I have made all of our dining reservations online. We have the Deluxe Dining Plan...I did not link these reservations to our room. Does this mean we can use the dining plan?
The ADR's are not linked to your resort reservation anyway. The only thing that using your resort confirmation for is to allow you the 180+10 booking option.
We actually had to unlink our ADRs from our reservation because it was refusing to accept our credit card for hold on some of the reservations. The only way Disney Dining could figure to fix it was to unlink them and it worked. They just won't show up when you bring up your reservation but they are there.
