Wait... what?
Is this something new? In 2006, we used our MYW dining TS credits for our Fantasmic Dinner Package at Mama Melrose w/ no problem.
W/ the dining plan changes, have they changed the way the FDPs work? When I booked our FDP package in December at Mama Melrose for our upcoming June trip, the CM didn't say we couldn't use our dining plan credits. Of course, I booked our ADRs in December before the new 2008 dining plan went into effect...
(I did still have to book the FDP w/ a credit card, though.)
So, now, you can't use your dining plan credits for a FDP? But you can w/ a $10 surcharge? Which is fine - especially if that gets us the full FDP package (appetizer included) instead of just entrees and desserts. When we were there in 2006, our FDP at Mama Melrose included a flatbread appetizer, family-style salad, entree, dessert, and beverages. I had already determined that, w/ the new 2008 dining plan, we probably wouldn't be getting the appetizer & salad this time.
