Need Help from DDP expert!!

[billwendy]

Hi!

We are planning a trip for the 1st week in March. As long as we check in by 3/3 would we get the DDP for our whole trip? Also, if we are staying at a value, how much to upgrade to a better DP, and what do you get when you upgrade? We would be 5 adults wanting sit down meals.

Thanks so much!!!

If you check in during a free dining period yes you get your whole stay with free dining, even if a black out occurs.

When staying at a Value you get the free QSDP (which is quick service meals) to upgrade to the regular DDP ( 1 QS meal, 1 TS meal and 1 snack per person per night booked) is about $11.00 per adult per day.

If you want to upgrade to the deluxe dining plan (DxDDP) (3 TS meals and I believe 2 snacks, may just be 1 snack and a refillable mug) per night per person is around $35-40 per person per day.

A word of caution, if you are thinking about the deluxe plan, know that March's reservations have been available for quite some time. So getting reservations for 3 TS meals per day for your entire vacation may be very difficult. Just a word of warning, would hate to see you spend extra $$ and not be able to get in to all 3 TS.

Good luck and have a great vacation!
