DVC and Dining Plan Requirements

[RipleyKCR]

If I am using DVC points for a stay next month and want to add the dining plan, is there a ticket purchase requirement (like there is for people making "normal" lodging reservations)?

The bottom line is that I wanted to buy discounted tickets through Undercovertourist.com, but I do not want to mess up my plan to purchase the dining plan.

Thanks!

DVC Point stays do not require a ticket purchase to get the dining plan.

We just got back Sunday from our 1st DVC visit and we had the dining plan but purchased our park tickets through undercover tourist. It is not a requirement to purchase the Disney park tickets like when you stay on cash at a regular Disney hotel. We had a fabulous time and enjoyed many ADR's at places we had not previously visited. We were a party of 5 and really found the value and ease of the dining plan, our cost near $1030 but our value near $1500- had Christmas eve dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table and Christmas Day dinner at the Coral Reef....a wonderful experience! Enjoy your visit! I found undercover tourist to be fast and reliable- saved a lot of purchasing the same 6 day tickets from Disney...If you are not a member of the mousesavers.com newsletter, it is worth it to visit their site and join. The newsletter is emailed on the 15th of each month and includes a link for exclusive mousesaver discounts, even better that on undercover tourist's regular site....
