Going through RCI?

[jill2621]

Hi, We are thinking of booking a week at SSR/one bedroom though RCI. Is there any dining plan we are eligible to get? TIA!

no free dining.

but you should be eligible to pay normal prices for the DDP. the reservation confirmation should include a number for DVC member services - that's who to call to set things up. you probably would need to set it up several days prior to arrival.

You have to sign up for, and pay for, DDP when you book it. I believe you have to add DDP no less than 48 hours prior to your arrival date.

However, a much more important thing to remember is to make your dining reservations early.

Because of the popularity of DDP, and especially during free DDP, Disney restaurants tend to fill up quickly. ANY guest, even those staying offsite, can book Disney Dining reservations 180 days out, and the more popular places often fill up within minutes after the 180-day window opening. Getting things like Cinderella's Royal Table at the castle can be a real challenge.

You can make dining reservations regardless of how you are paying for the meals, so you don't have to decide on DDP first.

Look on the Disney Dining Plan board in the Restaurant section of the DIS for the latest, most accurate info.
