DVC Dining Plan

[sweet48]

as far as park tickets go , you can buy how you want at the counter when you check in. but with the dining plan you have to buy dining for everyone in the room. for all of the days in your reservation

Do I have to buy the tickets there though? Throught undercovertourist.com you can get slightly discounted tickets. For my family of 4 I'd save about $80 or so doing it that way. I've used them before, & they are cheaper.

Do I have to have just the 5 days worth of tickets or doesn't it matter?

Tickets aren't tied to a DVC DDP reservation in any way. You can purchase tickets whenever it works for you and any length pass you want.

Have fun!

If you are staying at a DVC resort on points then you can have whatever ticket media you would like from whereever you would like to purchase it. The only thing that has to be in place is your request for the DDP ahead of time as well as all members of the entire reservation party on the plan. you pay in full for the DDP at check in.

Thank you very much for answering my questions. I really appreciate it. I think I've got it all straight now as far as what to expect with the DDP.

This board it great. Thanks a million to all of you who are willing to help people like me out.

Disney World is great, I can't wait until our next trip!!!

Ok, we are going down next week... And are thinking about the DDP. We have the DDE card.
We all have PAPs.
We traded in to OKW through Interval I'nat.
So given all the above info, And having asked a lot of questions in the past, I still am in need of info. And I will be calling tomorrow morning... but you all are quicker...

I have read that we will need to call MS to get the DDP. And that ONLY DVC owners can call thrm. So if I want to add the DDP, how will I do that since we traded into the resort? I did just call OKW and they told me to call #### (edited after reading the below...)in the morning. Is that MS?

Since we all have PAPs will we still have to buy at least a 1 day MYW ticket to get the DDP? I have read that you must get a 1 Day MYW for each person in the unit in order to get the DDP. We can do that if we need to as long as they don't expire! We would just use the tickets for the odd guest that go down and meet us for 1 or 2 days..

And yes, I know I need ADRs, since it is July! I have some, so we should be fine....

Thank you all!

I can only help with the ticket question. There is no ticket requirement of any sort when purchasing DDP for a DVC stay so you're set.

Don't know about calling MS but since that is what you were told to do and they gave you the number, I would assume that's the way to go. I would consider editing the number from your post though as I don't think it's allowed to prevent abuse.

 

[idofabric]

Thank You BVC23!
And I did edit the number... I did not realize it was a private number. But now now I think about it, I can understand why I should have know...
I can only say that any non WDW thought, like phone numbers..., are not on my personal radar screen wright now...
I think that I will call the number I was given from the CM at OKW, and if I need to then I will just call the resort again and/ or II then. And if all else fails I will ask them to make a note on the ress that I tried to get the DDP in advance. And I will then send a fax to them. So I should be covered. I can't imagine that every CM knows every rule. So it will all be fine. And if all that fails then we just will deal with it. It will all be fine!

 

[BCV23]

That was fast editing!

I'm sure it will work out one way or another. Have a wonderful stay at OKW and WDW!

I've traded in many times and yes you do call MS to add the DDP. The number is listed on your confirmation from II. You also have to call to pay the $95 fee before check in.

We are staying for 4 nights the end of April. We were thinking of adding DDP for the 4 of us. My mother and her cousin will be joinging us for 2 nights. Can we get it for them for just the 2 nights.

No, it is for everyone on the room reservation for the entire length of the reservation, or no one.

In order to add someone to the DDP they must be listed on the reservation. If you have 1 reservation for 4 nights all the occupants would have to buy the DDP for all 4 nights (even if your mother and cousin will only be there for 2 out of the 4).

When we went last year my DBIL joined us for the first 4 nights....we ended up splitting our reservations between SSR and AKV so it worked out perfectly. The 4 night reservation we added him to the DDP then when we switched it was just the 5 of us on the DDP for the last 1/2 of the trip.

You have to pay that fee to trade in?

 

[Atotty]

If you add the DDP, will your confirmation show it?

 

[dianeschlicht]

If you add the DDP, will your confirmation show it?

Yes, if you do it before the confirmation is sent out. We often don't decide on the DDP until closer to trip time, so we often add it a couple weeks before the trip. In that case, it's doubtful the new confirmation is sent in time.

 

[BCV23]

Not in my experience.

 

[tigger2on]

Yes, everyone over the age of 2, and the plan must be purchased for the total number of nights of your stay.

Isn't it 3 years an above? The child meals state 3-9 years. or did you mean over 3 yrs?
