DVC Dining Plan

[ammeador2]

They don't need to cancel it to segment it. You just need a CM that knows how to do it, or is willing to ask someone else how to do it.

i think that's the problem no one is on the same page. what 1 CM will do another one will not. it's not that big of a deal anymore... i was merely trying to figure out if I pay right now for the Quick Service Plan if I can upgrade to regular dining with in the 48 hr window

what's an exchange? i have no idea what you are talking about.

An exchange is a room gotten through RCI and this will only be for seven nights. If this is the case, you will not be able to segment the reservation. It also raises other questions and concerns as renting an exchange wouldn't be against the exchange company policy and therefore put the reservation and RCI membership at risk. Was there mention of a $95 fee?

no, we are staying for 10 nights and there was no fee just what i paid for the points.

Good, you had me worried. Thus there should be no reason that the unit cannot be segmented. My guess is the renter doesn't want to fool with it and I can't blame them if that's the case.

you had me worried! it just sucks because if i could do it my way I would save SO much money! and it bothers me to spend money that i wouldn't have to spend..but i am going to try not to let that bother me or i won't enjoy my vacation..

The only situation where one can not segment (that I can think of) is an exchange. IF this is for 7 nights and rented, I'd be concerned. If it's an exchange and the renter pushes it, they may lose their exchange totally.

we were not able to segment our last reservation for the DDP.

They told us since we used both of our memberships and then linked the reservations, they were not able to do it.

They told us if we un-linked them and added the DDP will would have to check-out/in and would risk having to switch rooms since they would not be linked any longer.

We chose to skip the DDP as we didn't want to pack up 6 people midway through the trip.

That may be true if the memberships are technically separate because it's treated like two owners. Still, there's something not right about the issue in question.

I am seeing a bit of conflicting information on the web and even from a Disney Travel Agent regarding DVC member benefits regarding the booking window for ADRs - is there a benefit for DVC members for this?

Some webpages mention preferred seating for DVC members - does that really exist?

I'm about 10 days from the 180 day window and want to make sure I'm utilizing my benefits to their fullest when it comes time to fire on the ADRs.....

Thanks!
btl.

I've never seen any on-going DVC primacies regarding dining (except for DVC discounts, and the fact that Member Services can make ADRs.)

 

[disneynutz]

No preferred seating or special DVC benefits other than segmented reservations for the DDP.

Hi sorry to but in but I picked up this thread and began reading only ot realise that it started in 2006!!

I am going to be renting points from an OKW DVC owner here in the Uk (where I am), and will probably purchase the DDP. When do I have to book and pay for the DDP?
I read on the first page of this thread that it is paid for when checking in - is that still the case?

If so , can I "book" the DDP through the member when she books my accomodation, I will then get the 12 digit no, and will be able to book my ADR's at 180 days, clicking that I have the DDP - is that right?

Thanks for any help

Last fall they changed the rules. You have to pay for the dining plan in full when you add it. You must add it more than 48 hours before arrival.

Yes, you will be able to book ADR's at 180 days for up to 10 days and use the DDP for any ADR's that require deposits.

we are looking at going to WDW in october. I am trying to figure out the actual cost before booking. Can anybody tell me how much it is to add the DDP per adult and child to a DVC reservation. If we are staying 7 nights, so we need to pay for 8 days of dining? Does this need to be paid for when making the DVC reservation? The last time we rented points, we were able to add the dining plan on at the the time of check-in and pay for it then, has this changed?

You pay for it per night, not per day. You have to pay when you add it to your reservation now. You don't have to add it at the same time as you book the room, you can wait until 48 hours before check-in. You can't add or pay at check-in.

Dining credits are per night of stay, not days. It needs to be paid for when you add the DDP to your reservation (not when you checkin), I believe you can add it up to 48 hours prior.

These are current prices;

Quick Service Dining Plan

Adults
$34.99
Children
$11.99

Basic Dining Plan

Adults
$45.99
Children
$11.99

Deluxe Dining Plan

Adults
$78.99
Children
$21.99

thanks for the responses...now I have to figure out where to stay. We were at OKW last time and really enjoyed it but I'm thinking we should try something different this time around. Going to look into AKV.

October might be tough at this point, especially BCV or BWV.

Sorry if this has been asked. I'm an owner trying to decide whether to check in Dec 31st or Jan 1st. If we add the dining plan and check in on Dec 31st, will we get the 2011 pricing and inclusions for the entire stay?

Right now, we have enough points to check in on the 31st and if we'll get the lower price (or if we go with the QSDP, the extra snack) that might help sway our decision.

Also, if we segment our reservation and do DDP for the first couple of nights (TiW blackout) and QSDP for the rest of the stay, anyone know the rules? Will they go by 2011 inclusions since our original check-in date was in 2011? or since it's after Jan 1st, will we just get the 1 snack a day.

Thanks!
