Ok so free dining was released for disney visa cardholders and to the public on may 9th and it is for the dates we have booked so please help me figure this out We have AOA nemo rooms booked for 9/22 thru 9/28 with a 5 or 6 day ticket for 2 adults and 4 kids ages 15,11,7 and 2. I know that the free dining would be counter service only so how do I figure up what the difference is to upgrade to the counter service/table service dining plan? I was "told" that you could upgrade to the dining plan that includes 1 counter service and 1 table service and snacks but how do I find out the difference? Or what other options do you suggest? We would really like the dining plan with the counter/table options since we already ADR's. Thanks in advance for your help
You go to the Dining Plan subforum on the Disney Restaurants board here on the DIS, and you open the sticky thread that indicates IRS about the DDP prices, and you compare the prices (because some nice person o that board already did the calculations).
Here's a link to the upgrade costs: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2772063 Here's a link if you want to see the actual prices of the different plans: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2958846 You were "told" correctly. You can upgrade from the CS plan to the DDP or the DxDDP by paying the difference between the plan you have and the one you want.
A cheaper option would be to get 2 connecting rooms at a value resort and then pay the cost to upgrade the DDP. Even with the DDP upgrade cost, it will have you close to $700 to get 2 connecting rooms at All Star Movies or Pop vs one of the AoA suites.
