Online Disney Dining Reservation System

[csmommy]

WHY is it that the online Disney dining system does not have "correct" informtion, or are their brochures incorrect?

On my confirmtion email for Teppan Edo it says they only accept the DDxP but the brochure says DDP.

The confirmtion email I received for Via Napoli says it is not on the dining plan at all, but the brochure says it is.

Which do I believe.

Also, didn't it used to ask if you were celebrating something? We are eating in France for DD's b-day, should I call & let them know or just say something when we sit down?

Currently, the Disney site is considering restaurants that accept the Platinum or Premium plans as accepting the DDP (so on the site it at first looks like they take the DDP even if they don't). But that is not really correct, because a few places do not accept the basic or deluxe plan, but only the Plat/Prem plans.

I hadn't heard that the confirmations also have bad info, but that's not surprising I guess if they are generated by the online system.

There are no restaurants that accept only the Deluxe Dining Plan - they either accept the deluxe and the basis or not at all (not counting the Plat/Prem discussion above).

Use the 2011 brochure that was updated towards the end of December to know for sure which places take the DDP. The updated brochure is the correct information.

It is just confusing & a bit frustrating that the online ressie system has incorrect info.

Needless to say, that's pretty messed up! Use the brochure!
