Is this a problem?

[stinie18287]

I've been booking reservations for the past few days but because the online system isn't accepting my resort reservation info I've been booking online and over the phone. I currently have 2 from online, a bunch over the phone and one for Raglan Road from opentables.com. Will it be a problem that they're all booked different ways, some of them not attached to my resort info? I'm using the Dining Plan.. do you think it will be a problem?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It won't be a problem at all. The only time that you need to be tied to your resort reservation is when you are booking and utilizing the +10 in booking up to 10 days of your vacation at the 90 day mark.

Hopefully it should be fine, as I booked mine the same way ... a few online and a few over the phone. Crossing fingers ...

Expanding on Tricia's response, you do NOT need to have your restaurant reservations linked to your resort reservations to use the dining plan. The only exception is if you want to avoid making full payment at booking for CRT or one of the dinner shows. The phone agents can note that you are on the dining plan and not charge you when you book these, so if you made them by phone you're good.

If you are trying to make CRT or dinner show reservations online, you will probably not be able to get the system to recognize that you have the dining plan. In that case, you can do a couple of things: keep the online reservation, pay for it at booking and get the full amount refunded when you arrive for your reservation and change your method of payment to dining credits; book it online, pay for it, call the phone line and have it rebooked as a dining plan reservation (although they will have to cancel the online reservation to do that, so it will only work if the phone agent can rebook you for the same date, time and party size); or just wait and book by phone.

thanks for the info! I'm not booking CRT or any dinner shows so that shouldn't be a problem...
