all or nothing.

Only way to do that is to book two separate room reservations, which can have its issues (especially if you are intending to book packages with tickets).

You can't get a dining plan with a room only reservation. If you want DDP you have to book some sort of package. If you book DDP without tickets, you will be booking a ticketless package (you can do that only by phone). DVC is the exception - any DVC reservation booked through DVC Member Services can get a dining plan added.

Either do split stays or it's for all 10 days. And you probably are thinking "Ok if I split stays than I can just do 5 days of DDP?" and that would be correct but it would need to be from the check-in date on one stay to the checkout date of that same stay. So you'd have to use the DDP on the days of that stay and not the other. My advice would be the pay of pocket if you only wanted 5 days worth.
