DVC Dining Plan

[MommyPoppins]

I just saw a post on another thread that said if you rented DVC points you were also eligible to purchase the dining plan. Is this true? If so, how does renting make you eligible? Thanks.

in April DVC member and their guest will be able to get the dinning plan - without buying the tickets (I am assuming) - since they gave us a discount on the AP.

Yes......since your registered into a DVC resort you can get the dining plan. For the DVC membership the plan starts April 1st. It must be purchased prior to arrival.

Does anyone know the cost, is it the same as with a package? What about tickets? Do you have to buy them like a package or do you get them seperate. Also as a DVC member can you buy discounted tickets for your guests or only for your family?

Cost is $37.99 per night per adult and $10.99 per night per child ages 3 -10.

Renters may buy park tickets at check in or in advance - there is no requirement to buy tickets to add the Dining Plan to a points reservation. The DIning Plan is paid for at check in.

Renters are not entitled to any DVC discounts on tickets (The only DVC discount on major park admission is for APs or PAPs. It is available only to members and their family members living in the same household as the member).

Best wishes -

You are eligible because by renting points from a DVC owner you would qualify to do so. The owner needs to call Member Services prior to arrival and add the plan...you would pay for it upon check-in at the resort. As previously stated, it would have to be an arrival after April 1st.

Im a new DVC member taking our first trip in Feb. We have a few of our family members coming with us that are not DVC members. Can they buy the dining plan or would they fall under the same rules as us? Thanks

The dining plan isn't available for DVC members staying on points until April. At that point though it would be available for your guests as well....next trip maybe?

Welcome Home BTW!

As noted, not available until April. They would have been eligible if in the same unit. ASAMOF, they all in the unit would have had to purchase for anyone to get the plan. If they were paying cash and in a different unit, they would fall under the regular rules that would have additional requirements to qualify to purchase the plan.

Sorry no dining plan. If you have the DDE card you can still save. Have a great vacation.

I am thinking of getting the dining plan for our next trip to WDW. DW, DS, and I will be staying at the BWV. Is there any place near the BWV that I could use the CS credits?

My plan was to use the TS credits either for character breakfasts or lunches at the park. Then use the CS credits for light dinners. I checked the members site and only Spoodles take out window is listed for CS. I don't plan on having pizza every night.

The Boardwalk Bakery is listed. Also Epcot is a short walk.

 

[spiceycat]

so is the beach/yacht club.

but I understand one of the things I don't like about BWV - no in the resort itself - restuarant or food court or snack bar.....

MS just reminded me that Hurricane Hannas at BCV is listed as CS. Come to think of it, do you have to be staying at BCV to go there since it's within Stormalong Bay?

I just checked the list again and the Boardwalk bakery is not listed. Below are the participating restaurants, according to the list on the members site. Boardwalk Joe's, Leaping Horse, and Spoodles Pizza Window are listed for CS credits and the rest are TS credits.

Disney's BoardWalk Inn & Villas
BoardWalk Joe’s
Big River Grille and Brewing Works (L,D)
ESPN Club (L,D)
Flying Fish Café (D)
Leaping Horse Libations (L,D)
Spoodles (B,D)
Spoodles Pizza Window (L,D)

The Bakery is still listed on the chart at http://adisneyworld.disney.go.com/m.../eng/nontheme/tickets/2006DiningLocations.pdf

You can walk into HH at BCV from the walkway connecting BWV and BCV so no need to be staying at BCV to get to HH

If you try and get to HH from inside the BC or YC that is where you will run into the SAB guard unit

cheers

It looks like the list on the members site is not a complete list. Is it possible that there are less restaurant choices for DVC members than there are for regular resort guests?

The BW Bakery is on the 2006 list from the WDW website. It is not on the list from the DVC website. Also, the restaurant listing in the WDW dining site does not show it as in the dining plan.
