We will be getting two rooms for our Sept. visit. Can we get the MYW for one of the rooms, perhaps just getting two adult dining plans? Our children would never be able to eat enough for all of us to get the plan. Also, are you required to buy MYW park tickets in order to buy the dining?
 
Great questions. I just started thinking about purchasing the package today, and have been wondering the same thing. :blush:
 
I do believe you ahve to book a room/MYW ticket package to use the dining.

I don't know about the two rooms though. If your kids are under 10 though can you feed them for under 10/day?
 
You would have to make TWO separate reservations to break out the package. If you do one reservation in your name and one in your husbands, you should be able to have one reservation with dining and one without.

However, there must be park tickets in the package. (But the number of days of park tickets do not have to match the dining plan. In other words you could have 6 nights, with 6 days dining plan and one park ticket if you so wished).

Heres a very good link:

So, I could get a 1 day ticket if needed (since I have enough tickets from previous trips!), and still be able to get all days for the dining plan? That would be wonderful if it worked!! :sunny:
 
If you are getting 2 rooms in one reservation, others have said no you cant do that. All rooms on the same reservation 'have' to be on the same plan. I was thinking about you could do one room in your name and one in the other adult's name but that wouldnt get you dining for both adults. The plan can 'ONLY' be used by those listed for that room. Each reservation 'MUST' have an adult. So you couldnt book a second reservation for the kids unless one was 18. I put the words in quotes because these are rules I have seen/heard here etc but have not officialy read in disney literature.

If it helps any, I was told two different things by the CM's I asked if two of the kids could share one plate (ts or cs, obviously not at a buffet or otherwise all you can eat) and then share one again later. CS really shouldnt be able to be a problem as far as I can tell. Since they are picky and eat little at a time. One said everyone on the plan must have their own plate. The other however said just tell them when you are being seated that you are paying separately for the other one, or both kids. Buy them a drink, or whatever. but save their ts for later. Since you basically get 2 meals a day this give you a third for the kids in my case a good thing since they eat so little. I am wondering if I can take out with these left over ts's for the kids to eat while we continue to go around the park. They also told me that the meals arent regulated as to who they are used for,as long as it is someone in the same party. So When discussing this with the CM (we have 2adults &2kids) she suggested something like this-Eat at la'cellier (?) where they have a $5 kid meal,pay for this separately, let the kids split it. If you do this at two restraunts, you can all go to one of the dinner shows another night. This does cost an extra $10 + tax & tip. But If you want that it may be in the end a cost effective way to utilize the dining plan. I havent made ps's this way but I have been planning on going through menu's etc and thinking it out.
 
You could get just one day passes with the reservation but the dining is for all nights. If you split the ressies with you on one room and your dh on the other room you will still all have to be on the dining plan as everyone in a reservation has to have the same package....make sense?
 
If you frequent disney and arent necessarily working on a strict what do I need to buy for this one trip budget- speaking cost effectiveness, on the tickets -

You will have to buy 1 myw ticket per person wich I was told will expire in 14 days after you check in. You cant save it without buying no exp option and i dont know if you can even get that on the one day. you might want to go ahead and buy tickets for this trip and keep on saving those extra days.
 
You'd have to split your reservations BUT if you split your reservations you'll have a problem requesting connecting or even adjoining rooms.
 
::yes::

I thought of doing this a few weeks ago when I was toying with 2 rooms at POR. CRO said we wouldn't get connecting rooms since the reservations wouldn't be linked to one person.
 
I'd think one adult on the dining plan and one child would actually be a better bargain than paying for both adults since they are all pooled anyway.

Actually they would know if it was a childs dining plan or not, -THAT- is kept track of.

As for the splitting of the reservations, each room does need to have an adult in it. So to split it wouldn't be feasable, because YOU can't appear on 2 reservations, as that would be considered DOUBLE booking and would get the res cancelled very quickly.

The dining plan is reasonable. Most kid's meals average $5 each,so for $10, you get them 2 meals and a Snack.
