DVC Dining Plan

No guarantee that will be true in 2011.

True, I guess that there is no guarantee about anything.

Everyone is saying the price was 37.99.........I think it was pushed to 41.99. Does anyone know for sure?

I am a renter, first time. I called MS today. I told them I was a guest of so and so, gave them my ressie number and it was added. It was $434.85 for five nights. I pay for it at check in.

DIS members, thanks for all the info.

This must be new, in the past year or 2 the DVC member had to call for dinning, magical express etc. Also I thought the 2010 price for the basic dinning was $41.99 and no tip included. I am going to call MS and check so I have correct info for any guest I book for.

I've got a quick question. I'm renting DVC points. I don't have to buy tickets to get the dining plan like I would if I was going through a regular reservation. Is this right?

You do not have to buy tickets to use the DDP through the DVC.

But, to clarify, you will need a park ticket to enter the park to dine. The difference is, there is no requirement to buy that park ticket through Disney, you may purchase any type of park ticket media you wish, whether it is from Disney or an authorized ticket seller, like undercover tourist, maple leaf, etc.

Thanks both of y'all. I appreciate the fast responses. We're doing the GAD and may upgrade our vouchers to multi-day tickets which will save us a lot.

Hello all...I'm debating the DDP and have a couple questions, TIA.

1)Do all the dining credits for my family of 4 (2a, 2k) get put on a card? one room key? park ticket?

2)How can you keep track the meals left?

3) Any new info on how MS is doing DDP with a split stay and their new "one" reservation number for the entire trip. Will there be 2 DDP, one for each part of you stay like before? (i.e. you can choose do to DDP for one part of your stay and not the other.)

I was trying to do a search to answer some of these questions but I think I read something about doing searches and now I don't see the button...so what's up with that?

 

[Chuck S]

All the dining credits are electronically encoded onto your room keys. Every key can access all the credits.

There should be a tally of remaining credits at the bottom of your restaurant receipt.

As far as I know, there is no new info, and would not expect any until the the proposed changes go live.

Got it I thought that the changes were already in effect. Thanks, back to planning our meals.

Since this was posted 1 1/2 months ago just wanted to clarify. As of now if you are doing a split stay at 2 different resorts and/or with a combo of DVC points & cash you can choose the DDP for just 1 or both parts of the stay? (I.E I stay at SSR for 5 nights and choose DDP, I don't have to choose it for my last 2 nights at AKV?)

Thanks!

My question is can I just buy a Dining plan for 6 people for Sat-Sat and when the grandparents leave have the Adult friends take over the dining plan?

I am getting conflicting info so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No, Disney policy requires that everyone that will be occupying the room be listed on the reservation. That means all 8 people will need the DDP for the length of your stay (overlapping or not) unless you change rooms when the grandparents leave and the new guests arrive.

Our DVC Boards do not allow suggesting or encouraging work arounds for published Disney policies.

The DDP was not designed for the way many DVCers vacation, it was designed for cash guests that normally have the same people occupying the room for the entire length of the reservation. It is only available to DVCers through an agreement with Disney Resorts, and all of their rules apply.

Hi Chuck,

My intent was not to create a "work around" of existing Disney policy. I just didn't know the policy which is the reason for my inquiry. If you wish I do not post in the future...please advise.

Thank you.

I would think of Chuck's message as preemptive -- this issue sometimes does spawn messages from people who are recommending and/or advocating violating Disney's policies. Chuck's message would very effectively discourage those messages from being posted in response to your message.

I wouldn't read any more into it than that.

And welcome to the DIS boards!

We're 10 days out and I went to do on-line check-in for our trip. Everything looks correct but nowhere does it state that we have added the DDP. Should I be worried that the DDP is not listed on my reservation, or does this type of thing not show up?

Just want to make sure we have it. DH just added it last week and the call went very smoothly as the CM was very helpful to not-so-disney-savvy DH.

Thanks!

(Also, this is an RCI transfer if that makes any difference)

Not only that but there was a message on the thread before it was merged that was deleted suggesting a violation of Disney's stated policy.

We have never been on the dining plan since we joined DVC. How does that work if we have family that will be joining us for a portion of our trip? Do they also have to be on the dining plan and if so, if they are only there 4 out of the 6 nights that we will be can they just buy it for the 4 nights? It never even occurred to me when I added them to our reservation, that we may not be able to do the dining plan as a result.
