Don't really know where to put this regarding dining package?

[Tanya]

Hello... How does the dining package work?... Can you just buy passes to the parks with the dining option?... Sorry - didn't really know where to post this.

Thanks.

The dining package is an add on to a room & ticket package. To get the dining, you have to reserve an on-site room and you also have to buy some type of MYW ticket for everyone in the room. It could be a 1 day MYW ticket though (even if you are staying longer than that).

Once you have the room & ticket package, you can add on the dining package. You have to purchase the dining package for everyone in the room and it has to be for the entire length of your stay. The dining add on is $35 per adult (ages 10 and older) and $10 per child (ages 3 - 9).

HTH.

Best wishes-

So I guess what you are saying is -- I can't purchase... bummer!
I already have my room through DVC.... but I do need to purchase tickets for the parks.... It can't be purchased that way though, right?

Hey Tanya- It is a HUGE bummer but DVC is excluded from MYW dinning. Lots of the DVC members are not very happy about it. The best thing to do is send an e-mail to member services and let them know, being a DVC member you want a dinning plan too. My sister has spoken with them in the past and they have said they get calls every days from unhappy members about this very topic. They have also said, they are working on something, so we will have to wait and see what that is.

Edited to add: That is you are a season pass holder or FL resident you can get a DDE card. This will give you a 20% discount off meals (I think almost any place you eat, there is a list somewhere I can get if you want). My sister's family is thinking of upgrading to AP so we can atleast take advantage of this program.

Sorry.

That is exactly why we rented out our DVC points and are staying at POP our next trip. We really wanted to try out the dining plan and it makes sense for us (at least this trip).

P.S. By renting out all our points, we have paid for the entire vacation, including airfare and a little bit of spending $$!!
